2 monks and the beautiful woman

This story was one of many quoted throughout "way of the peaceful warrior"

An old monk and a young monk were walking through a forest when they came to a river bank and saw a beautiful young woman standing at the edge of the bank.

The woman told the monks that she was afraid to cross the river because she might slip and be carried downstream. She asked if one of the monks might help her across.

Now it so happened that these 2 monks were members of a sect which practiced celibacy and they had both taken vows never to touch a member of the opposite sex. But the old monk, sensing the extreme anxiety of the young woman, lifted her onto his back and carried her to the other side of the river.

The young woman thanked him and went on her way. The 2 monks continued on their journey, but the young monk was shocked and disturbed at having seen his older companion break his vow so nonchalantly. Finally, after 3 hours of walking and thinking, he could contain himself no longer and he burst out, "Tell me, old man, what did it feel like to break your vow of so many years? What did it feel like to allow sensuality to tempt you from your spiritual path? What did it feel like to have her smooth warm thighs wrapped around your waist, her breasts brushing against your back, her arms around your neck and her soft cheek almost one with your own? Tell me, old man, what is it like to carry such a beautiful young woman?"

The older monk remained silent for several steps and then said, "It is you who should tell me what it is like to carry such a beautiful young woman. You see I put her down hours ago at the river, but you are still carrying her."


In the book, it was used to prove the importance of focusing on the moment and not letting yourself being distracted into the past or the future. There were lots of anecdotes and tales like this throughout the story, told to the hero to illustrate some point. This one just kinda stood out to me.

Black mamba!

Peaceful Warrior

Yesterday I caught the bus after work and watched a free showing of Peaceful Warrior.



A couple days before I bought the book (Way of the Peaceful Warrior) because I heard it was a great read and so far it has been. I wanted to finish reading it before watching the movie but a free showing is a free showing. It's a great story and I'm still reading the book intently. It reminds me a lot of The Alchemist which is probably one of the most inspiring stories ever written.


Come to think of it, there's been kind of a repeating pattern in all the movies I'm taking a shining to...



Looks like 2007 is turning into the search for inner peace.
