Ritual Cat

[Guest guest]

Just for fun ... and food for thought, the next time we follow

without understanding the true motives.

 

Found this on the web. My thanks to the unknown author

When the spiritual teacher and his disciples began their evening

meditation, the cat who lived in the monastery made such noise that

it distracted them. So the teacher ordered that the cat be tied up

during the evening practice. Years later, when the teacher died, the

cat continued to be tied up during the meditation session. And when

the cat eventually died, another cat was brought to the monastery and

tied up. Centuries later, learned descendants of the spiritual

teacher wrote scholarly treatises about the religious significance of

tying up a cat for meditation practice.
