Wed January 16th

On Wed January 16th 2008 our group visited Taj Mahal in Agra(India). I saw Buddhist monks in their bright orange robes and sandals. One young monk was wearing a thick dark blue wool ski cap.
I sat down next to a monk. I asked him where he was from. He said, Thailand. He said they were vacationing in India and going back to Thailand soon.
I told him that I'm a Christian. The beating heart of my life is knowing I am loved.
As we sat there I looked deeply into his eyes and said, Tell me about your spirituality. He looked deeply into my eyes and said, Huh?
I said, Tell me what you believe.
He said, No comment.
I said, Like are you seeking enlightenment? Oneness?
He answered, No comment.
He lit up and said, Ah, there's our leader. Ask him.
I did. He looked at a complete loss for words. He told me about their daily schedule. Period.
I think I'm seeking enlightenment - about how to talk with Buddhist monks.
