Simply let them be. Feelings seem real but are a dream caused by ego. Only peace, purity and honesty can secure one's mind. Like jade and gold hidden in the stones, we are wrapped in affliction. Wipe out the defilements of the passion and wisdom within can be exposed.
Visitors are Always Welcome at the monastery.
Consider Volunteering at the Chuang Yen monastery. Volunteer opportunities exists in many different areas, including grounds keeping, vegetarian cooking or teaching English. I can highly recommend it. Studying Buddhist Meditation is also an opportunity. Or just stop in for a delicious vegetarian lunch served daily buffet style in the dining hall from 12 noon till 1 p.m.
