Zen gardens originated in Japan and were used to symbolize the Buddhist concepts of detachment from the material world and the transitory nature of all earthly things.
A typical zen garden consists of a carefully raked sand or gravel "pond" with several carefully placed rocks or boulders. The idea is to create a miniature landscape that can be contemplated as a reflection on the greater world. In this way, zen gardens can be seen as an aid to meditation and mindfulness.
