An European Buddhist woman was in India, studying
with her teacher. She was riding with another woman friend in a rickshaw-like
carriage, when they were attacked by a man on the street. In the end, the
attacker only succeeded in frightening the women, but the Buddhist woman was
quite upset by the event and told her teacher so. She asked him what she should
have done - what would have been the most appropriate Buddhist response.
The
teacher said very simply, "You should have very mindfully and with great
compassion whacked the attacker over the head with your umbrella."
Two old women were sitting on a bench waiting

The
other woman turned to her and said "I know! I heard it snoring!"

theatre shouted:
"Don't
worry, Freddy! It's just a stage you're going through!"

There was once a man who lived in a poor country. He went to law school and became a very successful person. Years later, he decided to go back to his country to show them how worthy he is. He started his own office. The next day, he saw a man walking into his office. He picked up the phone and pestered the man to come in and pretended he was talking to very famous people and cancelling meetings with presidents, etc. After he put down the phone several minutes later, he apologized to the man and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. As you can see, I'm a very busy man. What can I do for you?" The man smiled and said, "I'm from the telephone company. I'm here to hook up your phone."
A
preacher, newly called to a small country town, needed to mail a letter.
Passing a young boy on the street, the pastor asked where he could find the
post office. After getting his answer, the minister thanked the boy and said,
“If you’ll come to the community church this evening, you can hear me tell
everyone how to get to heaven.” “I don’t know, sir,” the boy replied. “but you
don’t even know how to get to the post office!”
A journalist assigned to the Middle Eastern
bureau took up an apartment
overlooking the Wailing Wall. Every day when she looks out, she sees an old man praying
vigorously. So, the
journalist goes down and introduces herself to the old man.
She
asks, "You come every day to this wall. How long have you done that and what are you praying for?"
The old man replies, "I
have come here to pray every day for 25 years. In the morning I pray for world peace and then
for the brotherhood of man.
I go home have a cup of tea and I come back
and pray for the eradication of illness and disease from the earth."
The journalist is amazed. "How does it
make you feel to come here
every day for 25 years and pray for these things?" she asks.
The old man looks at her sadly and spoke, "Like I'm talking to a wall."
