The old Master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of
salt in a glass of water and then to drink it.

"How does it taste?" the Master asked.
"Awful," spat the apprentice.

The Master chuckled and then asked the young man to take another
handful of salt and put it in the lake. The two walked in silence to
the nearby lake and when the apprentice swirled his handful of salt
into the lake, the old man said, "Now drink from the lake."

As the water dripped down the young man's chin, the Master asked, "How
does it taste?"
"Good!" remarked the apprentice.
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the Master.
"No," said the young man.

The Master sat beside this troubled young man, took his hands, and said,
"The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain
in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount we taste
the 'pain' depends on the container we put it into. So when you are in
pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things
......

Stop being a glass. Become a lake!"
