Day with a Difference - March 08, 2006

Today's Inspirational Quote:

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wildbeast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind. - Buddha

The Bandit

Buddha was once threatened with death by a bandit called Angulimal."Then be good enough to fulfill my dying wish," said Buddha. "Cut off thebranch of that tree."One slash of the sword, and it was done! "What now?" asked the bandit."Put it back again," said Buddha.The bandit laughed. "You must be crazy to think that anyone can do that.""On the contrary, it is you who are crazy to think that you are mightybecause you can wound and destroy. That is the task of children. The mightyknow how to create and heal."
