A young student of Zen happened to break a precious vase belonging to his teacher. When he heard his teacher's footsteps, he quickly held the broken vase behind him. As the teacher walked up to him, he asked, "Why does one die, master?"
"It's natural," said the teacher. "Everything has a beginning and an end. Everything has just so long to live and then has to die."
The student held out the pieces of the broken vase and said, "The time for your vase to die had come."
Dimdima is the Sanskrit word for ‘drumbeat’. In olden days, victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums or any important news to be conveyed to the people used to be accompanied with drumbeats.
