A 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 for their bus. The buses were running late, and a lot of time
passed.
Finally, one woman turned to
the other and said, "You know, I've been sitting here so long, my butt
fell asleep!'.
The other woman turned to her
and said "I know! I heard it snoring!"

During
a performance for the high school talent show at the local theatre, a hole was
cracked in the stage floor. Subsequent acts managed to avoid the damaged area
until little Freddy, juggling bowling pins, accidentally stepped through the
hole up to his knee.
He apologized to the audience for his clumsiness. But a
heckler in the back of the theatre shouted:
"Don't worry, Freddy! It's just a stage you're going
through!"
Q. Who was the greatest

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!"
