Entrance
The temple does not begin with walls.
It begins with a decision.
The two nails stand as silent guardians of the threshold. Between them stretches the checkered pavement—the ancient reminder that every human life is walked between opposing forces: joy and sorrow, truth and illusion, virtue and temptation.
No one is carried into the temple.
Each person crosses the threshold alone.
The journey toward light always begins with the courage to take the first step.
