Two monks were returning to their monastery. While walking ahead, the older monk came to a river. On the bank there was a beautiful young girl. She was afraid to cross alone.
The old monk quickly looked away from her and crossed the river. When he was on the other side he looked back, and to his horror he saw the younger monk carrying the girl across the river on his shoulders.
The two monks continued their journey side by side. When they were just outside the monastery gates the older monk said to the younger, "That was not good. That was against the rules. We monks are not supposed to touch women."
The younger monk replied: "I left her on the bank of the river; are you still carrying her?'

hi mav - wht i read was it is supposed to be the old learned monk who carried the girl. and the young monk asked the question as he is still unable to understand zen.
many people still don't want to compete competitively, instead they prefer to compete through jealousy and so on. the old man still can't help to leave the gal in his mind because in his mind the young monk have that gal for a moment. To be ultra successful, we got to leave it very fast and move forward, don't look back, just move, move towards the right direction
mave, what happened to you recently? you seem to be getting hornier by the day with all these sexiest article.
Agnos,
Haha... I used to read this story like yours until I read it from OSHO.
Anon 1:25pm,
I am not hornier but sex is part of human philosophy and part of God's intended characteristics of human's physiological needs.
