How To Make a Zen Rock Circle

On a recent zen retreat in Shizuoka, we made this little movie about how to make a perfect zen circle. Take a few minutes to enjoy the slow, peaceful process!

The dude in blue, Renfield, has an awesome blog which you can find at http://www.giveyourmeat.com

I get that this is zen but why do circles? Does it represent something? No disrespect what so ever i just wanted to know how it got started and why?

[yogagarden]

@MarlasanLovesCake You can make any shape you want, squares are also popular. But in zen the circle has a special significance because it represents completeness. The idea being that we are already complete and enlightened if we could only wake up to that reality.

i dont see the point in a zen garden..

[yogagarden]

@SIMul8rReviews better to make a pixel garden in the Sims?

[timar03]

@yogagarden with that answer you are saying that it has no benefits at all it is just for fun and for people who like gardens generaly.

since i dont like gardens at all, and this is only for people who like gardens, a zen garden would be useless to me.

[yogagarden]

@timar03 Zen is useless too.

I want to gather an elite team of rock garden experts to go around at night and do this to peoples drive ways LOL.
