This is a photo of Xing. He is a former monk in LP. He now works at a cafe in LP. We took in a waterfall via motorbike and spent many hours trying to figure out how he can use his love of math to make a better living in LP.
I taught him and his friends how to bake cupcakes and found the cupcake liners at a local store. Which was a miracle!
The day after I gave him the recipe I came to the cafe and he presented me with a plate full of cupcakes that he made. They were pretty good!
I played GO FISH with he and his co-workers and watched videos at his cafe with the other tourists. We became good friends.
Xing always carried a tiny little drawstring bag everywhere. I asked him what was inside the bag and he explained that inside are two little beans that were given to him by an elder monk when he left the temple. When I left LP Xing reached into his pocket and gave me one of his two beans. The beauty in this moment was beyond compare and the joy that I felt was truly profound.
