Immediately after crossing the bridge over the water, the path continues up a series of steps over a small rise. The air here feels pleasantly warm or cool, depending upon the time of day. Scents of the garden may include jasmine, cherry blossom, apple blossom, and orchid, depending on the time of year.

This is the Teagarden of the Soul, a place of meditation and healing, where many journeys begin and Enlightenment beckons. Enter in peace, all who seek The Way.

One path leads east up the steps and over a rise.  One path leads south over the moon bridge.
