The Little Monk & The Samurai - A Zen Parable

This simple little tale reveals the root of our human suffering. How simple and humbling the truth becomes once we open our hearts and minds to see it. The decision to suffer is always our own. Self-awareness is our doorway to freedom.

Poignant . I shall remember the story the next time, my self-critic boldly screams at me, “You idiot.” that is hell.

I love this story. I heard it before, but heard it a little differently. Instead of "This is Hell/Heaven," I heard it said as "Here open the gates of Hell/Heaven." Thank you for sharing! And Namasté!

Very powerful, short Zen parable. So few words, yet so much in it. Thank you. Namaste.🙏🏻🧘‍♂️
