Sarnath, India

An old place with beautiful memories
Cold wind touches my lips
And feeling so blessed and safe
with white shawl covered my body.

Morning bell started with a good thought...
with a silent move and begin with a prayer
Sunlight come to shine the land
Remind me there is a hope everyday...

Sitting with a quiet mind
Parrots start to sing with a lovely song
Squirrels walk around with alert mind
And the ants finding food for their love one.

Sitting on a bench with a relax mind
Silently reading a book of dhamma
And waiting for the calm and beautiful sunset
Telling me everything are completely fine...

The moon and the stars begin to shine
with thousand of lamps shining the Vihara
Accompany with the bright smiles and the shining eyes
with a thousand of shots of memories.

The day ended with a kind heart
And seeking forgiveness from sangha
May all being be well and happy
May they be protected by the Buddhas and Dewas...
