It is said that a kind of 'store consciousness,' what is known in Buddhism as alaya-vijnana, exists in the heart of all human beings. - Ken Matsubara
Matsubara's exploration with nature throughout the lands of Japan inspired him to become involved with tea ceremonies. As a result, he understood nature's actual scenery is created by water truly. He believes that scenery is born when mental images and reality are combined.
