Master's Wonders


Even A Snake Is Intoxicated
When Master Recites Poetry

◎By Residents Disciple Kuei May, Hsihu Formosa

 As I returned to my room, I found that just outside there was a snake lying lazily on a big rock, with its eyes open and tongue sticking out. I thought that it might be taking advantage of the sunny day after it had been raining for a while, and now it came out for some fresh air! It did not move at all when it saw me approached. So, we should both be at ease, I thought to myself.

 Once I got inside, I played the CD of Master reciting poetry, "Traces of The Past, that I had just borrowed. While I enjoyed listening to the poems, I did some tidying up in the house. As I went in and out of the house, I noticed that the "buddy snake had pointed its head towards my door and lain flat on the rock. Its eyes were closed and tongue was no longer sticking out. It stayed like that for quite some time, and remained motionless even while I cut grass and walked back and forth around it. Actually, I think it was intoxicated from hearing Master reciting poems.

 Later, the poems recitation stopped, and I did not play it again because my hands were dirty. The "buddy snake lifted its head and opened its eyes, as if it wanted to hear Master reciting poems again. After a while, when there was still no poem recitations, it slowly crawled away.

 The next morning, the moment I stepped out of the door, I saw the snake lying on the same big rock again, ready to enjoy more of Master's poem recitations!
