A Meaning of Value

Guys...Another story about life...let me re-story to u all, hopefully bring something big-good-valuable to all of us...enjoy :


A young man came to the Zen-sei and asked, "Teacher, I don't understand why people like you should dress as they are, very, very simple. Is not in this present time the best dressed very necessary? not only for appearance but also for many other purposes . "

The teacher just smiled.Then He removed the ring from one finger, then said, "a young friend, I'll answer your question, but first do one thing for me. Take this ring and bring it to market on the other end. Can you sell it for a piece of gold?" Seeing Zen-sei's ring is dirty, the young man hesitated, "One piece of gold?I'm not sure this ring could be sold for that. "

"Try it, young friend. You'll never know until u try."
The young man was rushed to the market. He offered the ring to the cloth merchants, traders of vegetables, sellers of meat and fish, as well as to others.
Apparently, no one dared to buy gold coins worth one.They offered only one piece of silver. Of course, the young man didn't dare to sell it for a piece of silver. He returned to the hermitage of Zen-sei and report, "Teacher, no one dared to offer more than one pieces of silver."

Zen-sei still smiling wisely, said, "Now you go to the store of gold on the back of the road. Show this to goldsmith there. Do not open the price, just listen to how he gave the assessment."

The young man went to a gold shop as a direction. He returned to the Zen-sei
and reported, "Teachers,the traders in the market didn't know the true value of this ring. Gold traders bid the price of a thousand pieces of gold. Apparently the value of this ring a thousand times higher than that offered in by the traders in the market. "

Zen-sei smile as he said softly, "That the answer of your question young pal. A person can not be judged by his clothes. Only "vegetable Traders, fish and meat in the market" define such a rate. But not for the "gold traders".

"Gold and diamonds that laid in a person, can only be seen and assessed if we are able to see into the depths of the soul. It takes wisdom to see them. And it takes a process.
We can not judge just by recalled words and attitudes that we hear and see at a glance. we Often see gold as a just iron and see iron as a gold"
