In a well-known Zen story, two monks are walking along a country road. They eventually come to a place where they need to cross a river. By the riverside they see a young woman who also wants to cross over to the other side, but the current is too heavy. The older of the monks offers to carry her across, and she gratefully accepts the offer. On the other side they bid farewell and the two monks continue their walk.
Take the load off your shoulders
Like the monk in the old Zen story, we are carrying a lot of mental burdens that just cause us pain and suffering.
