猎狗和兔子的故事

今天瑜伽老师说了个猎狗和兔子的故事。
一个猎人他养了一只跑得很快的猎狗，他很骄傲，每次都带它去打猎。有一天，他看见一只兔子，然后他叫猎狗赶快去抓它。半小时后，猎狗回来却没抓到兔子，于是猎人责怪它跑得不够快，它的腿比兔子长那么多，为什么会比兔子慢。猎狗说：主人你不能这样说，我跑那么快只是为了要寻找我的午餐，但兔子是为了它的生命而逃跑，它一定会跑得很快。
这故事要传达的意义是，我们不能用自己的标准来衡量其他人，每个人都有他自己的生活模式，想法，及不同的人生观。当我们把自己放在别人的立场去着想时，那我们将会更体谅他人，而自己也会变得更开心。

A hunter brought his dog for hunting one day, he saw a rabbit and ask his dog to chase for it. After quite awhile, the dog came back with nothing. The hunter was angry and commented that the dog has longer legs but failed to hunt the rabbit. However the dog answered: Yes, my legs are longer, but the rabbit would run faster than I could, as he needs to save his life…

The moral of this story is to remind us not to evaluate others by our own judgement, as everyone is brought up differently with different value and principle. Put yourself in others’ shoe, and you will understand others and be more considerate.
