Truly Inspiring ....

Today I had gone out to dine with a friend 0f mine whom i hadnt met for a long time. He's the type of guy who has a different outlook about life. While we were having dinner at a restaurant , he told me this little story which really set me thinking ....

There were two Buddhist monks who had to cross a river . Now there was a young girl who had to cross the river too , but was scared that the river might be too deep for her to manage. As in Buddhism , it was forbidden for the Buddhist monks to even touch a female . So the first monk just ignored the girl and waddled across the river. Now the second monk who was much kinder offered to carry the girl on his shoulders and safely crossed the river with her . Upon seeing this the first monk got enraged , but dint say anything to the second monk. After walking for about an hour the first monk finally let out his anger and said ...."You know it is forbidden in our religion to have any contact with the opposite sex , yet you carried that woman across your shoulders....?? "

Upon hearing this the second monk just smiled , and said " I had only carried and left her on the bank of the river , but it is you who is still carrying her in your mind.... "

And the moral of the story is.... Carry women on your backs, forget about them & you're a buddha.

Seems like many men have this concept perfected to a T...

Thus speaketh a back-carried, now forgotten women... hell hath no fury..
