BURDEN

[Guest guest]

Hari-Om

 

Lord Buddha once narrated the following story :

 

A man on a long journey confronts a vast length of water in front of

him. He looks around and finds no bridge or boat in sight but crossing

the expanse of water, he must. He constructs a raft using branches and

twigs and grass to cross to the other side. Once he gets to the other

side, he thinks, " the raft was very useful " . Now should he carry it

with him on his back for further use or leave it on higher, dry ground

for others to use. Leaving it is a service to others but carrying it

with him everywhere is a burden. This is Dharma.

Do not carry unnecessary burdens on your back or on your mind. Wisdom

prevails.
