A senior monk and a junior monk saw a lady who scare of water so unable to cross the river. The senior monk offered to carry her cross it. After it done, the junior monk is wondering why he as a enlightened Buddhist breach the principle of no physical contact between monk and female. He kept brooding over it for days and at last he confronted his senior about it. The senior simply told him, I have already let go of her few days ago and yet, why are you still carrying her in your heart.
The story here is people carry hate, jealousy, anger etc all the negative feeling in their heart for way too long and unable to let go of it. What the senior monk did is an action but the junior monk carry it forever in his heart.
How many of you here can truly let go of hate, anger etc from your heart?
