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?"
