A student once asked the Zen master, "How can I find peace?"
The master replied, "Can you hear the sound of the mountain stream?"
The student listened intently but heard nothing.
The master then said, "Empty your mind of all distractions and listen again."
The student listened once more, and this time, the sound of the stream filled his ears.
The master smiled and said, "There is peace in the sound of the stream, just as there is peace in the stillness of your mind. When you learn to quiet your thoughts and listen to the world around you, you will find the peace you seek."
