These profound topics led the Pei family to a deeper understanding of their own lives.
After the meal, the sunlight filtered through the ancient trees of the temple, casting mottled patterns of light and shadow.
Madam Pei suggested visiting the praying area of the temple again to conduct a special blessing ceremony for Jiang Yuzhu and Men Ling.
She believed that, although they had already participated in a group prayer in the morning, a private blessing for the new lives about to arrive would bring them an even more special and direct blessing.
The suggestion was supported by the whole family, and the Pei family, led by the Monk,
entered once more into a serene courtyard deep within the temple, where the environment was quiet and elegant, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance that calmed the mind and spirit.
