I have heard about a great warrior in Japan, a samurai, a very famous swordsman: One night when he came tired after the whole day’s fight in the fields and he was just going to fall into bed, he saw a rat. And the rat was looking at him ferociously! The samurai tried to kill the rat with his sword. He was one of the best swordsmen known, but somehow he missed. He hit many times, he broke his...

Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline.
If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly. If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2. If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6. If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call. If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press. If...

A clouded dream on an earthly night Hangs upon the crescent moon A voiceless song in an ageless light Sings at the coming dawn Birds in flight are calling there where the heart moves the stones there that my heart is longing for Calling for, for the love of you A painting hangs on an ivy wall Nestled in the emerald moss The eyes declare a truce of trust then it draws me far away deep...

New Year's Traditions from around the globe
I don’t know if people from the countries mentioned here can confirm these traditions. I know that around here we do put on yellow underwear on NYE and I know from my grandma that they do eat 12 grapes at 00:00.
Spain: Stop whatever you’re doing at midnight and get out your grapes. In Spain, revelers eat 12 grapes, one for each chime of the clock. They bring good luck for the 12 months of...

The whole idea of Beetal’s tales is to break the king’s mental process. It’s like a zen koan :)
Exactly, it is not as simple as pretending no to be thinking, it’s an actual transformation that he must go through, and it is a very apparent one, cannot be faked :) Thanks for reminding me of those great tales!
:)) I am reading them again after so long time.

“Be loving, and remember that anything real is always changing. You have been given wrong notions that a true love remains forever. A true rose flower does not remain forever. A living being himself has to die one day. Existence is a constant change. But the notion, the idea that love should be permanent if it is true … and if love disappears one day, then the natural corollary is that it was...

Stories that I Love - The Lion's Roar
A lioness was pregnant and she jumped from one hillock to another hillock and gave birth to a kid, which fell on the ground in a crowd of sheep.
This small lion was brought up by the sheep, although he became a lion. Naturally he mixed with the sheep, lived with the sheep, behaved like a sheep. He had no idea, not even in his dreams, that he is a lion. How could he have? All around him were sheep...
