Mind’s Eye

The rocks of various sizes are arranged on small white pebbles in five groups, each comprising five, two, three, two, and three rocks. The garden contains 15 rocks arranged on the surface of white pebbles in such a manner that visitors can see only 14 of them at once, from whichever angle the garden is viewed. According to legend, only when someone attains spiritual enlightenment as a result of deep Zen meditation can he see the last invisible stone with his mind’s eye.

    Dude, it looks like somebody crapped on your pebbles.
    Just saying.
    Actually, that is pretty cool. Don’t tell anybody I said so.
