Dream
I am in the monastery, everyone has left and I stepped
outside too because I was told I could not be in the monastery. I go out to eat a cracker while standing at
the front door. People returned, it is
evening, others looked at me wondered why I am still standing in the dark
instead of inside. So I proceeded to
enter and I am now at another part of the monastery. I saw various staff working on various
operations of the monastery. I thought
to myself, “Looks like everything is under control. I continued to pass through various
departments and saw scenes of people working away. I thought in great relief, “How great is
this! Everything is so well taking cared
of everyone is so productive! I am so
proud of seeing these sights.” I decided
there was nothing for me to do and retired to my room up the stairs. As I climbed the stairs, I realized, this was
my monastery, I run it, I live in it, and how silly I was to have stood outside
alone in the dark and cold because I heard someone say I can’t be inside. Who was this person anyways, just a voice from
a distance, why did I have to follow it?
