The Cocoon Garden
 
As Buddhists believed that the universe exists in every flower.  Each flower in the Cocoon Garden reflects the social reality of the world at large, and the small flowers are also a momentary mapping of our own life struggles.

The three flowers you encountered in the Cocoon Garden this time represent the suboptimal parent-child relationships that occur in many East Asian families.

These traumas are passed down through generations in our culture and then repeated. However, the source of these sufferings should not be blamed on our previous generation. As Buddhists believed that the universe exists in every flower, we hope that we can see and understand ourselves through these flowers.
