Kindred Spirits On A Spiritual Sabbatical

Two strangers, both alike in purpose,
In rural Thailand, where their sacred paths crossed,
From urban comforts to spartan living
Where tranquility and Buddhist simplicity clear the mind.
From strangers to soulmates on a spiritual quest
A pair of discontented hearts seek respite from a frenzied life in search of the Buddha's way;
Whose Noble Eightfold Path is a panacea for the restless mind
Along with the frugality of monastery life which banishes the heart's banal desires.
Their unshakeable determination to embrace Buddhist practices,
Evident by their long and arduous journey,
Greatly moved the Luang Phor, who personally imparted the Buddha's teachings to them.
