5 Elements Street Play

Narrator: Aadiv was a bright young boy but he had anger issues. So his mom was
looking for things that could tone down his tendency to get angry really fast. One
day while looking in the internet she stumbled upon a website…

Aahi(Aadiv’s mom): “What is this?”

Narrator: The website that Aahi had entered was actually a website where you can
sign up for spiritual activities that are conducted by monks.

Monk in the video of the website: Do you have any problem? Come to our camp!
We will solve it!

Aahi: “Wow this is amazing!” “Aadiv’s summer holidays are right around the
corner and this camp is just what I wanted”.

Narrator: Aahi was really happy and she immediately signed up for the camp.
Aahi: “Aadiv!” “Come here!”

Aadiv: “WHAT DO YOU WANT MOM!?!”

Aahi: “I have signed you up for this camp that might help you with your anger
issues”

Aadiv: “MOM!!” “I don’t want to go to this camp!”

Aahi: “You have no choice”

Narrator: After a few days when Aadiv’s summer holidays started he

unenthusiactically went to the camp.
When he reached there he was surprised to see that there were more than 70
people who had come for this camp.

Monk: “Good morning to everyone” “Please follow me for the interview”

Aadiv: “Interview?”

Narrator: The monk called each person separately for their interview. After some
time it was Aadiv’s turn for the interview.

Monk: “Kindly take a seat” “What is your name?”

Aadiv: “Aadiv”

Monk: “I see..” “It’s such a unique name” “Why did you come to this camp?”

Aadiv: “Because my mom told me to”

Monk: *Laughs* “Very well” “Why did your mom send you here”

Aadiv: “Because apparently according to her I have anger issues” *promptly rolls
his eyes*

Narrator: “The monk asked a few more questions and then he told Aadiv…

Monk: “Aadiv your mindset is water”

Aadiv: “Water?” “What do you mean?”

Monk: “So basically there are 5 elements in nature. Water(sui), Fire(ka),

Earth(chi), Wind(fu) and Void(ku)” “These are together called the Godai” “Each
person has a mindset of one of these, and each mindset has its own advantages
and disadvantages”

Aadiv: “I see…”

Monk: “After talking with you I understood that your mindset is water” “In the
water mindset, when you feel anger rising within you, it is best to show yourself
patience. Don’t become frustrated, but rather calmly notice the thoughts and
emotions and let them go. In this way, mindfulness can gain clarity and depth.”

Aadiv: “Whoa!” “That is so deep”

Monk: “In these few days we will train you understand how to control your
emotions”

Narrator: After this Aadiv was thought how to control his emotions and after a
week he returned home

Aadiv: “I’m home mom”

Aahi: “Aadiv!” “Oh how much I have missed you!” *proceeds to hug Aadiv*

Aadiv: “Mom” “Chill, I was only gone for a week”

Narrator: Aahi noticed the significant difference in the way Aadiv speaks and in
his personality. She was really happy that this camp had worked.
