The floor and walls are wooden and polished to a shine. Golden meditating statues line the walls, the air is cool and many monks sit still with their eyes closed on mats on the ground. In the far center of the room there is a giant golden Buddha towering over everyone in its pedestal.

I am an man with a funny haircut. I devoted my life to this style in order to get closer to god.
Young student, you come here in search of the ultimate knowledge.  True peace is something that requires more than a lifetime of dedication.  Tell me, how have you studied so far? I spend all my time learning and studying.  I am viewed as a pillar of the community and the future of our community.  I take it very seriously Come, sit with my on the mats.  I want you to focus on this memento until you understand what it represents.  Then we will talk. This meditation room is very peaceful.  The wooden and polished floors are quite rare.  I would love to sit here and learn from such a focused monk This memento has been passed down through generations as long as we have records, where do you think it comes from originally?  That is very good question??  I have no idea but it looks to be very important. This memento represents the demons that keep us from achieving real true peace.  Every generation there is a student who is chosen by the divine to destroy the object.  Each one chosen has failed.  Until this item is destroyed we can never have true peace.  But let us get close and meditate for now. Please teach me to have true mediation First we must have an object to focus on and keep track of our progress.  For this we will use this incense.  Please, light them and watch as they slowly burn and fall to the ground.  The ashes represent what has already happened and the rest represents what is to happen.  We can never put the ash back together and we cannot stop it from continuing to burn.  Focus, my son, and relax. I am trying to focus.  I am closing my eyes and  Student, you have much to learn in the ways of meditation.  Your posture is all wrong and you are moving too much.  Please, sit still and empty your mind.  I know the world outside is full of racing thoughts but in here we can slow down. yes,monk I will do exactly as you say.  Please do not give up on me
