A monk walked into a lively bar. The moment people saw a monk enter the place, everything suddenly stopped! The music stopped playing, and the couples stopped dancing.<\/p>\n
The bar owner came over and asked:
\u201cVenerable sir, what would you like to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n
The monk replied:
\u201cOh dear, I am a monk. How could I drink anything in a place like this? Actually, I have something quite urgent. I was wondering if you could let me use the restroom?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell\u2026 I\u2019m afraid that might not be possible\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not? I can pay.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh no, how could I possibly take money from you! But the problem is that on the way to the restroom there\u2019s a statue of a girl whose only clothing is a grape leaf\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s no problem. Things like that may affect ordinary people like you, but for me it means nothing. Whether it\u2019s there or not makes no difference!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn that case, please go right ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Five minutes later, the monk came back, thanked the owner, and asked:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something I\u2019m curious about. When I first entered the bar, all the noise suddenly stopped. Then, when I was walking to the restroom, everything went silent again. Why was that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The bar owner smiled and said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, the first time was because everyone was surprised to see a monk walk into a bar.<\/p>\n
And the second time\u2026 was because that grape leaf is actually the main power switch<\/strong> for the whole bar.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A monk walked into a lively bar.
