You Cannot Steal the Moon – Zen Koan

Ryokan who was a Zen monk lived a very simple life in a small hut at the base of a large mountain. One night a thief came to the hut where he found out there was nothing to steal.

Ryokan was awakened and ran after the thief. "You must have travelled far to visit me," he said to the thief, "and you shouldn’t leave without having something. Please have my clothes – this is my gift to you.”

The thief was mightily confused. He took the clothes and vanished quickly into the night.

Ryoken sat in the nude, looking at the moon. "Poor friend," he opined, "I do wish I could have given him this beautiful moon."

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” Buddha

  1. Semua Ahli-ahli MCA Malaysia yang dihormati,

    Segelintir pemimpin MCA seperti YIP KUM FOOK (lawyer, MCA Gombak) dan Yip Jiun Hann(pemuda MCA Gombak) perangainya sendiri pun tidak bermoral dan nama pun sangat busuk di Selangor. Khas nya di Kepong, Selayang, Rawang dan lain tempat, seperti makan wang SAMNAK SAMBODHI, DESA JAYA, KEPONG, merosakkan keluarga orang lain……..perangai sebegitu jahat.

    Mereka cuba suruh kita menyokong Donald lim Siang Chai, sekira kumpulan ini bermenang dalam parti MCA, saya yakin parti MCA akan tenggelam selama-lama di Malaysia

    Jangan kena jerat, sokong lah Saudara Dr Wee Ka Siong

    SAMNAK SAMBODHI COMMITTEES
