In the temple of the boundless sky, there lived a wise master known for his teachings on the freedom of flight. One day, a young disciple asked him, "Master, what is the secret to the freedom of flight?"
The master beckoned the disciple to follow him to a cliff overlooking a vast valley. As they stood there, feeling the breeze caress their faces, the master spoke softly, "To understand the freedom of flight, one must first release the weight of the world from their shoulders."
The disciple pondered this for a moment, then asked, "But master, how does one release the weight of the world?"
The master smiled and pointed to a bird soaring effortlessly across the sky. "Just as the bird does not cling to the branches it leaves behind, we must let go of attachments and fears that tether us to the ground."
The disciple nodded, understanding dawning in their heart. "Is that all, master? Is it truly that simple?"
The master chuckled and replied, "Ah, but simplicity is the essence of truth. Yet, remember, true freedom lies not only in the ability to soar high but also in the humility to return to the earth, knowing that even in flight, we are forever grounded by the interconnectedness of all things."
