Orange Silk Robe

Buddhists monk Dressed in orange silk robe Sitting in the city’s square Burning incense and chanting prayers After seven day of fasting, He sprinkles gasoline over his entire body Then, lighting a match, Becoming this human touch, Bringing light to this world

Buddhists have a passion for nature and the Burning incense and chanting prayers line was quite nice...
