| | Zen garden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The claim that Zen monks use gardens for meditation is contrary to the fact that Zen monks in Japan nearly always meditate indoors, facing either a wall (Soto Zen) or the center of the room (Rinzai Zen), not facing a landscape. | | | They are used by Japanese Zen monks in meditation. | | | More criticisms of the "Zen garden" may be found in the Journal of Japanese Gardening. |

| | Japanese Zen Garden |
| | Muso, a Zen monk and creator of gardens for the Ashikaga shogunate, made a name for himself as a garden builder, but at the time he was excoriated by other Zen monks. | | | In the true meaning of the word, Zen Buddhism is a serious and rigorous religion. | | | It is misleading to use “Zen garden” to refer to style because gardens at Zen temples were designed in different styles. |
