The Real Problem

Centuries ago, in South Korea, there lived a wise respected monk named Cing Si. He had many followers. One night, he brought in a woman into his room, and closed the door immediately. For several days, neither he nor the woman went out of the room, it seemed as if the two were enjoying themselves inside.

One of his disciple, Mau Khong feared this matter to be known by other students, so he guarded outside his master's room. Whenever somebody was looking for the teacher, he would say that he is meditating or is having rest. Nevertheless, inside his heart, he knew that it was not good to keep this going on. So he gathered his courage and come before his teacher.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a lady with silky black long hair with very splendid body lying on his master's bed, meanwhile the master, behind her, messaged her back.

The young disciple was very furious. He could not hold his anger for no longer, and he shouted at his master, "Master! How can you ever be our spiritual teacher if you even do such thing?" Cing Si monk did not get angry at all.

With his soft calm voice, he asked Mau Khong to look at the lady's condition more carefully. He found out that the woman had no ears and her lips were not straight as normal person's.

The teacher was intending to message the woman to improve her blood's flow circulation. And the teacher was using some kind of herbal remedy to cure her.

Mau Khong kneeled at that instant moment with deep regret. "Master! What you see, we do not see, what you can do, we can not do. I was too naive, as for this misunderstanding."

Do not conclude what is right and wrong from the idea that "I heard and saw this with my own eyes and ears!". It might be true as one of many aspects of the reality.
Drawing the conclusion from a piece of puzzle that was found may lead to further disaster, as it might not fit the big puzzle at the end. What is seen by eyes may not be right, what is heard by ears might also not be real.

WeR1Family,

Loved it ...

The main lesson I learned from it?

I could never be a wise respected monk

You write:

he saw a lady with silky black long hair with very splendid body lying on his master's bed,

I read it ...

Um, Nup. Spiritual Master is not my vocation ... regardless of a woman's disabilities ... If a woman had silky black hair and a splendid body and was lying on my bed, I would not be messaging her ...

unless it was in a

liminal* [lymphnal? ...

sub

way ...

(and not in an American fast-food franchise Way*

Sub ...

either ...

Subway is the food you eat when you can't afford to fly ...

David ...

And yep, rash judgement is the real problem ... I agree ...
