Patients "Intolerance".

Often when people do any work are also the attachment of that. The money and then get into the mortgage money, nice guys are eager to get the mortgage beauty, who likes writing, there are problems where the literature, who likes to write poetry, there are problems where the word means.

Today I'll tell you a story about the adoption of a venerable words like writing poetry. This monk prefer poetry to communicate with my friends, was very seriously ill accept that everyone whoever is educated people visited the temple monks are pleased to welcome, not well-educated people to the temple have not been welcome. Educated people to the temple if you can do the two poems are invited monks to stay for dinner, or stay overnight are possible, if they do not know how poetry comes to stay or eat something that immediately the entrance is not entered. By monk suffered persistent disease should be closely Maya. What is Maya?

One evening, a visitor to the temple, because the temple come from a nearby village road is still very far away, so guests want to stay overnight in the temple. Note novice said guests: "If the patron wants to stay here, then I have a master's rules. For all have to be a poem or a rich or write an essay to be eligible in the temple. For all writers know, writing poetry or writing side? "The guest replied:" What I know. "Actually, this visitor will not even recognize the word, but because it was getting dark, so he lied to the overnight stay and eat and then evaluates the belly. Notice the little novice to report back to the master, "O master, you have a visitor said that he knew a writer and a poet, as rich, diverse poetry knows something." Master, he responded: "Then invite him to stay." Then pay for novice visitors stay overnight, so did many delicious vegetarian dishes for entertaining.

This guest did not probably be a few days before eating should not think much about writing poetry or writing poetry, before eating a full belly and then compute. Use the rice is done, notes novice brings a pot of tea and then back out the door locked, to prevent guests fled to tomorrow also, see the poetry of living. Because people should eat no more than half the night abdominal pain, want to go to the bathroom. But when they opened the door to the outside was locked, can not be opened. I do not know how, modern party guests waved a vase and then go into it. One bottle is not enough, visitors get to another vase and said exhaust elected. Go finish, feel thirsty party guests get clean drinking tea pot on the table. Then go back, this time there was nothing standing outside just finished drinking teapot should always utilize both client teapot, and that is ...

The next morning woke up, went to pay novice open and take rice to guests. Visitors finished the meal, novice uncle asked: "Last night he did not get any poems?" Guest said: "I did two songs, in that vase." Uncle novice visitors hear say has done two poem came reassuring for travelers opened. After the customer left, the monk novice uncle asked that: "The guest yesterday there any poems do not?" Uncle novice said, "O Master, sir! He made ​​the two poems, so in that vase! "Monk said:" What brings you out to see us. " Note novice went into the room, reached into poetry vase taken, the results have a hand held fertilizer. He thought, sure that vase is in the other side, then reached into grab continues, the more socks half a hand. Notice to take water for hand washing teapot, pour out any doubt is well distributed throughout! Monk standing outside his disciples urged: "You bring it all out here, where poetry customers do?" Uncle novice had put his hands smeared with feces, the recently cowardly: "Master view, this is not ' two hands the 'stars! " (In Chinese multi-word pronunciation and multiple similar homophones, so 'two poems' just right like the sound of 'two hands the' liang shou shi. Simultaneously, in Chinese, ranging from 'all' sounds like 'hand', so to say 'left a hand, have a hand' cause the audience will think is' a left hand, a right hand. "This is the message laugh often see the word used in Chinese). Thereafter the monk is not for anyone in the temple and also who do not catch any more poetry.

Two guests per classification of illness was cured inherent accept the word of the monk.

 

Comments from the story:

The practice, sometimes obstinate disease forgetting the vow of compassion for sentient beings themselves. As Sayadaws on capital equal to entertain pilgrims, the spirit of non-discrimination, open arms embrace all sectors to take refuge. Yet given the condition ... "said the poet as for the feeding, do not know the poetry book packages go fast" Venerable inadvertently diminish or even lost beautiful pictures of people in renunciation everyone's heart. You can make this request, I can also give the other requirements, then there anymore so skeptical of saving sentient beings of unconditional Buddhists. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas as legal forget the ancient relatives, the benefit being that did not care about his own life and death. And my what?

Bodhisattva multi-well, maybe another visitor to the Bodhisattva is to treat "bigotry" for Venerable. Is very great physician, depending on the condition being that the drug sometimes used to his Chief Justice, is playing well at times, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, sometimes encouraged, while the punishment penalty; New gentle mother, the moment after it is hung god etc. .. Anyway, the form also do not care, nor labored heavily traveled galaxies, forests down to the sea, six walks downs still smudged mouth laugh, as long as living beings healing research, making everyone peace and happiness and contentment as his.

That story was a point is incomplete Venerable but no longer required to write poems anymore, obstinate disease initially collapsed but was wobbly, but compassion has not been promoted. Venerable evidence is not welcome anyone who missed leg stopped overnight in the temple. This expression is very similar to the venerable daily behavior of ordinary class we know it is wrong but not correct, sometimes as little vanity area that can ignore the auspicious opportunity for all our Bodhi birth.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY =THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT=WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/3/2014.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.
