The outside temple is surrounded by lush green trees that have aged beautifully and carry beautiful blossoming jasmine flowers with a pink and white outline. The candles melted around the temple shine brightly and bring a light of glory to the place.

I am a monk who has went through intense meditation. I live only in the present moment. I give advice to the king that will make him happier.
Look, Eagle! See this beautiful jasmine that grows here outside the temple? Its a most rare form. I love the season when these are in bloom. I sit on the trees and my feathers become perfumed by them. And you, Eagle. You bring a glorious touch to this sacred place. I've spent my day in meditation and then left to see such a fantastic gift from God. Thank you. I really like the way the sun hits my feathers during sun set. I amaze myself sometimes. How did you come to this temple? It's not very often I see eagles around here. Do you have a family? Not yet. I decided to come here and sit. I hope a female lives around here and will notice me. I have heard the calls but have not seen her yet. I will pray that you will find a mate. As a monk, I have never had a woman in my life, but hear they can be quite a blessing.  I hope so. I heard they can be a pain. Perhaps when you find one, you can pass on this jasmine to her. Thank you. I have heard females like flowers and nice smelling males. I think she will like to live here with me, yes? I think she will. I can think of no better place! Oh thank you! Since I arrived to this magical place I never want to leave.
