“The peace gained from Shohin-Bonsai”

“Bonsai is moving meditation someone has said. And this can in some sense hold some thruth. Although the practice of meditation is very much with focus into your self with the purpose of putting the ego into the distance, and the art of Bonsai is with all the focus on the tree in the pot. Bonsai is thereby indirectly a kind of meditation, because all focus is put into the tree, and thereby the ego of human is diminished. The concentrated work with the tree will also gain peace of mind.”
