Audience Hall

Further along the main pathway you pass the Octagonal Pond before reaching the Boulder Garden at the base of the rock. This garden consists of winding paths around natural, fallen boulders that would once have held many buildings. To the north, you can see Preaching Rock, so-called because of the tiered platforms that would have been used by orating monks. Also you can see the Audience Hall, named because of a throne carved into the rock at one end, and the Cistern that both form one part of a huge split rock.
