"As long as I can remember, in the temple, I have seen as many pilgrims as the common people coming and going in the capital. They are born, old, sick and die, loved and separated, long-lasting grievances, unable to pray and unable to let go. Some people beg for ten years day after day, and some cry their heads in vain overnight. However, the suffering in the world is far more than this. There are always more. The Buddha said, 'If you give up desires and have no desires, you should get your destiny.' How easy is it? Desire, love, It's all secular, some people value it more than life and death. Those who regard wealth as their fate will die for love, and those who would rather die than surrender are like this. Who dares to say that you have never walked through many roads in person? But how many things can be seen in the world, after all, you can see the vast plains, the rivers and mountains, the setting sun piercing the lonely clouds, the wild cranes flying thousands of miles, and the green mountains chiselling for thousands of years.

She paused, her eyes drifting further away.
"Looking back, what is life for?"
