The stupa itself is surrounded by gorgeous bushes and flowers which bloom at different times throughout the warmer times of the year and therefore let the Wisdom Garden appear in many different beautiful ways throughout the year. There is a stone path around the wisdom garden, where one can practice walking meditation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300;\">As the wisdom garden is immensely uplifting and bringing joy to one\u2019s heart, it has become a well-loved spot to take wedding photos, to meet friends, and to get inspired for introspection and serenity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d489050 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d489050\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa9772d\" data-id=\"fa9772d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ba43f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ba43f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/gomde.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pool.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9772\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gomde.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pool.webp 720w, https:\/\/gomde.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pool-240x300.webp 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-370d064\" data-id=\"370d064\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ae12c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ae12c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"font-style: normal; color:#8c5800;\">Bodhi Pond<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300;\">Protected by the forest, surrounded by meadows and fruit trees, lays Gomde\u2019s charming Bodhi-Pond.
