The ginkgo tree behind this buddha statue is over 1000 years old. It was near here that Lao Tzu is thought to have taught his students his natural philosophy of adhering to the 'Tao.'"There was something formless yet complete, that existed before heaven and earth; without sound, without substance, dependent on nothing, unchanging, all pervading, unfailing. One may think of it as the mother of all things under heaven. Its true name we do not know; 'Tao' is the name that we give it. Were I forced to say to what class of things it belongs I should call it Great." (Tao Te Ching, Chapter 25)
