Dimdima
Online Children's Magazine from India
A Zen student said to his teacher, " Master, I have an ungovernable temper. Help me get rid of it."
" You have something very strange," said the teacher.
"Show it to me."
" Right now I cannot show it to you."
"Why not?"
" It arises suddenly."
" Then it cannot be your own true nature," said the teacher, "if it were, you would be able to show it to me at any time. Why are you allowing something that is not yours to trouble your life?"
Thereafter whenever the student felt his temper rising he remembered his teacher's words and
checked his anger. In time, he developed a calm and placid temperament.
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.
