Paraphrasing and Summarising

The text

The monks at the Hong Hock See temple in Gerogetown on Penang Island have had to learn to live with nature. Some years ago they shared their temple compound with a cobra. The chife monk, the Venerable Boon Keng, told the BBC that they'd become used to meditating alongside the snake but eventually decided to catch it and take it away to a nearby forest.

Now, he says, the cobra's place has been taken by a colony of fire ants, but the ants are droppong down from the tample's sacred bodhi tree onto people meditating below-and when they bite they cause painful swelling. The Venerable Boon Keng practices what he calls 'letting go' meditation - so he 'lets go' of the pain - but out of consideration for worshippers less far along the path to enlightenment the monks are looking for ways to persuade the ants to go.

An attempt to remove them using a vacuum cleaner failed - so the Buddhist community is appealing for help. They can't encourage anyone to harm the ants, but the chief monk says that if someone turns up unbidden and deals with them without the monks' involvement then that's the will of the universe. The monks will simply offer prayers for the ants' well-being.

The paraphrase
The temple in Georgetown on Penang Island recently has serious issue during their meditation. In the begining, the cobra occupied the temple and caused the chief monk to solve the problem desperately. Because of their belief, they let the cobra go. Then the fire ants took over the temple, and the swollens their bites caused painful swelling . Threfore, the monks think of using the vacuum cleaner, unfortunately, it failed. Altogether, they hope people can provide good suggestions to deal with this task.

The summarising

A group of Buddhist monks in Malaysia is appealing for help, because they get problem with ants. Buddhism forbids devotees to get harm from any living creature, so the monks are looking for a non-violent solution.
