Story Time ZEN: Muddy Road

in story •  6 years ago 

Hello everyone, today I share another Zen reflection:


Source/Fuente

Two Buddhist monks walked together on a muddy road while it was raining heavily. When they came to a bend, they saw a beautiful girl in a silk kimono, who did not dare to cross a puddle. "Come on, girl," said one of the monks immediately and, lifting her in his arms, led her to the other side. The other monk remained silent until the night, when they arrived at a temple to stay. Then, he could no longer contain himself "Monks do not approach women, especially if they are young and beautiful, it's dangerous, why did you do that?" He said. "I left the girl there. You still bring her with you?" the other replied.

Sometimes in life we ​​will find circumstances that we do not like or make us feel uncomfortable and we will have to deal with them, something totally inevitable and normal. But after this is our decision whether to move forward with our lives or "carry the problems behind our backs".

Many times we even carry problems that are not ours, whether they are from a relative or a friend and that does not correspond to us. Of course, we can help solve someone else's problems if it is in our hands, but not carry them.

Your peace is something very valuable, have a good day/night

Hola a todos, el día de hoy les comparto otra reflexión Zen:

Dos monjes budistas andaban juntos por un camino embarrado mientras llovía intensamente. Al llegar a un recodo, vieron a una hermosa joven con kimono de seda, que no se animaba a cruzar un charco. "Vamos, niña" dijo inmediatamente uno de los monjes y, levantándola en brazos, la llevó del otro lado. El otro monje guardó silencio hasta la noche, cuando llegaron a un templo en que alojarse. Entonces, ya no se pudo contener "Los monjes no nos acercamos a las mujeres, sobre todo si son jóvenes y hermosas. Es peligroso. ¿Por qué has hecho eso?" dijo. "Yo he dejado allá a la muchacha ¿Tú todavía la traes contigo?" repuso el otro.

Algunas veces en la vida nos encontraremos con circunstancias que no nos gustan o nos hacen sentir incómodos y tendremos que lidiar con ellas, el algo totalmente inevitable y normal. Pero después de esto es nuestra decisión si seguir adelante con nuestras vidas o "cargar con los problemas a nuestras espaldas".

Muchas veces incluso cargamos con problemas que no son nuestros, ya sean de un familiar o un amigo y eso no nos corresponde. Claro, podemos ayudar a resolver los problemas de alguien mas si esta en nuestras manos, pero no cargar con ellos.

Tu paz es algo muy valioso, ten un buen día/noche
