Tanah Lot Temple and the Sacred Rice Blessings

I remember seeing Tanah Lot Temple for the first time. It was a decade ago.

I remember posing for photographs in front of Tanah Lot Temple with four of my then classmates, now best friends. I remember being blessed by a monk on my feet with paddy rice. I remember talking on the phone, trying to explain its beauty to my then-friend, now ex. It was during sunset when I made a wish to come here next time with the person I love, just the two of us, so that we could admire it together.

I met Tanah Lot Temple again. This time, the seawater connected us, and this time, I brought that special someone. Someone I love. We were hand in hand when I introduced him to Tanah Lot Temple.

I tried to explain more about Tanah Lot Temple. Tanah Lot Temple is majestic. The view of Tanah Lot Temple lying before us was, and still is, breathtaking. My words were and still are worth nothing to describe Tanah Lot Temple’s beauty. But Fafa agreed. It was magnificent, he said.

Tanah Lot Temple is a temple where prayers and wishes are answered. Thank you, Tanah Lot Temple, for granting the prayer that I whispered in silence. It turned out to be my best wish ever.

Till we meet again.
