This story really does work just like we are told in religions and cultivation ways, with the good being rewarded and the not so good, well, not being rewarded in the same way. But here it becomes even more clear that the real good is the character that a person decides is right. Daniel gives us the simple lesson that even the simplest actions done without prior thoughts show if you truly have good things inside of you.

Just a great little story to contemplate. How often are we are so eager to justifying ourselves. This man showed the true nature of forbearance. Thank you Michael for this little tale of wisdom.

All of these stories we get from China speak of incredible virtue in the common people. If there is one thought that should be had by each of us everyday, it is to strive to this kind of virtue. Li Shi Mian may have nearly died, but his virtuous actions counted for much more, and truly did the job of blessing his life. Thank you Donna for this wonderful contribution.

Please enjoy our story by Daniel. Our Chinese sources are full of these lovely and learning contributions. If so many people of ancient times were truly like this, then it is easier to understand how they achieved such magnificent accomplishments.

This is a new kind of story for ATW. Here we get an insight into how they wrote about such things as nuns and monks. This Saint certainly has a beautifully pure background, but its the thing she does with a flame that really let us see her purity. Thanks Daniel for this story and I hope we got the pronunciation of all those names right. Please write to us and let us know if we were astray in this regard

This Arabic tale is good listening. I especially like the lengths that were made to find the truth of the situation. Many of our tales speak of the great virtues displayed by the noble men and women of the time. How great it would be to have such noble men and women taking the high positions of our societies now days. I hope our children can be brought up on these tales so that they may take such positions in the future. Thank you Patrick for this tale.
