This short Zen story follows a monk who seeks wisdom from a master on how to deal with suffering. Through the metaphor of the two arrows, the master teaches that while some pain is inevitable, resisting or resenting it only brings more suffering.
He encourages cultivating equanimity, mindfulness, and compassion as the path to inner freedom. This parable provides a valuable lesson on resilience - meeting life's challenges with courage and wisdom instead of anger. This video brings Zen wisdom to life.
