The monologue at the beginning of Praying for Buddha explained: There are two people in this world, one is me and the other is my shadow. I don't know who I am or where I'm from. However, I know that my existence is not to survive in this world, but to seek a power that transcends life. My shadow was a young man named Ah Fu. He came from a distant era like me, but he had a completely different fate from me. His fate was destined to walk a completely different path in search of a power that surpassed life. It was a sunny day when Ah Fu and I met. We met Ah Fu beside a stream, feeding a small fish. He looks very kind and I like him very much. We began to talk about many questions about life and existence. "Do you know why you seek a power beyond life?" I thought for a moment and replied,"I don't know." However, I know that I need a power that can allow me to transcend my own life and lead to a better future." Ah Fu was silent for a while and then said,"I know you're looking for a power that transcends life because you have a heart that yearns for change." You are a man of courage and determination. I believe you will find the power you want." I nodded and looked at Ah Fu gratefully. I know that he has become a very important person to me.
