Through the pine forest, you can see a dry landscape courtyard, called "Benlong Court". The unique design on the ground has also become a highlight of the temple. The dry landscape courtyard is a unique garden landscape in Japan. It is paved with white sand and stone to symbolize the lake and sea, and the lines represent the water grains. The stacked stones symbolize the islands, land, and mountains, such as a white landscape painting. A few pens are the spiritual world that Zen understands. One sand, one world, one flower, one paradise.
