The Gardens of Suzhou 15. Zigzag Bridge
The objective in employing such a bridge, constructed according to Zen
philosophy and teachings, is to focus the walker's attention to the mindfulness
of the current place and time moment - "being here, now." As it sometimes has no
railings, it is quite possible for an inattentive walker to simply fall off an
end into the water.
