Me, My Guru - On life and death – III!

Having no choice, the student monk agreed. Next day, before leaving for bhiksha, he sat in meditation and commanded his mind to express only noble thoughts. Then becoming witness to his thoughts he started walking towards his area of seeking bhiksha. Having no thoughts to disturb him, he was blissful the entire day. He completed his bhiksha as instructed by the Great One and returned to the monastery. When Buddha asked him about his experience, he replied “The Great One! I was in bliss the whole day. No thoughts, nothing! It was bliss. Thank-you!”

Buddha smiled and replied “Just continue doing this and you’ll soon heal all your karma and be blessed with Enlightenment”.

This student too went and sat beside the student who had gone silent when Buddha declared his death”.

Our Guru looked at us as she waited for her tea. We sipped our tea in silence. We were processing the story. We were trying to fit it in our life.
