..gasping at the buddha's leg..

I went to the temple today.
For I am a bad person.
I went to the temple today to pray.
For I am a bad person.

I thought to myself. There are a lot of bad people here isn't it ? I mean the whole temple is crowded. There are a lot of bad people.

Then I was told, that it's not true. Not only bad people come to the temple. I asked "really?" Then I wonder why do people go to the temple. Would someone who has been really a saint come to the temple and say " I am here today because I am too good a person." Will that happen? Would someone come to the temple and say "I am here today at the temple because I am doing so much good things." hmn....

Then I was told again that's not true. People come to temple with regards to things. Then I thought to myself, Then there must be a lot of greedy people. For the temple is crowded again. If most of them did not come to the temple because they are bad but just to want things. Because again I don't think someone would come to the temple and say " I am here today because I have too much things ." or " I am here today because I have too much money." dun think that would happen.



I go to the temple today.
because I am a bad guy.
I go because I wonder why my punishment is not here yet,
and I just simply want to thank buddha for the borrowed time.
