O SAMURAI.

"Quando somos abandonados pelo mundo, a solidão é superável; quando somos abandonados por nós mesmos, a solidão é quase incurável."

Versículo: "O ódio excita contendas, mas o amor cobre todos os pecados." Provérbios 10:12

Bom dia! : )  Jesus

O SAMURAI.

Perto de Tóquio vivia um grande samurai, já idoso, que agora se dedicava a ensinar o zen aos jovens. Apesar de sua idade, corria a lenda de que ainda era capaz de derrotar qualquer adversário. Certa tarde, um guerreiro conhecido por sua total falta de escrúpulos apareceu por ali. Era famoso por utilizar a técnica da provocação: esperava que seu adversário fizesse o primeiro movimento e, dotado de uma inteligência privilegiada para reparar os erros cometidos, contra-atacava com velocidade fulminante.

O jovem e impaciente guerreiro jamais havia perdido uma luta. Conhecendo a reputação do samurai, estava ali para derrotá-lo, e aumentar sua fama. Todos os estudantes se manifestaram contra a idéia, mas o velho aceitou o desafio. Foram todos para a praça da cidade, e o jovem começou a insultar o velho mestre. Chutou algumas pedras em sua direção, cuspiu em seu rosto, gritou todos os insultos conhecidos, ofendendo inclusive seus ancestrais. Durante horas fez tudo para provocá-lo, mas o velho permaneceu impassível. No final da tarde, sentindo-se já exausto e humilhado, o impetuoso guerreiro retirou-se.

Desapontados pelo fato de que o mestre aceitar tantos insultos e provocações, os alunos perguntaram:

- Como o senhor pode suportar tanta indignidade?

- Por que não usou sua espada, mesmo sabendo que podia perder a luta, ao invés de mostrar-se covarde diante de todos nós?

- Se alguém chega ate você com um presente, e você não o aceita, a quem pertence o presente? perguntou o Samurai.

- A quem tentou entregá-lo - respondeu um dos discípulos.

- O mesmo vale para a inveja, a raiva, e os insultos - disse o mestre.

Quando não são aceitos, continuam pertencendo a quem os carregava consigo.

"A sua paz interior, depende exclusivamente de você .As pessoas não podem lhe tirar a calma, se você não o permitir."

Excelente Segunda-feira
Abraços       d:-)

Não existem sonhos impossíveis para aqueles que realmente acreditam que o poder realizador reside no interior de cada ser humano, sempre que alguém descobre esse poder algo antes considerado impossível se torna realidade.

Sds, Marcell

A inveja fala ao seu ouvido e você os fecha para sua voz. Porque a inveja é má. A inveja é prejudicial a tudo e a todos. A inveja é maligna. A inveja é como o espírito de morte. E suas moradas são os corações sem amor e sem vida.

“O sentimento sadio é vida para o corpo, mas a inveja é podridão para os ossos. (Provérbios 14:30)”
