Monks believe that this work of art had been covered over so it could survive these difficult yearsof invasions and so on. And the suffering in this is very specific. It's not that we have covering, having an ego is just part of being human. It's that we forget who we are and get identified with the covering.

As long as they're playing, it means that we haven't shine the light of awareness on them sufficiently for them to dissolve.
