Fearless Buddhist Monk

During the civil wars in Japan, an invading army
would sweep into a town and take control. In a particular village, every villager fled just before the army has arrived over there- everybody except the Buddhist monk. General was curious about this old fellow, he went to the temple to see for
himself what kind of man this monk was. When the general wasn't treated with the deference and submissiveness to which he was accustomed, the general burst into anger and he shouted on monk "You fool, don't you realize you are standing in front of a man who could kill you without blinking an eye!" as he reached out his sword. But despite this threat, the monk seemed expressionless. The monk replied calmly "And do you realize, that you are standing in front of a man who can be run
through without blinking an eye?"
Moral:- The General Said - Don't you realize you are standing in front of a man who could kill you without blinking an eye!
Buddhist Monk Replied - And do you realize, You are standing in front of a man who can be run through without blinking an eye!
The above conversation tells that the General is so brave that he is not afraid of killing the monk. Whearas the Buddhist Monk is so Fearless that he is not even afraid of being killed. This clearly tells who is fearless and who is more Powerful.
