This photograph depicts the three-storied pagoda of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, standing quietly between twilight and distant mountains. Architecture is silent, but it is like talking to heaven and earth.
The body of the tower is stacked from the bottom up, layer by layer, like the spiritual journey of the practitioner: starting from the earthly world, step by step towards a purer and higher spiritual realm. The picture wheel is like an antenna, leading people's wishes and beliefs to the boundless.
This is not only the beauty of architecture, but also a condensation of internal order and time standing still.
