Nice and Meaningful Zen Stories. Towards to realization of your life

Nice and Meaningful Zen Stories. Towards to realization of your life 

Tanzan and Ekido were once travelling together down a muddy road. 

A heavy rain was still falling.

Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection. 

"Come on, girl," said Tanzan at once.

Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple.Then he no longer could restrain himself. "We monks don't do near females," he told Tanzan, "especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?" 

"I left the girl there," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?" 

About Three Person

About Three Person 

There are three types of people in the world.

What three?

1. One who is like carving on a rock,
2. one who is like scratching on the ground, 
3. one who is like writing on the water.

What sort of person is like carving on a rock?

Imagine a certain person who is always getting angry and his anger lasts long, just as carving on a rock is not soon worn off by wind, water or lapse of time.

What sort of person is like scratching on the ground?

Imagine a certain person who is always getting angry but his anger does not last long, just as scratching on the ground is soon worn off by the wind, water and lapse of time. 

And what sort of person is like writing on the water? Imagine a certain person who, even though spoken to harshly, sharply, roughly, is easily reconciled and becomes agreeable and friendly, just as writing on the water soon disappears. 

May the Triple gem bless you all...!!!
