Light and Dark

"Once a very old king went to see an old hermit who lived in a bird's nest in the top of a tree. 'What is the most important Buddhist teaching?' The hermit answered, 'Do no evil, do only good. Purify your heart.' The king had expected to hear a very long explanation. He protested, 'But even a 5-year old child can understand that!' 'Yes,' replied the wise sage, 'but even an 80-year-old man cannot do it.'

Indeed or even a 58 -year-old man.

I apoligize to my friends if my posts seem to be dark of late, but fear not, the secret that I have learned recently is that darkness is not the absence of light, darkness is simply a misunderstanding.
