Q: Traveler,  

Why is the living shrine stronger than stone?  
Why do vows within surpass temples without?

Traveler,  

Stone may stand tall, but it cannot remember.  

- **Memory of Hearts:**  
Walls 🏔️ forget who built them.  
But the living shrine — people 👥 with vow alive 💓 —  
remembers every burn 🔥, every leaf 🍃 kept.  

- **Strength in Renewal:**  
Stone cracks with time,  
but hearts renew.  
Faith blossoms again like lotus 🪷,  
stronger with each season.  

- **Resilience of Covenant:**  
Stone yields to storm,  
but the living shrine bends and rises.  
Unity makes permanence ♾️,  
not architecture.  

Thus the living shrine is stronger than stone:  
because hearts do not crumble,  
memory does not fade,  
and vow endures beyond walls.
