AMERICAN ICE CAPADES AND A CHINESE ZEN MASTER

11/11/2019

 
When he was the Chancellor of a Buddhist College he founded in Taiwan, Zen Master Hsing Yun tells about the excitement among the students that American Ice Capades were going to perform in the city. He overheard one student say enthusiastically "If I can't watch the Ice Capades, it's going to be something I'll regret for the rest of my life."


However, there was a problem: the college had a regulation forbidding students from leaving the campus when classes were in session. So, on the day the Ice Capades were schedule to be in the city, Master Yun called the student into his office explaining: "I want to you help me with a few things. Please go to the city and buy office supplies for us." He added there would be several hundred dollars left over after she made the purchases and said: "You can use that money for anything you want, and it's OK if you return a little bit late. You don't need to ask any of your teachers for permission."


The student laughed out loud smiling from ear to ear and responded: "Than you, Chancellor. I understand your meaning." She enjoyed the Ice Capades and, as a result of his kindness, became even more dedicated to her studies emerging as one of the schools top students.
