How To Let Go - a buddhist story

hi this is there to do motivation and this is a story about letting go once upon a time - Buddhist monks were on a journey one of them was the senior monk and the other was a junior monk and during their journey they approached a raging river and on the riverbank stood a young lady she was clearly concerned about how she would get to the other side of the river without drowning the junior monk walked straight past her without giving it a thought and he crossed the river the senior monk however picked up the woman

and carried her across the river he placed her down they parted ways and on they went with the journey as the journey went on the senior monk could see some concern on the junior monks mind he asked what was wrong and the junior monk replied how could you carry her like that you know we can't touch women it's against our way of life and the senior monk answered I left the woman at the river's edge long way back why are you still carrying her the senior monk had broken rules but for good reason once the

purpose was fulfilled he put her down and continued on he never gave it a further thought the junior monk however he didn't touch the woman but he had brought up the actions of the senior monk when it was an action of the past therefore the junior monk was carrying the burden of what the senior monk had done has an emotional baggage you see in life we have little use for past experiences except of learning whether it is good or bad and just like in this Buddhist monk story we need to let go of any burden

the past has placed on us it's happened it's over it cannot be changed we can only move forward and create a more compelling future for ourselves if you hang on to something which happened in the past which gives you suffering every time you relive it you think about it you will get the same suffering over and over again which will create a cycle of suffering for yourself so stop worrying and let the past go and that way you can concentrate fully on the future this is there to do motivation stories thanks for watching and stay

blessed you
