A Zen student came to Bankei and
complained: "Master, I have an ungovernable temper. How can I cure
it?" "You have something very strange," replied Bankei.
"Let me see what you have." "Just now I cannot show it to you"
replied the other. "When can you show it to me?" asked Bankei
"It arises unexpectedly," replied the student. "Then,"
concluded Bankei, "it must not be your own true nature. If it were, you
could show it to me any time. When you were born, you did not have it, and your
parents did not give it to you. Think that over."
Stories that will stop you for a while from your busy , restless schedule and help you feel and realize all the tiniest of beauties and deepest of emotions surrounding you and let you relish yourself...
