The Monk who bought a Ferrari !



This is interesting because the monk I am talking about was not born with a silver spoon or ever had any car and wasn’t he waiting for something tragic to happen in his life, so to go on the path of truth seeking. He never had any plans to travel to Far East in search any kind of enlightenment.

I believe the far most he went to east was up to Belgium that too only once during his childhood, holidaying  on his grand parents expenses.

But this monk was really a funny guy , lived all his life in the service of others around him ; opted to surrender to the promise made by him in the church to keep his wife always happy, devoting to the responsibility to get the best education to his kids.He was committed to his social life,never missed to pay his taxes, always  submitted his bills on time.

My monk lived this amazing pattern of life for almost sixty years of his life; people say about him that he always used to meet every one with grace on his face. He was known to be the man of his words. He lived all his life as a doer and was extremely satisfied with his way of living the life.

At last when he was about to retire from the office he checked for his pension funds and found that by that time he had saved enough money to  buy a Ferrari , the perfect  gift for his young son who was about to get graduate next month……..

....i think the color was RED... :)
