FYI: Zen stories are short parables which capsure the essence of Zen philosophy. recently, i've found myself as a character in them...
1. One day, after an intensive training session, Young Mega and 4Higher were relaxing with a discourse on hard versus soft. For example, what technique would win out of Sanda versus Tai Chi Chu'an.
"soft always beats hard", said 4Higher, "when you use the opponents own strength against them".
"But what if someone is too strong for the person to yield, and they connect a blow? Soft loses", argued Young Mega.
"that is a question of technique", replied 4Higher. "Look, which is harder, water or rock? Rock, but water can break and shape rock, as you see in nature."
Young Mega smiled and replied, "I'm pretty sure it's paper that beats rock".
2. After an evening meal following a long sparring session, Young Mega was beratting his training partner with claims of how strong his Kung Fu had become.
4Higher calmly set down his tea, turned to Mega and said, "it is not the squawking of its voice nor the flapping of it's wings that makes the eagle deadly".
Mega laughed and said ,"na, but its funny as!"

I watched you trying to Kung Fu magic the money out of the ATM on Saturday. That was pretty awesome!
