( 3 ) Hitting a Bald-headed Man with Pears
-
1. A bald-headed foolish man was walking happily to the market.
- 2. I heard the guy that sell pears is always boasting of his muscular strength.
-
3. The foolish man walked towards the stall to meet the pear seller.
- 4. Hey do you know that I’m strong enough to break your head?
-
5. Is that so! I bet you can’t.
- 6. The insulted pear seller was angry and started throwing pears at the foolish man’s head.
-
7. Oh! My goodness. Why do you stand here and suffer, the fortune without running away?
- 8.Well, that idiot is soproud of his muscular strength, he thought he could break my head.
-
9. Upon seeing my bald head, he struck it with pears until it was bruised and bleeding. But I have a head as strong as a piece of roch which cannot be broken.
-
10. You are an idiot yourself for not running away to avoid bruising your head!
Explanation:
There are Bhikkhus who, unable to abide discipline, meditation and wisdom, keeps only a good appearance to expect support. They are just like that stupid man who got as far as a wounded head without knowing how to run away and call the attacker stupid instead.
