Once upon a time, a master and his student lived in the temple. There was a summer which was hotter than others, the grass in the temple had withered.
The little monk said:”They look so bad! We need to plant some, otherwise the garden will be bald!”
The master waved his hand: “ we should wait until the weather gets cooler.”
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Master bought a bag of grass seeds to ask the little monk to plant. But, the grass seeds scattered and fluttered, when the autumn wind blew. The little monk saw that then became worried and shouted:“ There is lot of seeds blew away!”
The master said:”It’s okay, most of them blow away because they are empty, it won’t be able to sprout anyway.”
After sowing the seeds, a few birds flew over to peck them.
“Mater! Help! The birds are eating the seeds.” The little monk jumped and shouted.
“It’s okay! We planted more seeds than we need.”
There was a shower in the middle of that night. The little monk ran to the master’s room:
“Master! the rain washed away lot of the seeds.”
” It’s ok! where they send to wherever they grow,” the master said, “let it be”
One week later, the grass seedlings grew out of the originally bare ground, also other corners that they did not plant. That surprised the little monk, all his worries finally ended.
The master nodded and smiled.
Let it be, do not worry, do not complain, do not rush, do not overdo, do not panic, do not force. Don’t be pessimistic, don’t be rigid, don’t get carried away. Just let it be.
