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.
But of course, how far have you come? It has been quite a long journey, my group has walked for days. Have you no horses to ride? Walking for day, you need plenty of rest. That we do, unfortunately horses are scare where I am from. Wel come, sit or lay on the floors. This is the meditation room, have you ever meditated?  I cannot say that I have, how do you go about it? See those statues over there? Yes, what about them? Mimic their pose. Close your eyes. INHALE and EXHALE deeply I see, like this? PERFECT. I do feel much better.
