Stories of Wisdom - December 2006

Precious Gift

December 1st 2006 14:20

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.

The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him.

She did so without hesitation.

The traveler left rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

"I've been thinking," he said.

"I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone."

Sometimes it's not the wealth you have but what's inside you that others need.

What a great LOVE and a great UN-ATTACHMENT! The woman must be living happy life ever after!
The more things that we are attached to, the more sufferings(hardships, pain, efforts) that we will gain 'before', 'during', and 'after'.

Another great story.

But was her generosity or unattachment something that the wise woman could give?

Wisdom, generosity, unattachment and others are not something that we can give to others even though we want to, but we can manifest them in real life so that we can influence others to realize wisdom, generosity, unattachment, etc by themselves and for themselves through their own experience.
