Assignment #3- Sacred Poetry

"Moai"

Mo'ai, the 'Eastern Island Heads'

Standing still on the island Rapa Nui

Looking out to the sea

All the unique sizes and shapes

The satues are sacred stones

Protecting the island people

Symoble of our ancestors

Bringing happiness to the land

The building process is still mysterious

But a lot of efforts put in is known for sure

Moai will stand forever

Keeping peace for all

Modern Religious Experience: Modern Religious Experience: Reflection Question #...

Reflection Question #1

To be honest, religion wasn't and is still not really a major factor that influenced my life. I am atheist, but my family religion is Buddhism. My grandmother, parents, and close cousins go to Buddhist temple about twice a month.

Even thought I am atheist, there were many questions that i had about life, and the Buddhism religion gave me many answers. For an example, "Where do people go when they die?" This is a question every people would ask themselves. I first just believed that they were just gone. However, as I got older, I started to believe in Buddhism, and now I think people would reborn if they die. But I am still don't fully believe in any religion, and I hope I would find myself to believe in a religion as I get older.
