Once upon a time , there was a saint . In his final years, someone asked him about teachers from whom he had learned all wisdom, so the saint told him three stories:
One day, I visited a village. It was late and no one was outside. At last, I saw a man who was trying to make a hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied that I could stay with him if I didn’t mind staying with a thief. I stayed with him for a month. Every night, he would go out to “work.” Mary times, he would come back with nothing. However, He never lost hope and said, “Tomorrow I will try again.” In the past years, there were many moments when I became so hopeless that I just wanted to give up what I was doing. And then suddenly, I would recollect the words of the thief.
There was another day when I was walking along the bank of a river. I saw a dog who was very thirsty and wanted to drink water from the river. However, he was afraid of his own image reflected in the water. He looked into the river, barked and then ran away. He did this several times. Finally, he managed to take a drink from the river despite his fears.
I met a little boy the other day in a small town. He was carrying a lighted candle with him. I
asked him , “Did you light the candle by yourself?” He said yes. I asked him again, “Then can you tell me where the light came from?” The boy laughed. He blew out the candle and asked me, “You see, I just put out the candle. Could you tell me where the light has gone?” I couldn’t answer and he told me, “It has returned to where it came from. “Since then, I have dropped all conceit(自责).
I have had no teachers, but it doesn’t mean that I have nowhere to learn the wisdom of life.
