A ZEN STORY … THAT WILL INSPIRE YOU !
There is a Zen story about a poor man walking through the woods
reflecting upon his many troubles. He stopped to rest against a tree,
a magical tree that would instantly grant the wishes of anyone who
came in contact with it
He realized he was thirsty and wished for a drink. Instantly a cup of cool water was in his hand. Shocked, he looked at the water, he decided it was safe and drank it.
He then realized he was hungry and wished he had something to eat. A meal appeared before him.
“My wishes are being granted,” he thought in disbelief. “Well, then I wish for a beautiful home of my own,” he said out loud.
The home appeared in the meadow before him. A huge smile
crossed his face as he wished for servants to take care of the house.
When they appeared he realized he had somehow been blessed with an
incredible power and he wished for a beautiful, loving, intelligent
woman to share his good fortune.
“Wait a minute, this is ridiculous,”said the man to the woman. “I’m not this lucky. This can’t happen to me
As he spoke…everything disappeared. He shook his head and said,
“I knew it,” then walked away thinking about his many troubles.
There is a great truth hidden behind this simple Zen story. Our mind
is like this magical tree.
“Whatever the mind conceives and believes, it achieves.”
If You cast your self as the victim in your play of life, you will always be a bit player.
