Chapter - 2 Collection of Examples
Once, a certain king, having become angry with his wife, because she had been unfaithful, had her tied up and thrown into a well. The king's brother asked, "What happened?" The brother replied, "She has been unfaithful to me for twelve years." The king asked, "What should I do?" The brother replied, "Burn the king's palace." All the people were shocked and horrified. The king then gave the brother a goat. The brother milked the goat, and filled a bowl with milk. He then told the king to burn the palace, saying that the bowl would be filled with milk. What happened? The palace was not burned, and the bowl was filled with milk every day. The king asked, "Where is the milk coming from?" The brother replied, "The goat has gone, and we will give you milk from now on." He then brought a fragrant ointment and rubbed it on the king. The king asked, "What is this?" The brother replied, "The king is suffering from a mountain of sorrow. I will help him find the path of liberation." The king agreed. The brother then said, "Let's build a golden palace." The king agreed. The brother then said, "If you can bring the ocean here, and make the water pure, then I will give you the tenth part of my wealth." The king agreed. The brother brought the ocean, and made the water pure. The king was very happy and married his wife. The brother then brought many other things for the king to enjoy. The king enjoyed all these things for twelve years. After that, the brother taught the king the path of liberation. The king followed the path of liberation for twelve years, and attained liberation. He then went to the city of the king, and went to the house of the goldsmith. The goldsmith was making a golden statue of the king. The king saw that the goldsmith was using a very sharp tool to make the statue. The king then went to the house of the goldsmith's neighbor. The neighbor was begging for food. The king saw that the neighbor was very hungry. The king then went to the house of the goldsmith's neighbor's neighbor. The neighbor's neighbor was eating a very delicious meal. The king saw that the neighbor's neighbor was very happy. The king then went to the house of the goldsmith's neighbor's neighbor's neighbor. The neighbor's neighbor's neighbor's neighbor was very sad. The king asked the neighbor's neighbor's neighbor's neighbor why he was sad.
