Patch Parables 5 - The Parable of the 84th Problem

[graphx311]

Reminds me of this story:

“A hundred and fifty years ago there lived a woman named Sono, whose devotion and purity of heart were respected far and wide. One day a fellow Buddhist, having made a long trip to see her, asked, ‘What can I do to put my heart at rest?’

[graphx311]

@graphx311

She said, ‘Every morning and every evening, and whenever anything happens to you, keep on saying, “Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever.”’

The man did as he was instructed, for a whole year, but his heart was still not at peace. He returned to Sono, crestfallen. ‘I’ve said your prayer over and over, and yet nothing in my life has changed; I’m still the same selfish person as before. What should I do now?’

[graphx311]

@graphx311 Sono immediately said, ‘Thanks for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever.’ On hearing these words, the man was able to open his spiritual eye, and returned home with great joy.”

I feel like these videos are more preachy then looking at them from the point of look at this and decide.

[TheSpiritScience]

@TheOfficialWG I feel that to explain buddhist parables, they need to be taught in this way. At the same time, i encourage you (and everyone) to take what resonates and leave the rest behind. It is what it is ^_^

[bringmemike]

@thetwentyforth Actually I was saying that to be ironic. I don't even like that song but I just couldn't resist to write that.

[WaddapLucy]

[thetwentyfourth]

@bringmemike Something tells me that song is a little incongruous with the positive message of the video..

[Makeiri]

[gregconquest]

@HerbTheSerb1 I was going to say: In other words: I got 83 problems and bitchin' ain't one of them ;-)

Bitchin' is the 84th problem.

[neohelena]

@HerbTheSerb1 did u count them?

[neepokra]

This one made me and my co-workers laugh, I love it

[cssaddict17]

You should tread more carefully about what you say in these videos. You wouldn't want to be giving out misinformation.....

A lot of the deep abstract truths in philosophy do not apply to our environment because of the free will of others imposing on ours.

[BrechPro]

Hooray! I love these, they teach me so much!
