Thought/s for the Day

Post by **jingjai** » April 7, 2007, 6:37 pm

Since we have two popular joke threads active on the forum, how about something a little different to also read and post on daily. Here are my "inaugural" offerings, please add your own offerings.

A MONK TOLD HIS STUDENT "I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TWO TIGERS FIGHTING IN MY HEART."
"ONE TIGER IS FULL OF HATE AND ANGER. THE OTHER TIGER IS FULL OF LOVE AND COMPASSION"
THE STUDENT ASKED THE MONK: "WHICH TIGER WILL WIN?"
THE MONK REPLIED:"THE ONE I FEED."

"For one who has been honored,
Dishonor is worse than death."

What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul? What can man give in exchange of his soul?" (Matthew 16:26).
