Where did this come from? What's the moral?
A long time ago, there was a wise king named "Mirror". In his country, except him, all his subjects believe in the truth of Buddhism, as if they doubt the light of the sun and the moon, but believe in the faint light of fireflies. Therefore, the king often feels very depressed. He thought, "I must find a way to educate them, so that they can put aside evil spirits and turn over a new leaf!" " One day, the king suddenly called his servant and said, "Go and get all the people who were born blind in the countryside! ""So these courtiers were ordered to search all over the country separately. After a few days, they all came back with the blind people they found. Jing James Wang said quietly, "Great, you can give another elephant to those blind people!" " "Many subjects were very surprised when they heard the news. They didn't know what the king was going to do today, so everyone went to visit. King Jing secretly rejoiced: "Great, today is an opportunity to educate them." So he asked the blind to touch the elephant's body: some people touched the elephant's feet, some people touched the elephant's tail, and some people touched the elephant's head. The king asked them, "Have you seen an elephant?" The blind man insisted, "We all saw it!" The king asked again, "So what do you see? The blind man touched the elephant's foot and said, "King! Like a paint bucket. He touched the elephant's tail and said, "No, it's like a broom!" " ""Touching the elephant's belly, he said, "Like a drum!" He touched the elephant's back and said, "You are all wrong! Just like a tall coffee table! " The blind man touched the elephant's ear and argued, "It's like a dustpan." He touched the elephant's head and said, "Who said it was like a dustpan? Obviously like a basket! " The blind man touched the ivory and said, "King! As sharp as reality and horn. " ..... Because they have never seen what an elephant is, it is no wonder that what they touch and think is wrong. But they still held their own words and argued endlessly in front of the king. So the mirror king laughed and said, "blind man, blind man!" " Why argue about right and wrong? Do you think you are right after reading only a little? Alas! You have never seen the whole body of an elephant. You think you have got the whole picture of an elephant, just as people who have never heard of Buddhism think they have got the truth. Then the king asked the average tourist, "My subjects! What is the difference between believing in trivial and shallow evil theories and not studying the actual and overall truth of Buddhism and those blind people touching elephants? "From then on, all the subjects in the country put aside all evils, reformed in succession, and sincerely believed in Buddhism!
