Summary When you wlk into the quiet, dark Room of Quiet Contemplation, an image of endlessly circulating water and infinitely expanding space greets you. As you step slowly following the glimmer of the dim light and feeling a sense of the divine transcending time and space, you encounter the two pensive bodhisattvas lost in thought, crossing 1400 years of time, religions, and ideologies. With their mystical smiles, the two pensive beings seem to be gazing into a different world, expressing compassion for our suffering, or maybe they have discovered the secrets of the universe. As you face the two pensive bodhisattvas, you feel ripples of emotional healing and peacefulness pass through you.
