AVE MARIA or BUDDHIST


Photo: Peace and Compassion




It makes me remember my childhood--When I was 08 years old, I used to get sick because lack of  nutritions.My grandma used to  me to a temple to bless me healthier---I was so hungry ,and I took knee down to bless the Buddhist that "could you please give me some fruits , the people in this town would bring for you the other fruits,you do not need to eat. Without eating, I would die"..he...he...



“What little girl! You’re Christian already? Dang family ‘s Catholic, maybe they want you to go to Church, you serve music for Church weekly, and you do not know how you should respect to Buddhist!”—Grandma yelled at me “ You should leave your foster fathers to come back to your biological family”—said she.

“Grandma, whosoever—Ave Maria  or Buddhist—who gives me food, I’ll respect and love her”---whispered  little “the Mandolin” .
