       Key to Success

       A horse was constantly harassed by a wolf which wanted to catch
       it as prey. The horse felt so desperate that it turned to a
       hunter for help, “Could you kill the wolf, please?” The hunter
       said, “I will help you under one condition; you must allow me to
       ride on you. In addition, I will put a rein around your neck and
       a bit in your mouth.” The horse said, “Fine, I will do anything
       as long as you help me!” The hunter rode on the horse and killed
       the wolf.
       The horse asked, “Now that the wolf is dead, can you take the
       rein and bit off me, please?” The hunter replied,” Absolutely
       not! Now you have become my horse and you’re under my control.”
       The same thing happens in our society. When we ask other people
       for help, we become under their control. When practising
       Buddhism, we should learn to be self-reliant, independent, and
       confident. Those who persist in learning Buddhism will show
       great diligence, while those who fail to practise Buddhism will
       lack self-confidence. For those who change their mind
       constantly, it will be difficult for them to practise Buddhism
       well.
       Remember, when practising Buddhism, we should learn to be
       self-reliant and take our own initiative. Those who can persist
       in learning Buddhism will be empowered with diligence.
