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.
Yes father. I was just finishing my meditation. these flowers look beautiful today. don't you agree? Indeed they do. They give beauty to the present, and have aided my meditation today. meditation is good for your soul.  I have been wholly enriched by it, and meditating in this outer garden helps as well. How is your day, father? this has been a very nice day so far. I was just feeding this eagle.  Is it a pet of the temple? It's not really a pet, but it often comes here. we like to give it food. it's an amazing creature.  Indeed, it is quite majestic. Have you shown it to his majesty? no, he doesn't often come to this temple.  I see. That is unfortunate, as the temple can be a place of quiet reflection that may help his reign. how long have you been a monk here?
