Should be giving thanks.
When Seysetsu was prior of the monastery Engaku in the Kamakura era (1192-1333), he needed a new school building, because there, where he taught, it was already too closely. A merchant from the Edo name Umedzu Seybey decided to donate for the construction of new school buildings, five gold coins, called the Rio, and brought their teacher.
- Okay, I'll take them - said Seysetsu. Filing a teacher a bag of gold, Umedzu remain dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude. All year round you can survive on three Rio, but is not grateful for the five.
- In the bag, five Rio - he hinted.
- You have said so - said Seysetsu.
- But even for such a rich merchant, like me, this is a lot of money - said Umedzu.
- You want me to thank you for them? - Asked Seysetsu.
- You must do so, - replied the merchant.
- Why? - Seysetsu surprised - thanks to giving!
Good and bad.
When Bankey shut for weeks with students of meditation, at this time to the students converge from all over Japan. Once at a meeting of one pupil was found in the theft. The case was reported Bankeyu with a request to expel the perpetrator. Bankey has not responded to the complaint.
Some time later, the student was caught again, but now Bankey and left it unattended. This outraged the other students. They made a petition, which asked to drive the thief and said that otherwise they are all like one, leave the monastery.
Having read the petition, Bankey convened all and said:
"You sound brothers monks. You know that well, and that - no. If you want, you can go and study somewhere else. But what can we do this unfortunate brother, who does not distinguish the good from the bad? Who else will teach Well, if not I? I intend to keep him here even if you leave everything. "
Tears flow filled the guilty person. A passion for thievery missing.
This miracle.
When Bankey preached at Ryumon temple, a priest of the Shinshu sect, who believe in salvation through the repetition of the Merciful Buddha envied the huge number of listeners Bankeya and decided to argue with that.
Bankey already read half of the sermon, which was this priest, and done with so much noise that it Bankey interrupted and asked what's wrong.
- The founder of the sect, - the priest began to boast, - had such wonderful force that when he stood on the bank of the river with a brush in his hand, he wrote the holy name of Amida in the paper that held his assistant at another bank. And you can do this miracle?
- Probably, you sly dog, and made this the focus - casually commented Bankey - but it is not customary in the Zen. I wonder - what if I feel hungry, I eat when I feel thirsty - drink.
World government.
Preparing we here once with Konstantin Puchov to our Novokodovskomu NLP practice, meditate on the concept of today's GLP and remember our creativity parable ...
A man once agreed to establish a world government on Earth. Well, in the sense, the local world of local government around the world. Why? First, that people could more easily collaborate on sub-national levels (ie, be friendly countries), and secondly, that in the event of contact with other civilizations, which he felt (or knew?) Is already nearing (or already happening?) All could be done much easier and organized.
And to think this, he shared his idea with other people. But no one wanted, to be exact - do not believe that this is necessary, and even more so, in fact, that there is a need to communicate with other civilizations. "Yeah," - say people - "do you still say that talking on the phone yesterday with aliens, the government of Atlantis and the creatures of other races from parallel worlds, and they have agreed to communicate only with the representatives of world government, but as long as it does not, will wait while our civilization reaches a mature age. " But man does not grudge against people remembered it perfectly, just as the people refused to believe that the earth round, and most recently - in fact, that it would be possible to talk to each other at a distance of 1,000 miles and carry a library in your pocket shirts. He just knew that people probably want to believe that the world is a part of themselves than that they are parts of the world, and if we agree and acknowledge that the world revolves around the axis, then only on condition that they have this very axis. Such is the psychology of the human ego.
And then the man decided to use classic marketing successful reception of all religions the 21 st century and create some neo-psychology, or ultra-religious, is designed to save humanity from the poor quality of life. And for the promise of increased motivation particularly advanced adepts super power, which something like a super eyes, ears super, super, and even the language of all the super anything. Well, and for their development to every adherent of a special mega special mantra for some of the coolest meta or modern neo-trance-meditation.
Reception was really zachotnym and it came crowds with lots of money and the sea initiative to do something. But as it turned out unfortunately, none of them in the verification is not suitable for the management of all humankind, and even more so for the contact with other civilizations on behalf of the race of people, because some just want the authorities to solve their personal problems, while others do not know what they want and would not know what.
And then people think. How to make it really came to those who can, wants, and most importantly - to whom it would be interesting to work in a world government, and interact with other civilizations? And then he decided to offer it to people like a joke, and told them all what they want as it seriously and see what will turn out. In any case, those who have no sense of humor, and those who want only what he wanted were not needed, and the rest if they do not come to work in a world government of Earth, although it would be just interesting people.
Thought, decided and done. ... And what was more - history is silent. But who will spread about the political decisions of this magnitude?
The most delicious candy.
Van Parents are not allowed to have a lot of candy, because he had a diathesis. And he, of course, loved them more than anything. Once he came to visit Igor uncle - the brother of his father, and the threshold of his eyes fell on the vase with candy.

Vanya again break all the vases, and candy for his uncle chose Igor.
- Hold! - He offered him candy sharing wholeheartedly.
- Now let's eat them enjoying each piece.
And Uncle Igor demonstratively began slowly expanding candy, as if looking at it has been very tasty, and then slowly and with pleasure превеликим nip it a bit and began to savor the language. The boy looked at his uncle Igor, and then turned on his candy with exactly the same pleasure.
Before proceeding to the next piece, Uncle Igor made a little pause, as if resting between pleasures, and said with a playful Van envy in his voice:
- Imagine what a delicious candy with you!
- Aha, - said the boy, making a pause.
- Can you get a little taste?
- Only a little bit - and the boy squeezed nail line on which you can nip.
Uncle Igor nip what could have been and zamychal with delight:
- Mmmmmm, you have really the most delicious candy!
- Can I try your bed? - Asked Vanya.
- Of course! - Igor and his uncle also permitted separate piece of line.
Vanya carefully rasproboval candy uncle Igor and concluded:
- My taste!
Ten minutes later, when they doeli candy, Uncle Igor pour a little tea to bust eaten candy, and once again defiantly enjoyed aftertaste. He repeated it.
- Maybe it was the most delicious of all the candy that I ate! - Uncle Igor said.
- No, the most delicious I have had! - He replied Vanya.
- This is for sure. Well, let us go into the room.
- And you can have one candy?
- Of course - said Igor uncle with a totally indifferent attitude.
- Do you take?
- No, thanks. Very tasty and delicious chocolate we eat with you, and unappetizing, I do not like sweets. - And he went into the room leaving the boy with a vase.
A few minutes later, Vanya is back, and in his hand he had a slightly nadkusannaya candy. For a while it looked like her, then turned to Uncle Igor:
- Can I will not doedat it?
- Of course you can, put it on the table next to the vase. - Said Igor uncle and a friendly smile.
After that incident Wani parents noticed that he began to have a much less sweet and was very legible in the candy.
