So this other day I decided to just take a walk, it was Sunday, and usually on Sundays I take break from everything, I press Pause! Sunday is “ME” time!
As I was touring the city, I found myself going to the mall, I don’t know why, but I was there. I saw 2 Chinese man wearing Orange Buddhism Garments, and I thought to myself “my life is about to change” since talking with one of the wisest people has always been my dream.
I stood in front of them and did the salute, as I have seen in videos, and they both smiled. The other one was young, and he was with his Grandfather, Father, Or Mentor; I don’t know! “and they saluted back” I then asked them, “are you Monks?” with not fluent English, they replied “Yes we are”!
I was excited and my mind was all over the place, I saw how free they were, their skin, their smile and laughter was just out of this world. And my expectations were high, I wanted to learn something for just those few minutes, and I asked “How can I find enlightenment?”, badly they were tourists and they were not good at listening, nor speaking English. With a big smile on his Face, the old man just said, “GRATITUDE” “MEDITATE”! And that’s when I thought “I almost had a life changing conversation with the happiest man in the world” but I will continue to be Grateful and Meditate!!!!!
