Buddhist Story: The Difference between a Horse and a Donkey. Once upon a time, there was a donkey. Its owner made it live with horses and they were always together in terms of food, drink and accommodation. Over time, the donkey's fur and bray were almost like those of a horse. Later, the donkey left the horses and went back to the donkeys. It lived and ate with its fellows again. Its fur's color and features returned to normal, and its bray became the unpleasant donkey sound again. It stayed like this until it grew old and no longer looked like a horse. Words of Wisdom: Mud accompanied by roses gets the fragrance of roses. A person's sense of right and wrong, good and evil is shaped by the living environment. So shouldn't we choose carefully?
