In ancient times, in an emerald-green valley caressed by willow trees whose leaves danced with whispers on gentle breezes lived two brothers named Chado and Sato. They were raised under the guidance of their wise Buddhist grandfather who preached about impermanence (Anicca), suffering (Dukkha), and non-self (Anatta). Despite this understanding, both brothers harbored a deep attachment to transient things, be it dreams for tomorrow, or possessions they accumulated.
One fine morning as dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and pink, Chado found an exquisite stone beneath one such willow tree that shimmered with iridescent colours reflecting all around them; a sight so enchanting it was easy to lose oneself within its beauty. Overwhelmed by desire, he clutched the gem tightly in his hands and planned to keep this object of visual delight as part of their inheritance, a meaningful symbol, that would forever remind him (and perhaps others) about family unity through generations.
Sato gaze fell upon a delicate butterfly, its wings etched with nature's intricacy and carefree flight; this too became an object he desired to possess as proof of his own free spirit that danced among the wildflowers surrounding their home symbolizing freedom from worldly constraints.
Their grandfather noticed these attachments forming around them, noticing how each brother had begun chasing after a form or concept they believed would anchor peace in uncertain times ahead and warned of possible suffering for those who clung too tight to such illusions: "My dear boys," he said calmly but with an urgent tone that betokened his deep concern, “The mind's lustful grasp upon these objects, be it stone or creature—can blind you from the present moment’s true essence. To cling is to invite suffering for we cannot hold on forever; all must eventually return as whispers in the wind."
Yet his words seemed like ripples lost among pebbles, and both brothers remained steadfastly rooted within their desires despite understanding intellectually what he advised. The stone's lustre had begun to dim ever so slightly with each passing day; its allure faded as the natural world continued in a cycle of change that no gem could resist a cruel reminder from nature itself, perhaps, about impermanence and loss which they struggled not yet to accept within their own hearts.
Months went by until one sweltering afternoon when calamity struck; an unexpected storm ravaged the valley as if angry at its inhabitants’ disregard for natural rhythms: trees were uprooted, homes damaged and both Chado's stone and Sato's butterfly, once cherished objects of beauty now soaked by heavy rains were lost to nature.
In the aftermath they saw how their attachment led not only them into suffering during this time but also a deep sense of emptiness without these anchors in life that had been both precious and fleeting, all dissolved back into Earth's cycle—an embodiment of non-self: everything was transient.
Their grandfather saw their transformation unfold with silent satisfaction; he knew the storm symbolized what happens when one clings so tightly to objects or thoughts without recognizing that true peace and happiness arise from within, not by holding on but rather letting go—even as they acknowledge these experiences' beauty in impermanence.
From this point forward Chado and Sato no longer sought shelter behind material belongings nor dreamt of an immutable self outside their interconnected nature with all things; instead they began to understand that suffering stems from attachment when one tries desperately cling onto the illusionary stability these objects promised a lesson taught by loss, a testament borne out in reality.
They learned through deep meditation and mindful practice how understanding impermanence liberates them; they discovered their inner Buddhas with each breath taken without attachment to thoughts or sensations that come into play throughout the day recognizing non-self within themselves, and began a journey towards enlightenment by releasing all forms of clinging.
The brothers found peace not in objects but instead through embracing life's flow, and understanding their minds like rivers; as they let go attachment dissolved suffering that once seemed so profoundly rooted, like mist disperses under the morning sun’s warmth—and allowed them to thrive beyond transient desires for material or immaterial things.
Thus Chado'shone and Sato, who were both lost in their attachments before suffered greatly from loss when they clung too tightly onto objects of desire; now embraced impermanence as the very core lesson that Buddhism teaches: suffering arises because we resist change, clinging to things beyond our control.
By releasing this attachment, Chado and Sato discovered true contentment resting within themselves alone where it could not be taken away by fate’s whims or time's relentless march towards renewal; they found their peace amidst the impermanence of life, the root cause unravelled, and so understood, that suffering dissolves when we cease to cling.
So this Fable serves as a reminder, like an ancient lotus pond reflects skies above: attachments form clouds obscuring our view; by letting them dissipate through mindful practice and recognizing the transient nature of all things. Whether physical or immaterial in thought we come to understand that suffering arises. By letting go, and accepting this impermanence, we discover true happiness not anchored upon objects but instead within us as our own Buddha-nature shines forth; for when attachment and clinging are abandoned, the root of all pain dissipates like morning mist beneath life's sunshine.

Food for thought, or the abandonment of what thought brings into being, when it disturbs the stillness; #Duality and Non-Duality, or to hold that both, or neither, are true, are all false views, as expounded by the #Buddha, whose only view, was that all views are false, or not entirely accurate. The view that the Universe and Time is Infinite and Eternal, That it is Finite and Limited in Timespan, or to hold that Both are True, or that Neither are True, are all false views. Awakening only arises with the abandonment of such views. To teach any of the above as a single discipline, is but to teach how to see that which is but one side of a single coin.

Please watch the first of my YouTube deleted/banned videos of onde of my forbidden talks on www.ajarnspencer.com/Forbidden-Talks/The-Greatest-…
A slightly Provocative talk, which will make many people agree ,and many people disagree. I'm quite sure that this Vlog will cause various people to flame this video with acidic comments on my YouTube Channel or direct attacks on my person. When are used to be a Buddhist monk, I learned that even the Buddha and even Jesus Christ himself, both of whom were truthful and with good intention, had enemies. Some of those enemies even tried to kill them. And in the case of Jesus, They did kill him. This world is full of fake news smothering real news, and real news is also fake because all news is opinionated. This talk is also opinionated. You make your own decisions and your own opinions. I'm just sharing what I personally believe. If you don't want to believe the same, that's quite up to you. Because nobody really knows what's going on.
