One
day, there were two monks walking home from their journey. One of
them is older and he was the senior monk. During their journey to
back to their temple, they came across a big river. On
the river side there was a woman who also wanted to cross the river.
The woman was scared to cross the river. So the older monk carried
her on his back and started to cross the river. The younger monk
follow them from behind.
When they reached the other
side of the river, the older monk put the woman down and continued their
journey. They still have 1 more hours journey before they reached
the temple. During the journey, the younger monk keep thinking that
the older monk has already broken the rules. According to the
rules as a monk that time, a monk is prohibited to involved
with woman in any ways. In his mind , the younger monk thought about
the rules all the time And he was more and more believe that his
senior has broken this rule. So, during the 1 hour
journey, the younger monk keep complaining that his senior has already
broken the rule. And finally the elder smile and said
to his junior " my friend, I have already left her on the river
side 1 hour ago. And you have been carrying "her" for
the last hour.
Once
upon a time, there was a wise man. He have done many good deeds
in his life. So, one night in his sleep, an angel come and invited
him to visit Heaven. At first, he was surprised and astonished.
Finally he agree to the offer. When they got There, the angel showed
up him around and explained many things to the wiseman. While
walking around, the wise man saw a lot of gift boxes neatly tied with golden
and other colors ribbon in the corner. He asked the angel about the
gifts. The angel replied " oh, those are the presents for the
people who do not seriously pray and keep changing their pray
for other present." And The angel sighed and said "So, we have to
carried the presents back all the time, because they never reached the
prayer"
