The Buddha And The Monks

One day the Buddha was sitting in the wood with thirty or forty monks. They had an excellent lunch and they were enjoying the company of each other. There was a farmer passing by and the farmer was very unhappy. He asked the Buddha and the monks whether they had seen his cows passing by. The Buddha said they had not seen any cows passing by. The farmer said, "Monks, I'm so unhappy. I have twelve cows and I don't know why they all ran away. I have also a few acres of a sesame seed plantation and the insects have eaten up everything.

 I suffer so much I think I am going to kill myself. The Buddha said, "My friend, we have not seen any cows passing by here. You might like to look for them in the other direction." So the farmer thanked him and ran away, and the Buddha turned to his monks and said, "My dear friends, you are the happiest people in the world. You don't have any cows to lose. If you have too many cows to take care of, you will be very busy.
"That is why, in order to be happy, you have to learn the art of cow releasing (laughter). You release the cows one by one. In the beginning you thought that those cows were essential to your happiness, and you tried to get more and more cows. But now you realize that cows are not really conditions for your happiness; they constitute an obstacle for your happiness.

continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.

in handling as any other fragile and precious thing.

The Chocolate World

Once there were two children named Jimmy and Julie. They were very angry because they love chocolates but their mother did not allow them to eat chocolates but allowed them to watch cartoon programmes. So they watch the favorite show Choc-the wish dragon. In that they will be a princess and choc the wish dragon. The princes says any wish she wants then the dragon makes it true. She told some mantras: choco-choc-choco-choc. So the children also told the mantras (but they didn't think it is true but tried) and then really they got a surprise that the dragon came inside their house through the window and asked "What is your wish?" Then, the children told, that: "Can you take us to the Chocolate World???". The dragon told: "Sure children but listen to me carefully, you have to keep the mirror under your bed which i am going to give now. Then step inside it, you may see me, in that time i may tell you something about chocolate world.. There you enjoy your trip to the chocolate world children!!!!!!". Then they did as the dragon told them. In the night they went inside the mirror and saw the dragon. The dragon went together with them and then he became so sad in the middle. Then Jimmy asked "Why are you so sad??" Then the dragon told that: Its going to chocain (rain) and its already chondering (thundering). So we better wear our chocaincoats (raincoats). Then Julie asked: " Can we drink the chocain?" Then the dragon replied " Yes of course the chocolate is made up of this pure chocain". The Jimmy and Julie was so happy. They drank the chocain.Then ice cream and cookies for dinner along with hot chocolate. Then they slept in choc's house and then next day morning they went home just when mom came to wake them up. She saw they were already ready and gave each of them one chocolate. Then the children never told their mom about the chocolate world.

You too would keep it a secret. wouldn't you?

Mother

Mothers are very important; as we should respect them. They always help us in whatever time we need. They are always before us whenever their children or anyone in the family are sick. She makes delicious food for us. She works very hard for the family. She won’t go for office but works for children for their future. They even try us to comfort in all ways. They show concern for every bit of a child. Because of them we are in the world. They always try to keep their happy in all time. They keep the house clean for defeating the diseases which reach us. So this why mothers are important to us

The Dreamy Milk-Maid

A milk-maid had been to the meadow to milk her cows. Now she was returning home with a pail of milk on her head.

She thought, "I will make cream and butter out of this milk. Then selling them, I will buy eggs. and when they hatch, I shall have a good poultry farm."

She further thought, "I shall sell some of my fowls and buy a fine dress. Seeing it on my body at the fair, all the boys will admire me.But I will turn them away just tossing my head at them."

Lost in day dreams, she forgot about the pail on her head. She tossed her head with a jerk and the pail of milk came tumbling down. it was broken and all the milk got spilt.

"Dear O dear !" she cried, "I have lost my all."

The 3 Dolls


A sage presented a prince with a set of three small dolls. The prince was not amused. 
"Am I a girl that you give me dolls?" he asked. 
"This is a gift for a future king," said the man. "If you look carefully, you'll see a hole in the ear of each doll."
"So?"
The sage handed him a piece of string.
"Pass it through each doll," he said.
Intrigued, the prince picked up the first doll and put the string into the ear.
It came out from the other ear.
"This is one type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, comes out from the other ear. He doesn't retain anything."
The prince put the string into the second doll. It came out from the mouth.
"This is the second type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, he tells everybody else."
The prince picked up the third doll and repeated the process. The string did not reappear from anywhere else.

"This is the third type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him is locked up within him. It never comes out."
"What is the best type of person?" asked the prince.
The man handed him a fourth doll, in answer.
When the prince put the string into the doll, it came out from the other ear.
"Do it again," said the sage. The prince repeated the process. This time the string came out from the mouth. When he put the string in a third time, it did not come out at all.
"This is the best type of person," said the sage. "To be trustworthy, a man must know when not to listen, when to remain silent and when to speak out."
