"Beneath the Bodhi Tree" Meditation Stone

As if brushed with watercolors, this polished meditation stone is marked with swirling patterns of dark and light. Historically, stones with intriguing shapes and patterns such as this were sought after by Chinese scholars who plumbed their mysteries in search of universal truths and poetic inspiration. Amidst currents of tan, brown and dark grey, we see the wide canopy of the Bodhi tree, a powerful symbol in Buddhism as the location of Buddha's enlightenment.
