Friday, January 11th, 2019 Focus for today: I treat everyone as the messiah, or the Buddha, or the Christ. "Last night I had a dream," he told them. "It was revealed to me that one of you is the messiah." The monks were astonished and looked at each other, bewildered. "Who is it?" one of them asked boldly. "That is something I am not allowed to reveal to you," the stranger answered. "You will have to discover that for yourself." Then, as mysteriously as he had arrived, the man departed. During the weeks and months that followed, the monks treaded lightly with each other and looked into each other's eyes more deeply. They treated each other as if any one of them could be the messiah. Then, over a period of time, something miraculous happened. A sense of joy and appreciation began to fill the halls of the monastery for the first time in a long time. Eventually all of the original monks passed on, without any one of them being designated as the messiah. They had all become the messiah. Wouldn't it be beautiful if we treated everyone as the messiah, or the Buddha, or the Christ? Can you imagine the kind of world we would create? As Joan Osborne asked in song, "What if God was one of us?" Excerpted from the InnerSelf article: I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha... Wait, Maybe It Is! |
