“I told one of the monks that I was Christian, but this place, it felt so spiritual to me. Do you know what he said?” I shook my head. “‘Same God, different name.”

“The lotus grows in the mud, but it reaches up for the sun, and as it emerges it produces the most beautiful flower in the world. According to Buddha, every person has the potential to become enlightened and to become perfect. It is just a matter of time before we reach the light. If not in this life, then the next, or the one after that.”
