Cloud Gate at Samten Hills Dalat

In Buddhism, clouds symbolize the impermanence of reality and the transient, illusory nature of all phenomena. They serve as a reminder to practitioners of the importance of cultivating wisdom and compassion to transcend the cycle of birth and death. Additionally, clouds represent the clarity of insight that pierces through the veils of ignorance, leading to enlightenment.

Samten Hills Dalat – A Land to Return, where clouds move freely like the unbound mind.

Inspired by the gentle, free-floating clouds, the Samten Hills Dalat Gate – also known as the Cloud Gate – is thoughtfully designed to harmonize with the natural beauty of the forested highlands of Don Duong, where Samten Hills Dalat is nestled.
