It
was
amazing
experience
for
me
to
be
able
to
visit
Zen
garden
again
yesterday,
the
day
of
Garden
Open
for
Charity.
Compare
to
my
first
private
visit
which
was
really
quiet
and
peaceful,
this
time
temple
has
different
atmosphere
in
positive
sense
because
of
the
fund
raising
for
National
Garden
Scheme.
The
entrance
fee
for
the
fund
of
National
Garden
Scheme,
3
pounds,
is
worthwhile
to
donate
to
charities
to
help
people!
To
be
able
to
listen
to
a
talk
given
by
the
designer
of
the
garden
was
good
to
know
and
it
was
given
free
of
charge.
(Unfortunately,
the
person
who
put
a
feedback
below
misunderstood
the
entrance
fee
as
the
charge
for
this
talk.)
Japanese
tea
ceremony
was
also
enjoyable
and
really
cheap.
(I
have
never
experienced
any
tea
ceremonies
for
such
price.)
All
female
people
in
the
tea
ceremony
welcomed
me
wearing
Japanese
traditional
Kimono!!
It
means,
I
believe,
they
welcomed
all
visitors
in
the
politest
way
in
Japanese
tradition.
If
you
are
interested
in
Zen
garden
or
Japanese
culture,
I
recommend
you
to
visit
next
garden
open
weekend.
If
you
are
seeking
for
Buddhism
or
peaceful
atmosphere,
it
may
be
better
to
visit
TW
for
meditation
class
or
at
other
religious
activities.
