Jafar I have a zen story about detachment for you lol
A monk arrives at the entrance of a palace. She is a known holy woman, so she is brought to the king, who asks the monk what she wants.
“ I would like to sleep in this hotel for the night, “ says the monk.
The king is rather taken aback at this unexpected lack of respect.
“ This is not a hotel, it is my palace ! “ he says haughtily.
The monk asks, “ Who owned this place before you ?”
The king folds his arms across his chest. “ My father. I am heir to the throne, “ he declares.
“ Is he here right now ? “
“ He is not. He is dead. What is the meaning of this ? “ says the king.
“ And before your father, who was the owner ?”
“ HIS father, “ the king shouts.
The monk nods. “ Ah,” she says, “ so people who come to this place, stay here for a while, and then continue their journey. Sounds like a hotel to me.”
