A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 98 excerpt)
Story 98 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
There is an old story about a young seeker who asks the
abbot of a nearby monastery for guidance on how to become
enlightened. The abbot declines his request but sends him to a
shoemaker in a nearby village. The abbot assures him that the
shoemaker will help him achieve enlightenment. The young
seeker went to find the shoemaker, with one caveat from the
abbot: “Learn everything you can from the shoemaker, but
don't ask him anything spiritual.”...
