A young monk didn’t dare to ask his master further questions because he didn’t want to bother him. He said to the master, I’m sorry that I forgot your answer. Though I really want to ask you again, I have asked for several times and don’t want to make you angry.
The master said to the young monk, Go and light a candle. So did the young monk.
The master asked him to light more candles with the lighted candle. So did the young monk again.
The other candles were all lighted by the first one, but did the first candle get any weaker? The master said.
No, answered the young monk.
Therefore, like the first candle, I will not lose anything. Welcome to ask me anytime.
Exactly, some times we made the darkness for ourselves. A candle lights up others while it will not get weaker.
It’s the same that when we share our happiness with others, we will not lose something, on the contrary, we will be happier and satisfactory.
