The zen master just had a new student who’s having a hard time in life .
The master put two tablespoons of salt into a glass of water, then asked the student to taste.
The student had a sip and told him: that’s too salty, even bitter.
Then the master took the student to a lake, he put two tablespoons of salt into the lake and asked the student to taste the water, the student tasted it and told him: the water is so sweet, no difference with other spring water.
The master smiled and said: the salt is such like the pain and struggles in your life, so you want to have a small heart or big heart?
