Master Suldoo said, “A guest came to see me from far away and gave me a bead with a one-inch diameter, which has four words in the centre of it. There is no one who can read them.”
Student: “What words are there in the bead?”
Master: “Why don’t you read them in person?”
Student: “Show me the bead first of all so that I may read them.”
Master: “Come again tomorrow and I will show it to you.”
Commentary:
The worst error we make is to struggle to gain what doesn’t exist, ignoring what is before our eyes.
