The Monk and the Fly

A contented Monk relaxes under a shady Banyan tree on a peaceful summer's day. What could possibly go wrong?

[@dawnanncampbell]

This made me laugh out loud on a sad day; day 49 since my brothers death, just the tonic I needed, thank you for sharing.

[@hunterflowerson4460]

Hope you’re doing well Dawn ❤️

Mind is capable of creating problems out of nowhere!

[@KingAGBozz]

The fly is a metaphor for the thoughts coming in while meditating.

[@lulaarbaiza]

And the frog?

[@kiransavidi]

@@lulaarbaiza The frog is the awareness. The thought disappears when you are aware of it.

[@Dz-em2wl]

I think it just showed the hypocrisy of this particular so called monk and how he actually doesn't practice what he preaches.

[@easyskankingdude]

or maybe it's just a fly.

[@dispositionforappreciation4734]

Ikr, Let your inner frog eat them! LOL Needless to say I'm not making fun at anyone just making fun in general Being the goofy I usually am :D 🙏

[@UKLorider]

I am Buddhist and it made me smile.

[@aljj007]

Excellent! I guess there is a message within that short animated film - every creature or being has their purpose in the world and it shouldn't be taken for granted...

[@brianhanson2506]

If he would have accepted what is and allow things to happen the fly would not have bothered him to begin with instead of all that anger and wasted energy

[@Simply_CH23]

It's films like this that make my day...this made my day!

[@stethebee]

[@joshuagarrard3859]

[@star1light23]

[@RelmoDj]

[@bsafo]

[@TomStraub]

[@pleasefindnemo]

Aw, it's lovely!

[@Tokyusane]

hey ! i did not believe in this one, how come to be like this !!!!!!!!! ohhhhhh !!! Very interesting @!!#@

[@AnakaricDharma]

clear example for our instincts, everyone needs rest time.. think about when you sleep guys.. what could possibly go wrong? LoL!

[@danielalexandermclachlanga3781]

@PCHA bodhi.... moving tha frog from tha meditation cushion is tha compulsion to arrange tha situation based on a " plan" ... swatting at tha fly is an unconscious compulsion , not instinct ...

[@caoimhog7]

really cool

[@tomaterra]

Nice video, great example, imagine that guy not been a monk...! But a fly or a mosquito can turn anybody crazy.

[@chrispeters5780]

[@netstormuk]

Awesome

[@TakingAndChanging]

Haha awesome!

[@DinosaurBytes]

The monk really reminds me of some of the the enemies in Spyro

[@cloakofanonymity]

My interpretation of this story: The fly is the woman you invited into your life. The frog is a good friend that warned you about her but you chose not to listen. He went on to college, became a great divorce attorney and came back and solved your problem. Your welcome.

[@bailey78]

I found this video while searching for a Zen video of a monk sitting while a fly buzzes around him. It was saved on one of my old computers that crashed long ago. If any of you know what I'm talking about and know where to find it Please let me know.

[@MrSitric]

[@Duffee126]

A friend indeed when a friend in need.
