The story of Buddha and the drunken elephant

Once upon a time there was an elephant who had drunk too much alcohol and got drunk. He ran through the jungle and destroyed everything in his path. The other animals were horrified and didn't know what to do.

In this jungle also lived the wise Buddha. When he heard about the drunken elephant, he decided to help him. He went into the jungle and met the elephant. The elephant was so drunk that it did not recognize Buddha and attacked him.

Buddha, however, remained calm and composed. He saw the pain and suffering in the elephant's eyes and knew he had to help it. Buddha gently touched the elephant with his hand and the elephant immediately calmed down.

Buddha said to the elephant, My friend, you drank too much alcohol and got drunk. You have hurt yourself and others. It is important that you learn to control your emotions and rethink your actions.

The elephant listened carefully and realized that he had made a mistake. He thanked Buddha and promised never to drink so much alcohol again.

The other animals in the jungle saw how Buddha had helped the elephant, and they learned an important lesson. They realized that it is important to help others and show compassion even if they have made a mistake.

The moral of this story is that it is always possible to help others, even when they have hurt us. Compassion and patience can help us overcome difficult situations and help others see and overcome their mistakes.

The story of the princess who found the path to enlightenment

Once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a big palace. She had everything she wanted - jewelry, toys, and delicious food. But despite all these things, she felt empty and unhappy. One day she decided to leave the palace and explore the world outside.

She traveled through forests and over mountains, met different people and visited different places. But despite all her travels and experiences, she still felt unhappy.

One day, the princess met a wise monk who told her about Buddhist teachings. He spoke of the importance of compassion, wisdom and the search for enlightenment. The princess was fascinated by his words and asked the monk how she could find the path to enlightenment.

The monk replied, The path to enlightenment begins with seeking the truth about ourselves and the world around us. You must open your heart and set out on the journey to find the truth.

The princess followed the monk's words and began her own journey to enlightenment. She learned to feel compassion and love for all beings and to question her own thoughts and actions.

Finally, after many years of searching and meditation, the princess found the path to enlightenment. She realized that true happiness does not lie in material things, but in the inner contentment that comes from attaining wisdom and compassion.

The princess returned to the palace and shared her insights with everyone around her. She taught people that the path to enlightenment is open to everyone and that the search for truth and inner contentment is the key to happiness.

The moral of this story is that true happiness cannot be achieved through external things like wealth or power. Rather, it comes through the discovery of inner wisdom and compassion, which can be obtained through a journey of self-discovery and meditation.

The story of the precious pearl

Once upon a time, there was a young man named Tashi who lived in a small village at the foot of a mountain. Tashi was very poor and had hardly anything to eat or drink. One day he heard about a valuable pearl that was hidden somewhere on the mountain. The pearl was so valuable that it would allow Tashi to live a life of wealth and luxury.

Tashi set off for the mountain and began his search for the precious pearl. He wandered the mountains for days, looking for clues that might lead him to the pearl. Finally, he found a cave filled with gems and jewels. But there was no trace of the precious pearl.

Tashi was disappointed and decided to return home. On his way, he met a wise monk who told him about Buddhist teachings. The monk said, Tashi, the true meaning of wealth and values lies not in material things, but in the inner contentment one attains through the practice of compassion, wisdom, and virtue.

Tashi understood the monk's words and returned to his village without finding the precious pearl. However, he began to change his thoughts and actions and practice compassion and wisdom. He helped others in need and collected donations for the needy.

In time, Tashi realized that the true meaning of wealth lies in the joy one experiences from sharing and helping others. He attained inner satisfaction and happiness even though he had not found the precious pearl.

The moral of this story is that true wealth and values do not lie in material things, but in the inner contentment
