The Empty Bowl
The Empty Bowl (Buddhism)Characters: ANANDA and THE MONK.Setting: A dusty road. ANANDA is carrying a heavy sack of gold.ANANDA: I’ve searched everywhere for happiness. I bought the finest silks, the best spices, even this gold. But I’m still heavy with worry.MONK: (Holding out an empty wooden bowl) Your heart is like this bowl, Ananda.ANANDA: Empty? That sounds terrible.MONK: A full bowl can hold nothing new. A full mind can learn nothing true.ANANDA: But if I let go of my gold, I’ll have nothing!MONK: You have nothing now. You only have the fear of losing things you don't truly own.ANANDA: (He sets the sack down) My shoulders... they don't ache anymore.MONK: The burden wasn't the gold. It was the "mine."
