Two Buddhists are walking on a muddy road. As soon as arriving at a shoal, they see a beautiful girl who is hesitating to go ahead. Looking carefully, they find that it is her silky dress that stops her walking across it.

 

"Come here! I can carry you on my back!” The senior fellow apprentice says.

 

After they go across the shoal, he let her down and continuously walks with his junior fellow apprentice.

 

Following the senior, he is pretty upset but says nothing. In the evening, upon they reach the temple, he can never hold his feeling and says to his senior that: “We are monks, so we have to stick on to the disciplines and never to be too close with women. How can you carry that lady on your back?”

 

The senior replied: “Oh, that lady. I have already forgotten that matter long before. How come you still hold it in your heart?”
