3. This Is The Story..... There Were Two Temples High Up In The Mountain, The Monks Living In Temple A We re At Loggerheads. Their Lives Were Miserable.
4. 乙廟的和尚們 , 常一團和氣 , 個個笑容滿面 , 生活快樂 . The Monks Living In Temple B Were A Happy Lot. Every Monk Carried A Smiling Face.
6. The Abbot Of Temple A Felt Curious . He Consulted A Samanera Of Temple B: ‘ How Do You All Manage To Maintain The Harmony In The Temple All The Time?’ The Samanera Replied:’ It Is Because We Always Make Mistake.’
7. As The Abbot Was Feeling Baffled, He Saw A Monk Walking In Hastily. He Stepped Into Shrine; Slipped And Fell. 甲廟住持正感疑惑時, 忽見一位和尚匆匆由外歸來, 走進大廳時…不慎滑了一跤,
9. A Monk Who Was Mopping The Floor Immediately Went Over To Help Him To Get Up And Said: ’ I Am Sorry, It Is My Fault Making The Floor So Wet.’
10. 站在大門口的和尚, 也跟著跑進來帶著歉意說: ‘對不起!都是我的錯, 沒有告訴您大廳正在拖地 .’ Another Monk Who Was Standing At The Doorway Rushed Inside And Said Apologetically: ‘ I Am Sorry, It Is My Fault. I Did Not Warn You Somebody Is Mopping The Floor.’
12. The Monk Got Up ; Feeling Bad For His Own Carelessness, Said: ’ I Am Sorry, It Is My Own Fault. I Should Be More Mindful When Walking.’
13. 前來請教的甲廟住持看到這一幕, 心領神會, 他已經知道答案了 ! 您知道了嗎? Seeing All These, The Abbot Who Came For Advice Was Awakened And Found The Answer. Do You Know His Answer ?
15. Moral Of The Story Admitting Mistake Is Not Defeat, It Shows Cultivation, It Could Inspire A Person To Progress It Could Also Transform Hostility To Harmony.
