Some women were sitting on the floor in a hall. They were not relaxing, but praying seriously. Unlike in Japan, it was common to pray while sitting here. Two of them were just putting their hands together while they were closing eyes in front of a Buddha statue.

To pray in the temples was a deep-rooted habit here. I wondered for what they were praying. Do they hope to get benefits gained in this world like me?
