两千五百年前，伊索曾经讲过这样的故事在一个晴朗的早晨，一座山里的小村子中，有一个老人和他的小孙子，牵了一匹骡子，要到山谷中一个较大城镇的市集去贩卖。两人把骡子刷洗的乾乾净净，打扮的漂漂亮亮，然後兴奋地顺著陡坡走下来。过了不久，他们经过站立一些闲人的路旁。
「你们看看那对傻瓜，」一个路人指著说，「放著舒适的骡背下坐，却宁愿用脚走。」
老人听了之险，觉得那人的话很有道理。於是两人就骑上骡背，继续往前走去。

So this is my first talk here for about three months, but of course, there's not just ah...as they used to say not all appearance get old for monks...no beard no skiddel at all. I was at a monastery down at serpentine, where we're still teaching the other monks and the novices, the anakara and also the sisters from Dhammasara. I have been travelling a little bit at the very beginning of the rain retreat to Sydney for the conference of the psychologist in the end another conference in mental health in Singapore, in the middle doing something good for Australia with a big conference with all the leaders of Australia, trying to get some good spiritual vibe to the people who run our country.
