The story of the horse thief - Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Story told by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. In this powerful narrative, we delve into the life of a hardened horse thief, who, during an act of cruelty, experiences an extraordinary moment of compassion that changes his life forever.
As he cruelly cuts open the belly of a pregnant horse, he witnesses the mother horse, despite her dire condition, using her last strength to care for her unborn foal. This heart-wrenching scene reveals to him the depths of compassion that even an animal can exhibit, making him realize the absence of such compassion in his own life.
Shaken to his core, the thief discards his blade and leaves behind his life of crime. Inspired by the horse's selfless act, he embarks on a transformative journey, dedicating himself to the profound teachings of Buddhism and eventually becoming a revered practitioner.
