BaiLouYin at Jokhang Temple, watching the pilgrims pray at dawn
“These people are here to pray for their afterlife, what are you praying for?”
“I don’t need an afterlife; I only wish to be with you in this lifetime.”
A steady stream of pilgrims came from all directions. BaiLuoYin became a part of this group, continually getting up, raising his hands and bowing…. Along the way…. he didn’t know how many times his head had bowed to the ground. He didn’t know how many times he had repeated his prayer, again and again, until the road in front of him had become blurry, leaving only the long shadow of Buddha.
I don’t need an afterlife; I only wish to be with you in this lifetime.
I don’t need an afterlife; I only wish to be with you in this lifetime.
I don’t need an afterlife; I only wish to be with you in this lifetime.
I don’t need an afterlife; I only wish to be with you in this lifetime.
