The Back Terrace

One of the most notable features of the Temple is the expansive back deck that looks over the Meditation Trails. Along with pots of pansies, delicate birch trees, and an endless number of birds at any one time, there are around twenty tables on the terrace, each with many chairs around them. A large, silver stone is placed in the center of a mowed patch of grass along the Meditation Trails. “This two-ton granite rock, found under the Sanctuary as the footings were being dug, was moved to a grassy knoll north of the Temple…Some call it the Rock of ECK.” 1
