龍安寺

Also known as Ryōan-ji

Ryōan-ji (, , The Temple of the Dragon at Peace) is a Zen temple located in northwest Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Myōshin-ji school of the Rinzai branch of Zen Buddhism. The Ryōan-ji garden is considered one of the finest surviving examples of kare-sansui ("dry landscape"), a refined type of Japanese Zen temple garden design generally featuring distinctive larger rock formations arranged amidst a sweep of smooth pebbles (small, carefully selected polished river rocks) raked into linear patterns that facilitate meditation. The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monumen

龍安寺（日语：龍安寺）是位於日本京都府京都市右京區的臨濟宗妙心寺派的寺院。以石庭而聞名。山號為大雲山。龍安寺創建于寶德2年（1450年）。本尊為釋迦如來、創立者為細川勝元、開山（初代住持）為。以古都京都的文化財一部份而列入了世界遺產。1975年英女王伊麗莎白二世訪問日本時，曾表示希望能參觀龍安寺內的庭園，參觀后英女王對庭園贊不絕口，也讓龍安寺庭園在世界范圍內名聲大噪。有專家研究，園中有隱含的結構，是用來吸引觀眾的無意識視覺敏感度。龍安寺的石庭是日本最有名的枯山水園林精品。
