Laughing Asana on Perspective

Here is today’s Laughing Asana found over at metta.org

One day a young student at the Buddhist monastery goes to meditate with two monks as part of his education, they go to the opposite side of the lake from the monastery and are about to start their morning meditation when the first monk says, “oh no I forgot my mat”, so walks up to the lake and walks calmly across the surface of the water to the monastery and returns with his mat. Suddenly the second monk says “oh no I’ve forgotten my sun hat” so he runs across the surface of the water to the monastery and returns with a straw hat. The student is astounded by this and at the end of the meditation he tries to walk across the water. He falls straight in and emerges soaking wet, the two monks look on and after watching his failed attempts for a while the first monk says to the second “do you think we should tell him where the stones are!”.

Have a wonderful day!

    I like this. Reminds me to be humble. We have to ask questions to learn.
