A Zen Story - Found This Worthy To Read by emmyskies(m): 10:37pm On Mar 14, 2020 |
One day one person climbed up a mountain where a hermit woman was meditating. She had taken refuge and was asked: - “What are you doing here alone in such a solitude place?” To which she replied: - “I have lots of work !” - “And how can you have so much work? I don't see anything around you here...?” - “I have to train two hawks and two eagles, assure two rabbits, discipline one snake, motivate a donkey and tame a lion.....” - “And, where have they gone that I don't see them?” - “I have them all inside here within me...!! ✓ The hawks stare on everything that is presented to me, good or bad, I have to work on them to see only good things. They are my eyes. ✓ The two eagles with their claws hurt and destroy, I have to train them not to hurt. They are my hands. ✓ Rabbits want to go where they want, at the same time they do not want to face difficult situations, I have to teach them to be calm even if there is suffering or stumbling. They are my feet. ✓ The donkey is always tired, stubborn and does not want to carry the load each time I walk. That is my body! ✓ The most difficult to tame is the "snake." Although it is locked in a strong cage with 32 bars, it is always ready to sting, bite and poison anyone nearby. I have to discipline it... that's my tongue. ✓ I also have one Lion. Oh ... how proud, vain, he thinks that "he is the king." I have to tame him. And that's my ego. So you see, my friend, I have lots of work..... “ Think & Reflect ! � We all may have the same — Lots to work on ourselves ! So Stop Criticising, Evaluating n Judging others ! Let’s First work on ourselves !! |
