This was written on a rock on Cobra Kai on Netflix. [Season 3 , Episode 8 , ~
22.5 minutes]

What does it mean ?

Google Translation:

Envy shows a rockless garden

I'm surprised and disappointed if it means nothing or if at least it is a bad
translation of something. They had a great chance to impart some wisdom from
both Japanese culture and from karate philosophy. Why would they not hire
experts to confirm all these details ? At S3E4 ~32.5 minutes, Daniel clinks
drinks with Kumiko and says kanpai, she responds with karii. I looked it up
and karii is in fact an Okinawan version of kanpai. I was impressed by this.
Why they couldn't do the same for the writing on the rock is beyond me.

What does this Japanese mean ? It was written on a rock on the series Cobra Kai ? 妬みは岩のない庭を見せる
It's gibberish, and the "handwriting" is distinctly that of a beginner.
"岩のない庭を見せる" is very unnatural and matches the pattern generated by poor
machine translation, so my guess is someone put something into machine
translation and then transcribed the result. Maybe someone can reverse
engineer what was put in.

First, it's based off a russian proverb, "Envy sees an ocean without rocks",
so it's not even Japanese. Second, the verb is incorrect. The stone says
"miseru" (to show) and not "miru" (to see).
