In the stillness of dawn, a monk embarked on his journey to meditate by a peaceful pond. As he settled on the grassy bank, he closed his eyes and let the tranquility envelop him.
In the gentle rustle of the reeds and the distant murmur of water, he sought clarity. But as his mind wandered, so did his thoughts, like ripples disrupting the pond's serene surface.
Hours passed, and the monk grew restless, grappling with his wandering mind. Just as frustration threatened to consume him, a frog leaped into the pond, breaking the silence with a splash.
Startled, the monk opened his eyes to see the pond's reflection shimmering with newfound clarity. In that moment, he realized that like the pond, his mind could only reflect the world's beauty when undisturbed by the ripples of distraction.
With a newfound understanding, the monk returned to his meditation, embracing the stillness within and without, like the peaceful pond reflecting the world's wonders.
