The Wise Old Man & The Precious Stone
A long time ago a wise old man came across a beautiful and very precious stone in a dried up river bed.
He pocketed the stone and continued his walk.
Later that day a robber approached the old man and demanded that he share any food that he may have.
Without hesitation the wise old man goes into his bag to offer his food. As soon as the highway robber catches a glimpse of the beautiful and highly precious stone he instantly demands the old man give him that instead.
Instantly and again without hesitation the wise old man gives the robber the beautiful precious stone with a smile.
Feeling very satisfied with himself the robber makes his way to the nearest city, dreaming of all the wonderful food he can buy, all the fancy clothes he will dress himself in and all the late night parties he will have.
Suddenly the robber realised the old man can give him more, so he turns and returns to where he met the old man.
As soon as the robber reaches the wise old man he gives the beautiful and precious stone back.
“I know the value of this beautiful stone” explained the robber “but I want more, I want the understanding and love you have within your heart to let go of this beautiful precious stone, without hesitation and all with a smile on your face. This gift is more precious than any beautiful stone and I wish to learn and become your student”

Moral of the Story:-
To hold a heart filled with love and without fear is humanities greatest achievement, however there are still so many of us wandering lost in a universe that feels harsh and cold. Learning and watching the process of our minds with meditation allows us to see the connectedness between thought and action, gradually over time our unwholesome thoughts and actions are dropped instantly the moment they are recognised and seen for what they truly are.
