One day a young Buddhist on his
journey home, came to the banks of a wide river. Staring hopelessly at the
great obstacle in front of him, he pondered for hours on just how to cross such
a wide barrier. Just as he was about to give up his pursuit to continue his
journey he saw a great teacher on the other side of the river. The young
Buddhist yells over to the teacher, "Oh wise one, can you tell me how to
get to the other side of this river"?
The teacher ponders for a moment
looks up and down the river and yells back, "My son, you are on the other
side".
Learning:
What we accept readily we call it
as “Good”! What we do not accept we call it as “Bad”!
So the basis for Good or Bad is
acceptance that is within you! Good is made out of your acceptance and Bad is
made out of otherwise!! If you learn to see as is, You see truth in what you
are seeing !!
This is what “seeing” means by
Buddha “without any judgment or prejudice”! This is also called third eye
vision! And arises out of deeper silence within you!! Therefore, Good or Bad is
what we believe & judge. Good or Bad
is defined by our own acceptance levels.
