Samsara, The Beauty of Taking the Long Way

Sometimes the most beautiful places are the ones that visitors never get to see.

Samsara was never created to be explored in a hurry. Every winding path, every hidden corner, every quiet garden and peaceful resting place has its own story to tell. Some of the most beautiful spots are not marked on a map, nor will you discover them by simply teleporting from one destination to another.

They are waiting for those who take the time to wander.

I have always hoped that visitors would experience Samsara on foot, following its pathways, crossing its bridges, discovering little places they never knew existed. There is something special about turning a corner and finding an unexpected view, a peaceful sanctuary, or a small detail that was placed there with love and care.

During the time Samsara was under different management, certain areas became inaccessible because of strict access restrictions and a number of technical errors. Unfortunately, this meant that visitors were sometimes unable to explore parts of the region that were always meant to be enjoyed.

I am happy to say that these issues have now been resolved. Samsara is once again open for exploration, without those unnecessary restrictions standing in your way.

And so, I have one little request.

When you visit Samsara, please resist the temptation to use teleporters all the time. Take a walk instead. Follow a path simply because you are curious where it might lead. Stop for a moment, look around, listen to the surroundings and allow yourself to get a little lost.

You might discover something that has been there for years, patiently waiting to be noticed.

Samsara is more than a collection of beautiful buildings, gardens and landscapes. It is a place of memories, creativity, tranquility and countless hours of dedication. Every part of it carries something meaningful, including the wonderful creations left behind by those who are no longer with us.

Now that Samsara has returned home, I would love nothing more than to see people truly enjoying everything it has to offer.

There is no need to rush. There is no finish line.

Sometimes the most beautiful destination is the one you discover when you weren't looking for it.

Welcome back to Samsara, and please, take the scenic route.

With love,

Yana Dakota

Keeper of Samsara
