Sun makes the noodle stir-fry carefully "Watch, I'll show you how" she goes through each step of making the dish with Mary, making sure she is attentive like a teacher. Sun smirks at Mary as she watches "You are a very pleasant spirit to be around, always chipper." she compliments with a smile
Mary saw silently every single step for the preparation of the noodles without interruption like a student and maintaining that eager smile like if one day she could do that herself. Sometimes she looked the preparation, sometimes she looked Sun.
Sun finishes making the noodle stir-fry, the meal is well prepared with carrots, onions, peppers and mangetout. She pours it out onto two plates, taking them over to a dining room. Sun sits on the floor of the dining room, there are no chairs in this Buddhist temple. She puts both plates down on the table then does a bow, looking over to Mary.
Expecting that, Mary immediately took her place and her dish sitting down on the floor with the same pose of Sun after bowed back at her, maintaining her happy humor. Before eating she was waiting that Sun would commence to do that, continuing to look at her.
Sun eats in a dainty ladylike fashion, she only speaks when her mouth is not full "I hope it is to your satisfaction child." she says with a pleasant serene smile. Sun looks around the dining room at the other monks "We only eat what we need here, a healthy body is a healthy mind after all."
It wasn't understandable if Mary was listening her or not. After she started to eat, she seemed like concentrated to experience all the flavours of the food, even closing her eyes if necessary. The flavour of a good healthy dish was one of the favourite ones of Mary since remembers the purity of the nature. Her excitement was decreasing until to reach a more calmed attitude perceivable with a long relaxed sigh after she tasted (and ate some other piece) the dish. <<I know it… and this is so healthy and tasty.>>.
Sun smiles back at her occasionally looking about the temple, she continues to eat her meal speaking up briefly "We aim to make meals that use all the senses, give us fulfilment in the body and the mind. I think it works, although I am partial to the simple things in life." she comments with a smile "give food to others, give protection to them and give teachings as much as we can. It is all in the name of reaching that zenith of prosperity in enlightenment" Sun says
Finishing the dish calmly, Mary responded: <<We're not good. We're not nice. We're not sweet. We're not gentle. We might be infant but we're just humans. All what you do is what a normal human should do. It's within his DNA. We help our similar ones, we're living beings...>>.
Sun listens to Mary, she does a agreeing nod to her as Sun finishes her dish "We each try our best to be our own best self, and that is all one can do in the chaotic universe we find ourselves in." Sun says calmly "Well, you have sampled my art, my tea and my food, is there anything else you wish to see within the temple?" she asks in a friendly manner.
