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 work at the village school. I teach all the children from the ages of 3 to 13. Without me they wouldn't receive a decent education. I am very important in my village.
Same, it helps keep me centered and gives guidance for my students.  Does anyone mind if we passa round this incense? It really helps me focus during my meditation. This smells amazing! i can feel the relaxation already!  I can feel it already. This is when I feel closest to god. After a long day of teaching, i don't think anything could come close to resting as this does. What subject do you teach? I teach at the village school, ages 3 to 13, I teach them everything they need to know to advance in the world. Tell me, do you educate them in the importance of faith? Sunday school is not enough for these you children.  I teach them that having something to believe in and to guide you will better help to make it through some tough times. To know there is always a friend by your side. What a lovely sentiment. I feel our children are being well guided by your hand.  I appreciate that very much, together we will ensure the go into the world with a good heart and good mind. Yes, but for a few moments, I must admit I am enjoying our time away from the children.
