There was once a traveller walking from a village in the mountains to a village in the
valley
As he walked along, he saw a monk working in a field, so he stopped and said to the
monk, I'm on my way to the village in the valley, can you tell me what it's like?
The monk looked up from his labour and asked the man where he had come from.
The man responded, I have come from the village in the mountains."
What was it like?" the monk asked
Ternble the man exclaimed, "No-one spoke my language; I had to sleep on a dirt
floor in one of their houses. They fed me some sort of stew that had yak or dog or
both in it and the weather was atrocious!"
"Then I think that you will find the village in the valley is much the same, the monk
noted
A few hours later another traveller passed by and he said to the monk, "I am on my
way to the village in the valley, can you tell me what it's like?"
Where have you come from?' enquired the monk.
have come from the village in the mountains."
"And what was that like?"
"It was awesome! the man replied, "No-one spoke my language so we had to
communicate using our hands and facial expressions. I had to sleep on the dirt floor
which was really cool as I've never done that before. They fed me some sort of weird
stew and I have no idea what was in it but just to experience how the locals ived was
great and the weather was freezing cold, which meant that I really got a taste of the
local conditions. It was one of the best experiences of my life."
"Then I think that you'll find that the village in the valley is much the same,"
responded the monk
