In this peaceful image taken at the Van Duc pagoda in Hoi An, the sunlight piercing through the trees adds an almost divine aura to the scene. The immaculate white statue represents Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion, standing on a pedestal in the shape of a lotus flower. She is surrounded by large, organically shaped rocks, partially covered in vegetation, evoking permanence and wisdom.
An elegant white stone lantern stands beside her, reinforcing the sense of contemplation and spirituality of the site. In the foreground, a small altar with offerings - fruit, flowers and incense - bears witness to the devotion of visitors. In the background, a discreet building blends into the forest, while the lush vegetation creates a soothing natural setting.
This sacred garden harmoniously combines natural, spiritual and architectural elements. It is a place of meditation where every detail, from the texture of the rocks to the play of light, seems designed to inspire calm, compassion and respect for living things. An invitation to slow down and open up to something greater.
