I spent the day in the company of the delightful Mr Sokha, who took me around the Angkor Little Circuit in his tuktuk number 7.
Between temple visits, we discussed myths and history (aka stories and documents) and aspects of the dhamma with whatever words our shared understanding would allow.
And just like that Saturday afternoon in Sahagun, where the Spanish priest unlocked some of the mysteries of the Crucifixion story for me by explaining it in his basic English, so aspects of the Theravada teachings are a little clearer to me after today.

“You must learn one thing:
the world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.”
