LA VASIJA AGRIETADA - CUENTO #budismo #zen #meditation #reflexiones #cuentos #hinduismo

[Music] Once upon a time,

there was an old farmer who

walked long distances every day to

collect water from the nearest spring and

carry it to his family.

The man walked each day carrying

two jugs on his shoulders, supported by

a pole.

The jugs, like him, were

insignificant, and over the years they too had

aged and deteriorated.

One of the jugs had been

the most damaged by the

man's constant journeys and had

cracked, causing it to

lose more and more water on his

travels.

One day, the cracked jug said to

the man, "I do

n't know if you've noticed, but I've had

cracks for some time now and I'm not very useful.

While the other jug ​​makes long and

long journeys carrying all the

water you pour into it,

I, however, lose more than

half the water every day along the way. I think the

best thing for you would be to abandon me and

replace me with another jug ​​that does

the job you deserve."

[Music]

The man stopped and

gently placed the He placed pots on the

ground and said to the cracked pot, "Have you

noticed what has

happened since you started shouting

until today?

[Music] Have you

noticed the path we

walk together every day?"

The pot was thoughtful for a

moment and resignedly replied, "No. I only

know that I'm useless because I'm not

capable of doing the only function I'm supposed to

do.

I really think you should replace me with another one."

The man looked at her intently and said to

the pot, "

Listen carefully to what I'm going to

tell you, old friend.

Every day since you started shouting

from the right side of my shoulder, all along

the path we travel together, I

planted seeds that, as you can

see, not only brighten my

day with the colors and smells

the plants give off,

but have also borne fruit and

allow me and others to harvest them and

bring food to our families.

And thanks to what? You know what?

Thanks to the water that you yourself have been

spilling along the way.

You should be proud of what you are."
