It means some one put an idol in the cat box again! Does it smell like freshstep???

all i know is people have the statues for good luck, theres like 3 different color ones and each represents something which i cant remember but i think? the green one is for money. my boyfriend haves a small red one which i should ask him what that one means. you can also check online about the meaning of buddha, and you can get info good luck!

You are supposed to rake the sand and leave the pattern the rake leaves.
It is supposed to let you empty your mind of worries by just concentrating on raking the sand nicely.

Kind of like having a cup of tea.

It means that people have run out of ideas when they're getting presents for you.

I don't know but I think its something like feng shui. Don't you think?

Zen Gardens - I have a few, myself.

it teaches one patience, clarity of mind and body, gentleness and understanding of how all things are connected.

this coming Spring, I will be creating a new Garden. It will be rather large in my back yard. so excited about it....

It's a meditation garden. It's not a shrine. It's a very soothing thing to have and use.

 

[Designer~Wife]

It means she is very (or at least interested) into Zen and Feng Shui.

 

[ttLogicisLogicaltt]

its a zen garden....its meant to calm things down and stuff
my bros gf is buddist and she has the same stuff

 

[mŠmmImmAmmhemmmmmmmmmim]

She's a Zen Buddhist.

The little "gardens" are meant to make you more zen.
