Even Tibetan monks can be wrong

I just saw a program that showed the preparation of a Tibetan Monastery for the visit of a high ranking monk. The monk responsible for the possession that was to accompany his arrival was in a foul mood because there were not enough junior monastic's to form the correct configuration for the procession.

By failing to accept the given, even though his desire was not met, he failed to see what he needed. What the monk needed was to see that the visit of the master monastic would be better served by a different procession. One that breaks away from the old ways and is in harmony with the reality of the moment.

By failing to accept the given he had lost the opportunity to pass on the knowledge about eternal harmony, and how we should all allow ourselves to listen to it every once in a while.

By failing to accept the given he missed the opportunity to show the junior monastic’s how the journey is more important than the destination.

The festival that everybody was expecting, and the spiritual value of the occasion was rather changed. And even though the change is different from what could have been if the Tibetan Monk saw what he needed, rather than missed what he wanted, the reality is as much an opportunity for harmony as it was before the opportunity had been lost.

And therein we find the truth that is constant to all reality. Even though there will never be any single reality, and even though we may search and search to find the constant that we yearn, the opportunity to find the universal harmony is always there to find.
