What distinguishes the zen garden at ryoanji from this stained glass window at chartres cathedral?

Both are temples designed to inspire reflection, meditative thought and are places of significant art and design. The Ryoanji garden uses asymmetry, spacial composition, minimalism and little color that arranges three small islands in a perfectly kept graveled garden with a prominent cherry blossom; the stained glass window at Chartres Cathedral, however, uses light, complicated symmetrical patterns, figuration, lots of color on the two-dimensional form of the glass.
