Question

Next morning the sleeper slap the breadcrumb into the dustbin how does the Lion contribute to the end of the story The Portrait of the lady

Answer 1

Explanation:

This story is adapted from a sermon

I heard given by a Unitarian minister that

was about how the idea of the coming

of the Messiah influenced a monastery.

I have put the story into a Buddhist

context by using the idea of Maitreya,

the future Buddha. The story is about a

dysfunctional monastery where the

monks, being human beings, fell into

complaining and criticizing each other

for every little thing. The nearby village

started reducing their support of the

monastery and over time, the very

continuance of the monastery was in

danger. The monks held another

meeting. Grievances were aired,

suggestions made, but as usual, no

resolutions were forthcoming. This time

they had invited a leader from the

village, an old woman known for her

wisdom.
