A year ago, I visited a garden called the Garden of Peace, and I think this is the best time to talk about it in the light of recent events around the world. Many translate the tour of the Buddha Eden as peace portrayed in a garden.
The Garden was begun in 2001 at Quinta dos Loridos, in the parish of Carvalhal in Bombarral, owned by Commander Joe Berardo. After the Taliban government destroyed unique monuments, classified by UNESCO as World Heritage, the Commander Berardo began another of his dreams, the construction of this extensive garden, paying tribute to the colossal Buddhas carved into the rock in the Bamyan valley in the center Afghanistan.
The garden has about 35 hectares, and is still a work in progress, however, can count on a huge number of sculptures. In this oriental garden, about 6000 tons of marble were carved. The landscape design was the direct guidance of the Commander.
It is now the largest garden of this kind in Europe. Consisting of various routes, always flanked with statues and small meditation spaces. With a symbolic price of 2,5€, and children under 12 are admitted free.
The garden aims, inner peace, with visitors and the world. |
