Let Him Know You Care

 

During the time when he was frustrated by the blow of love, the young man on the mountain went to the temple behind the mountain and became a monk.

His mother went up the mountain to try and convince him to come home, but he did not return. Despite my father's efforts, the boy did not return. My sister tried to persuade him, but he did not respond. He has become detached from the world from the blue light.

Mother ran to the temple every day. To show his determination, Father simply refused to meet with him.

His mother cried all day long and his father sighed all day long.

Also visiting the temple to see him was the teaching uncle who was alarmed by this incident.Don't talk about it if you are also here to persuade me to return home. I've decided to become a monk.Everyone has their own desires, and I will not interfere with your desires to become a monk and to be filial to your mother.Seeing your mother every day should not be a stressful ordeal because she is so old.

He said, "I didn't let her come to see me, but she wanted to.".

Uncle said, she climbed the mountain to see you every day, because she was worried about you, and worried about your life here. However, everything is fine. In any case, your home is at the foot of the mountain, and you can hear the bell. Your mother heard it and knows that everything is alright with you, so she won't worry, and she won't have to climb up the mountain to see you. Your family will know if you aren't living well if you tap it four times.

Isn't it all about this? And it can also prevent his mother from bothering him every day. He agreed.

Since then, he has made sure to ring the bell for evening prayer three times, which is for his family.

As expected, his mother didn't climb the mountain to disturb him, his father didn't come, and his sister didn't show up.He has to think of them every time he strikes the bell. The bell belongs to them.

In ten days, after ringing the three bells again that night, something strange happened to him. A bell came from a direction near his home, and it rang nine times in a row.

Although he knew that his family rang the bell, how could he have one in his house? How does it sound if it rings nine times in a row? Sleep was not easy this night because of these two questions in his mind.

For the next two days, nine bells will ring in the direction of home as soon as he finishes ringing the bell.

After two days, he returned home for alms, and found he had a big bell hanging at the door. The family bought this clock for him, so they knew he was well, so they felt relieved. Since he was uncertain of his home situation, he was concerned that he bought a clock there. The parents and her three children knocked nine times a day, each knocking three times. That means everyone is doing well.

After letting go, he returned to the temple. Ever since then, the bells up and down the mountain have responded, conveying mutual messages.

One month has passed.After one day, when he rung the bell again, he couldn't hear the bell at home, and he began to mutter in his heart, what happened at home, why didn't he ring the bell?The clock at home still didn't ring the next day.Is there something going on at home?The mountain was no longer safe for him to stay on, so he rushed home overnight.

There is no big clock on the door of the house. When he entered the house, his father was there, his mother was there, and his sister was there as well. There's only one more person in the family, and that's Uncle.

"Where is the bell?", he asked.

Uncle said he sold it.

What made you sell it?

All of you have gone home, and you are no longer a monk. What use is the clock at home?

The man was surprised.It was never stated that he would no longer be a monk.

It has been said that monks pay attention to the cleanliness of the four elements and the six elements. If you care so much about your family, then you are not suited to become a monk.

He hesitated and removed his monk's robe. Parents want their son back to them, and the younger sister wants to see her older brother again. Don't mention how happy the family is.

As the uncle had suggested, since the man had died and wanted to be a monk, it would be pointless to persuade him. It would be better to give him care, because with care, his heart would one day return.

A caring attitude is the best way to make a person change his mind, regain his vitality. When there is care, there will be longing, and when there is longing, there will be love. With love, despite how cold the heart might be, ice and snow will melt and spring will bloom.

Giving love represents caring for others. The same holds true for family affection, and the same holds true for love and friendship.
