Three Types of Doors

Long ago there was a prince, he asked the teacher a scholar: "How is my life's journey." The teacher replied: "In the journey of your life, you will meet with three kinds of doors, every door is written above a line of words, when you see it you will surely understand what I say. "

Finally the prince began his journey. Not long later, he met with the door first. Above the door is written "Change the World." Prince then thought, in accordance with the ideals of me I had to change the world, change the things I do not like to see. Finally he did in accordance with the plan. Several years later he met again with the second door. Written thereon "Changing Others." The prince thought, I am with my brilliant mind will teach others, so they can be more developed. In the end he met with a third door. Written on it "Change Yourself." Prince thought, I'll change my character to be even better. Finally he did it all.

One day, the prince was reunited with his teacher, he said: "I've found three types of doors in my life journey, which I understand is" Changing world "is better to change the existing everyone in this world. Instead of changing the other person is better to change ourselves. "Scholar teacher who after hearing his words with a smile replied:" Maybe it's better you walk back, with careful see clearly the three types of door. "

Prince with a half-believing half sanctions walked back again. From a distance he saw the door of the third, but apparently not the same as when he came, from this side look above the door read, "Trying to Accept Yourself." At this moment the prince understood at the time he changed himself he felt life was very difficult and suffer because he can not recognize and accept her own deficiencies, he was always pursuing the ideals that are beyond its capabilities, which cause he could not see the advantages it has. At this moment he became aware of and respect ourselves. Prince continued on his way to walk back. He saw the door of the both the words "Attempting to Accept Others." At this moment he understood why he was so upset, because he can not recognize and accept differences of opinion between himself to others, he always could not understand the difficulties of others. At this time realized he should gracefully accept others. Prince to continue his journey, he saw the door first written above it "Trying to Receive World Here." At this moment the prince understands why when he changed the world he's always failed, because he refused to accept that many things in this world can not be done by human hands, thus making he was not doing good things she could do. Now he understands that the world must accept for what it is.

At this time the scholars were waiting for her teacher and told the prince: "I think, now you know what it means to live in peace and quiet?." (Minghui School / hui)
