OLD MONK
Have you forgotten your promise?
She smiles an embarrassed smile.
It was your wish to sponsor a community center for my guru.
Wasn't it?
Still smiling, the woman nods.
All of you are so self absorbed.
Maitreya takes a seat beside the old guru, on a stool that is lower than his senior's.
OLD MONK (CONT'D)
You have forgotten your duties. That's why I am reminding you of your promises of sponsorships and processions with great pomp.
LADY (O.S.)
(In Hindi; Subtitled)
I will be a committed devotee once my son gets married.
MAITREYA
(In Hindi, to the old guru)
Shall we start?
OLD MONK
Yes... yes.
(to the lady)
Even Mr. Mahesh wishes to contribute.
(to Maitreya)
Feel free to start!
Maitreya clears his throat. A percussive clang rings out.
MAITREYA
(chanting in Prakrit; Subtitled)
There are no celestial beings I know of.
There is neither deity, nor god.
Neither heaven, nor hell.
Neither a preserver, nor an owner of this universe.
The chant now swells with the voices of the other monks.
