Tori Gate

Before you stands the Zen garden's Torii Gate. Recognize it as a symbolic passage into a realm of
heightened sacredness and tranquility. As you step through this sacred threshold, take a moment to
inhale the tranquility surrounding you, and as you exhale, feel a sense of calm wash over you, allowing
yourself to fully immerse in the experience.
Allow the gate to guide you into a space where the ordinary transforms into an extraordinary sacred
realm. Physically and symbolically, embrace this transition as more than a metaphorical crossing. This
sacred passage invites you to delve deeper into your inner landscape, revealing the profound beauty
that awaits within the garden and the depths of your own being that extend beyond the gate.
So I ask . . .
• As you stand before the Torii Gate, how does your physical presence shift in response to the
symbolism and energy it represents?
