La Sencillez del Corazón es un cuento que nos enseña que es más valiosa la pureza del corazón que la fama y la erudición.

En épocas antiguas vivían dos ermitaños, cada uno de ellos en una pequeña isla cerca de la costa en un lugar de la India. Uno de ellos era un joven que rápidamente se había hecho célebre por su elocuencia y su gran conocimiento de las escrituras sagradas. Muchos peregrinos acudían hasta su isla buscando consejo y sabias palabras.
El otro era un anciano sencillo y de un corazón muy puro, quien solo se había preocupado a través de su vida por mantenerse aislado del mundo. Sus escasos contactos con la gente del pueblo cercano eran para buscar alimentos, pero no ejercía el arte de la palabra. Por lo tanto, nadie lo conocía como un espíritu elevado....
The Story of Buddha and His Evil Cous
Although the Buddha was recognized in his time as the most just and wise man on earth
Land but that did not stop it from having enemies envious of its fame and its very wisdom
He treated them all with the same compassion as his faithful
followers for neither anger nor resentment could fit in his heart
Among the characters who watched him with suspicion was Devadatta his cousin who constantly
He tried to discredit him and conspired against him
But since the Buddha ignored his constant attacks and likewise the people did not pay attention to him
oo much attention seeing it as an example of resentment one day he decided that the
The only way to calm his spirit was to kill the Buddha
That's how one occasion she followed him during one of his usual walks
The field where he used to meditate and connect with nature
At a certain point the
path that the Buddha was walking along led into some lonely ravines
Understanding that this was his chance the wicked Devadatta stepped forward waiting for him
In a bend where at the top of the ravine stood a huge rock
As soon as he saw his hated relative approaching he pushed the rock into his path to steal from him
Life but the huge stone shifted falling to the
side of the Buddha thus thwarting his attempt
Although the Buddha observed what had happened he continued
calmly on his way a gentle smile on his lips
Some days later the Buddha was walking through the village with
several of his disciples and suddenly he met his stingy cousin
He looked at him intimidated by the thought that he might face retaliation
But in return the Buddha greeted him with affection as if the
terrible attack had never existed unable to understand this attitude
Devadatta stopped before the Buddha and asked
him —Venerable are you not angry with me
Of course
not dear cousin Filled with confusion
and amazement Devadatta insisted But why
Another person in your place would surely be very annoyed
Looking peacefully the Buddha answered
There is a very simple explanation
You are no longer the one who threw the stone and I am not the one who was there when it was thrown
