Walking on water
Three monks decided to practice meditation together. They sat by
the side of a lake and closed their eyes in concentration. Then
suddenly, the first one stood up and said, "I forgot my mat." He
steeped miraculously onto the water in front of him and walked
across the lake to their hut on the other side.
When he returned, the second monk stood up and said, "I forgot to
put my the other underwear to dry." He too walked calmly across the
water and returned the same way. The third monk watched the first
two carefully in what he decided must be the test of his own
abilities. "Is your learning so superior to mine? I too can match
any feat you two can perform," he declared loudly and rushed to the
water's edge to walk across it. He promptly fell into the deep
water.
Undeterred, the yogi climbed out of the water and tried again, only
to sink into the water. Yet again he climbed out and yet again he
tried, each time sinking into the water. This went on for some time
as the other two monks watched.
After a while, the second monk turned to the first and said, "Do you
think we should tell him where the stones are?"
