Two monks were once travelling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was falling. Coming around a bend, they saw a lovely woman in a silk kimono, unable to go further because of a huge puddle that blocked her way.
"Come on, girl," said the older monk at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the water.
The younger monk did not speak until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he could no longer restrain himself. "Buddhist monks don't touch females," he told the senior monk, "especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?"
"But I put the girl down right away," said the older monk. "Why are you still carrying her?"
Om Namah Shivay
