The Way to Prison

A Zen priest was jailed several times after he was caught stealing small items from his neighbors. A friend offered to provide the priest what he needed so that the priest would no longer be tempted to steal.

"You do not understand," the priest replied. "I steal so that I can return to jail and bring the message about the Way to the prisoners."

ZEN STORY

If the Truth cannot be found in prison, it cannot be found anywhere else.
