A brother pushes his reluctant sister toward enlightenment.

The hole bored through this pillar in Todaiji temple is said to be the same size as the nostril of the statue of the Great Buddha found under the same roof. It is said that anybody who can pass from one side to the other through the hole is guaranteed certain enlightenment.

With my hips, obviously I wasn't intended to reach enlightenment this life time!
