Mnemonic

Imagine a Buddhist temple, late in the day, with the sun already almost setting in the west. The monks at the temple are busy meditating, with the sun's gentle warmth caressing their faces. They've been doing that for several hours already, but to them it's only been a short while since they started. Yes, the flow of time at a Buddhist temple is very different from anywhere else in the world.
