A Famous Soldier Came To The Master Hakuin And Asked: "Master, Quotes

A famous soldier came to the master Hakuin and asked:
"Master, tell me: is there really a heaven and a hell?"

"Who are you?" asked Hakuin.

"I am a soldier of the great Emperor's personal guard."

"Nonsense!" said Hakuin.
"What kind of emperor would have you around him?
To me you look like a beggar!"
At this, the soldier started to rattle his big sword in anger.
"Oho!" said Hakuin.
"So you have a sword!
I'll wager it's much too dull to cut my head off!"

At this the soldier could not hold himself back.
He drew his sword and threatened the master, who said:
"Now you know half the answer! You are opening the gates of hell!"

The soldier drew back, sheathed his sword, and bowed.
"Now you know the other half," said the master.
"You have opened the gates of heaven ."

As a fletcher makes straight his arrow,
a wise man makes straight his trembling and unsteady thought,
which is difficult to guard, difficult to hold back.

Moving on isn't forgetting the past,
it's learning from it.

जन्म का मृत्यु द्वारा, नौजवानी का बुढापे द्वारा और
भाग्य का दुर्भाग्य द्वारा स्वागत किया जाता है
इस प्रकार इस दुनिया में सब कुछ क्षणिक है ..
