Weekend Story-House On Fire

A monk asked his master, “How can I stay calm when chaos surrounds me?”

The master paused, then said, “Imagine your house is on fire. You have moments to act. What do you choose to save?”

The monk pondered deeply. At first, he thought of treasures and belongings, but then he realized none truly mattered.

After a long silence, the master added, “Now, live as if the fire is already here.”

The monk, struck by the wisdom, understood that peace comes not from clinging but knowing what to let go.
