A student came back from
town and told his master of an incredible sight he had never seen before. The
student said “I went to the local fair and I saw a man use his powers of
concentration to bend a spoon. It was very impressive!” The very unimpressed
master said, “Hmm, how are his powers of concentration when he is not trying to
bend a spoon? Does he maintain such mindfulness throughout the day? If he can, that would truly be impressive.”
