Parable about the monk

in monk •  8 years ago 

One soldier guarding the road, stopped the Buddhist monk. Drawing his sword, warrior asked sternly traveler:

  • Who are you? Where are going? And why did you go there?
    The monk thought for a few seconds, and then timidly asked:
  • May I ask you a question?
  • Ask - frowning, allowed a warrior.
  • How much do you pay a week?
  • Two baskets of rice.
  • I'll pay you four baskets of rice, if you promise every day to ask me these questions.
