A Monk's Forbidden Love - Discovering Love and Life's Purpose World's Showcase

Once there was a
young monk named Dharma who lived in a remote monastery nestled in the
mountains. He had dedicated his life to the teachings of Buddha and spent his
days in quiet contemplation and meditation.

 

One day, as Dharma
was walking through the forest, he came across a beautiful young woman named
Maya. She was lost and in need of help, and Dharma could not resist offering
his assistance. As he guided her back to the main path, he found himself drawn
to her gentle nature and kind spirit.

 

Over the next few
weeks, Dharma and Maya met frequently, and they soon fell deeply in love.
However, Dharma knew that as a monk, he was forbidden from pursuing a romantic
relationship. He was torn between his love for Maya and his commitment to his
spiritual practice.

 

Dharma sought the
advice of his mentor, the wise old abbot of the monastery. The abbot listened
patiently to Dharma's dilemma and offered him some sage advice. He reminded
Dharma of the importance of detachment and advised him to let go of his
attachment to Maya, as it was a hindrance to his spiritual progress.

 

Dharma took the
abbot's words to heart and decided to renounce his love for Maya. It was a
difficult decision, but he knew that it was necessary for his spiritual growth.
He continued to see Maya, but he kept his distance and focused on his
meditation practice.

 

Years passed, and
Dharma became an accomplished monk, revered for his wisdom and compassion. He
remained celibate, but he never forgot his love for Maya. When he heard that
Maya had fallen ill, he knew that he had to go to her.

 

He traveled to her
village and found her lying in bed, weak and frail. He sat by her side and held
her hand, offering her comfort and solace in her final moments. Maya looked up
at Dharma, and in her eyes, he saw the reflection of his own love.

 

As Maya passed
away, Dharma realized that his love for her had been a pure and selfless love,
one that had strengthened his spiritual practice and brought him closer to
enlightenment. He returned to his monastery with a renewed sense of purpose and
continued his meditation practice with even greater dedication, grateful for
the lessons he had learned through his love for Maya.

 

Well, the entire
story of this monk is based on his own purpose, this story isn’t real, but
might be real in the whole stories of the monks out there.

You might be
wondering, why would I end the story in a complete sadness, or you might be
thinking that I am taking a decision against the relationship.

Well, this segment
of the podcast is going to stand in my entire life as a mirror reflection.

Most of the people
whom I encountered in my 28 years of life has just asked one question. What did
you achieve by practicing the monk methods? Did you really spent your time
being a monk? How did the monk practice made you the person you are today.

In this episode, I
would like to reveal all that hidden secrets of my life, which was hidden in
the grey areas during my interactions.

My childhood has
been so tough, my life has fetched for a true friend who could understand me
like I understand their pain and emotions.

I searched for a
balanced friendship where equality, respect and love exist.

My struggles were
many, it is not an easy thing to be a writer, because writers aren’t good
friends to anyone.

Since we spend our
time alone, thinking about the society, thinking about bringing some change
among the people around us, we lose ourselves in the process.

The same had
happened with me.

I found no
friends, but I made enemies in the process for no reason.

My kindness,
genuineness were treated as my weaknesses.

Everyone has
abused me from my adolescence to teenage.

Then I have
realized that I am some kind of species that is mistakenly entered on to this
earth.
