A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 98 excerpt)

from Pariyatti

There is an old story about a young seeker who asks the abbot of a nearby monastery for guidance on how to become enlightened. The abbot declines his request but sends him to a shoemaker in a nearby village. The abbot assures him that the shoemaker will help him achieve enlightenment. The young seeker went to find the shoemaker, with one caveat from the abbot: “Learn everything you can from the shoemaker, but don't ask him anything spiritual.”... narrated by Ian McCrorie · 2023 · 12 minutes 28 seconds View on the Pariyatti store All Pariyatti podcasts: pariyatti.org/pages/podcasts
