give and get

There is a Buddhist belief that if you support a mountain or tree that it will support you. There were hundreds of bamboo poles tucked up into the cliff.

This was right before we came to a cave where a Buddhist monk lived. He was a wonderful man that gave us bracelets for good luck. He then asked if I would like to join him in a life of meditation. He was not trying to recruit or convert a guess he just saw something in me.

It is a tempting offer.
