on january 29th, the first day of the chinese year, grandma took me to the yade buddha temple to pray for being able to have a lucky year.

　　the whole city was dipped in warm light, when we arrived. god! i hardly made out this temple because the whole block was filled with people. we could move our feet just a little at a time. now you may have the idea how many people there were. but it was amazing that the crowd was so quiet. worshippers, one by one, seriously knelt down before the statue of the buddha. i thought that i hadn’t done anything as earnestly as them when i saw those worshippers praying so devoutly. everyone kept quiet, closed his eyes. i seemed like that there was only him in this world. i was shocked. from them, i felt the strength of belief. i learnt that not only the belief of the buddhism, but also the beliefs of all the beautiful things can enable us to be successful. once we get our belief, the eternal spirit shall help us overcome all the difficulties we might meet with.

　　i raised my head and saw the buddha smiling to me so mystically.
