THE FOOLISH SON!!!!!!

-Once upon a time there lived a poor mother with her only son who always looked after him as if he were in pain, unfortunately she got a very foolish boy, all the neighbors used to tease him and make fun of him. One day his mother sent him out to take the cow grazing. when he was about to leave, his mother told him that you should take of your shoes when you cross the river. 
             Nodding his head the son left with the cow after a while he reached the bank of the river, remembering what his mother told him, he took off his shoes and then he looked at at the cow's hooves and said you must take your shoes as well. he said this several times. but the cow just stared at him with dumb look. he became angry and raised his axe and tore off the cows hooves. When he returned home he said to his mother that "I took of my my shoe when I crossed the river, but our cow didn't. so, using all my strength I took off the cows shoes but the cow refused to cross the river and now the cow is just lying there." The mother could hardly believe her ears and went to see for herself. She was speechless with surprise. From then on, she went along with her son whenever she wanted him to do something...  

ཉམས་ལེན་བྱེད་རྒྱུ་མ་དྲན་ཉི་ཤུ་ཐལ།
བྱེད་དོ་བྱེད་དོའི་ངང་ལ་ཉི་ཤུ་ཐལ།
མ་བྱུང་མ་བྱུང་ཟེར་ཞིང་བཅུ་ལྷག་ཐལ།
མི་ཚེ་སྟོང་པ་ཟད་པའི་རྣམས་ཐར་ཡིན།

       THE LOVE OF A MOTHER 

My first teacher of compassion was my mother. she was illiterate, a simple farmer's wife, but I can think of no better example of a person profoundly imbued with the spirit of compassion. Everyone who met her was touched by her gentleness and warmheartedness. This was in contrast with my father, who was quite hot-tempered, even smacked us children occasionally. As my mother's son, I was fortunate enough to receive a special close of her affection, and I am sure this has helped me to be more compassionate myself. As a young child, though, I may have abused her kindness from time to time. when sh used to carry me on her shoulders, I would take hold of her ears with my hands. When I wanted her to go right I would tug on her right ear. And when I wanted to go left, I would pull on her left ear. If ever she went wrong way, I would make a great fuss.
Of course she was pretending not to understand my signals, and she tolerated my noisy outbursts without getting cross.In fact I cannot remember my mother ever losing her tamper with anyone she met.
               Doubtless this love of a mother for her child is largely biological. The maternal instinct is very strong 
, and helps a mother overlook her own physical discomfort and exhaustion when caring for her child. This self-sacrifice has nothing to do with her level of education, her understanding of ethics, or anything else, but is quite natural.

IF there is a solution,

Then what need is there for dejection?

If there is no solution,

Then what point is there in dejection?

        -means If a problem has a solution, then it should not be a cause for excessive worry. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, we should simply work with determination to reach the solution. If after careful consideration we conclude that there is no solution to be found, we gain nothing by worrying. Instead, the sooner we accept that the problem cannot be rectified, the easier it will be to carry on with our lives. Either way there is no point in excessive worrying! Not only does it do us no good, but it can severely harm us by making us weaker, or worse, it can lead to depression.
