The Little Monk and the Samurai: A Zen Parable

A big, tough samurai once went to see a little monk.

“Monk!”

He barked, in a voice accustomed to instant obedience.

“Teach me about heaven and hell!”

The monk looked up at the mighty warrior and replied with utter disdain,

“Teach you about heaven and hell? I couldn’t teach you about anything. You’re dumb. You’re dirty. You’re a disgrace, an embarrassment to the samurai class. Get out of my sight. I can’t stand you.”

The samurai got furious. He shook, red in the face, speechless with rage. He pulled out his sword, and prepared to slay the monk.
Looking straight into the samurai’s eyes, the monk said softly,

“That’s hell.”

The samurai froze, realizing the compassion of the monk who had risked his life to show him hell! He put down his sword and fell to his knees, filled with gratitude.
The monk said softly,

“And that’s heaven.”

How Spiritually Enlightened are you?
If....
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can be empathetic to other's plights, and never take anything personally,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can relax or have fun without the need for liquor,
If you can go through life without using drugs to numb your emotional pain,
If you can be present every moment, not suffering from anything from the past,
If you can be happy, despite whatever goes on around you,
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics,

--Then you have almost reached the same level of spiritual development as your dog!

Two friends meet for coffee to catch up: “How are you?” one asks. The other replies: “I’m fine, thanks, but I'm still unemployed.” First friend: “Have you tried Meditating?” “Meditating? What’s that?” “I don’t know, but it’s better than sitting around doing nothing!”

Suppose Love is real, and let's assume reality is unreal. Suppose we discover that the building block of reality is real Love, that means our assumption was wrong and reality is actually not unreal. Reality is real, if everything we supposed is true. I'm not going to say if it is or not.
