      Choose Peace - Basanth Rahul

      Story 1.

      Gautam Buddha had a disciple who had been a devotee for many years, and one day Buddha asked him, Monk, what is your age? The monk replied, Five. Buddha was surprised. Five years old? You look at least seventy. What kind of answer is this? The monk replied, "I say this because the ray of meditation entered my life five years ago, and only in the last five years has love showered in my life. Before that, my life was like a dream; I existed in sleep. When counting my age I do not consider those years.

      How can I? My real life only began five years ago. I am only five." Buddha told all his disciples to note the monk’s answer well. You should all count your ages in this manner; this is the standard for

      calculating age. If love and meditation are not yet born in you, your life, up to now, is negated; you are not born yet. But it is never so late that you cannot start trying. We should all strive for a higher life. And for that it is never too late.

      Story 2.

      A king was very much interested in a Yogi who always remained underneath a tree, sitting silently. Every night the king passed around the city in disguise to see whether everything was right or not. He always found that Yogi sitting like a statue, without any movement. Finally, he could not contain his curiosity. He stopped his horse and he said, Young man, forgive me for disturbing your meditation. The Yogi opened his eyes and he said, "There is no need for any apology because Iam

      not meditating, I am meditation – nobody can disturb it. But whatever your curiosity is, please fulfil it."

      Story 3.

      A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery. He takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes and begins his meditation. After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own. With his eyes still closed, he senses his anger rising, and by the time he opens his eyes, he is ready to scream at the boatman who dared disturb his meditation. But when he opens his eyes, he sees it’s an empty boat that had probably got untethered and floated to the middle of the lake. At that moment, the monk achieves self-

      realization, and understands that the anger is within him; it merely needs the bump of an external object to provoke it out of him. From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or provokes him to anger, he reminds himself, "The other
