Exhausted and tired Ava fell in her bed. Her thoughts were rushing thinking about all the things she didn’t finish today.

It was pitch dark and she tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep.

Wondering what time it was and feeling guilty she grabbed her phone.

1:23 pm.

She was desperate and found herself googling ‘How can I find more time in my busy life?’.

A search result popped up: ‘If you want to find more time, visit Zen Master Sheng and he’ll give you what you are looking for.’

‘What a scam!’, she thought but still found herself opening maps to see how far this place was away. Only a 30-minute bike ride.

The next day Ava took her bike and rode towards the temple expecting a scam. She felt so drawn to this place she couldn't resist.

On the way there she passed through a bamboo forest. A monk was walking among the trees. He looked at her asking, ‘How can I help you?’

She asked, ’Master, how can I find more time in my hectic life? I’m running behind all the time. It feels like I’m drowning’
