One evening, a storm broke. Thunder cracked the sky, and Chinthaka, who was afraid of lightning, ran to the pansala . He found Hamuduruwo sitting alone in the dim dharma hall , a single candle flickering before a statue of the Buddha. One evening, a storm broke

Without a word, the monk shifted aside and patted the mat next to him. Chinthaka sat down. Rain hammered the roof. The candle flame stood still.

The next morning, the sun rose golden over the tea fields. Hamuduruwo finally spoke, his voice soft as a breeze: "Child, the Buddha said: 'You yourself must walk the path, but others can show you the way.' You have walked here on your own. That is the first step."
