There was a monk with patched clothes passing by farm land. He saw a scarecrow wearing nice clothes and decided to take down the clothes to wear himself. At the moment, he took down the clothes, a man on horseback rushed up to him and asked the monk loudly:
“If you take the clothes from the scarecrow, what can the scarecrow do?”
The monk did not know how to respond. After many years of practicing, the monk became enlightened, and he realized the horseback rider was Avalokita (Kuan-Se-Um-Po-Sal).
If you were that monk, how would you respond after you were questioned by the Horseback Rider?
