話:
“The Monk and the Samurai”
There once was a samurai.
He traveled a long way to ask a monk a question.
When he arrived at a temple, he yelled
"Monk, tell me! What is the difference between heaven and hell?"
The monk looked at the Samurai and said,
“Are you a Samurai? You are hardly a man!”
“Whaaat?!”
The samurai became angry and reached for his sword.
“I’ll bet that you can’t even kill a fly with that sword.”
The monk kept insulting the Samurai.
The Samurai was so angry that he tried to kill the monk.
But when he was about to swing the sword,
the monk looked into the samurai’s eyes and said,
"That, my son, is the gate to hell."
Realizing that the monk had risked his life to teach this lesson,
the samurai slowly lowered his sword and put it back into the sheath.
He bowed low to the monk in thanks for this teaching.
"My friend," said the monk, "That is the gate to heaven."
