What is it like to be surrounded by clouds?
Mountain fields, mist, mountains and rivers.
Once the footprints arrive, the distractions quiet down.
Rustic earthen walls, connecting the threshold of history, come and go in the depths of memory.
The wet floor tiles, with the thickness of history, seem to take people back to a thousand years ago.
Even with each passing day, it can't shake the innocence and simplicity of the past.

The eternal ice and snow quietly melted, washed away the dust of the mortal world, listened to stories about heaven more than once, read countless descriptions of heaven, and always imagined what heaven should look like, until, when I met the rainslide, I didn't know that if I didn't go to heaven, I would go to the rainslide.
At the foot of this sacred snow-capped mountain, in this quiet forest, by this noisy mountain spring, the clanging of copper bells accompanied by the sound of prayer wheels resounded over the entire village.
Cooking smoke rises, surrounds the treetops, and fills the grass, far away and quiet.
If you can let go of all the burdens, in the rainslide, chop wood to feed the horses, you can throw all your thoughts into the dust.
