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.

It's good we get to rest after that long journey. We are both weary. I just need a mug of ale and relax.
Hello monk! Wow, it's nice to see a fresh face! Can I ask you a question? Sure! Is my haircut funny looking to you? I mean, some might say so. But I say, to each his own. If you like it, that's all that matters! I do not like it, but since I devote my life to God I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah, fashion is overrated, anyway. I spend too much time on the road to worry too much about how I look. You do look a bit dirty. Yeah, we just finished a very long journey. I haven't bathed in over a week. Oh that is what I am smelling!  Why are you here then? Just for some rest and relaxation. I guess I should've taken a bath first. Oh yes, I think you should have! But it is okay. The Lord loves us all. even the ones that smell.
