Imprisoning The Buddha
Once a merchant bearing about fifty rolls of cotton goods on his shoulder, out of fatigue, rested under the shade of a large stone Buddha. Since it was a hot day, the merchant instantly fell asleep. On waking up, he found that his goods were robbed.
He
immediately
took
it
to
the
notice
of
the
police.
Soon
a
judge
named
O-oka
arrived
to
hear
the
case.
The
stone
Buddha
must
have
robbed
the
goods," said
the
judge
“He
is
supposed
to
be
responsible
for
the
welfare
of
the
people,
but
has
failed
to
do
His
duty.
So
arrest
Him!"
ordered
the
judge.
So
the
Buddha
was
carried
to
the
court,
followed
by
a
curious
crowd
to
watch
the
arrest
of
the
stone
Buddha.
The
judge
flew
into
a
rage
on
seeing
the
gathering
laughing
and
joking
about
the
strange
judgement.
“Why are you laughing and joking? By doing so you have earned the contempt of the court. I strongly condemn it. All of you are under arrest and are liable to pay a fine!"
The gathered people took no time to apologise. The judge said, “I will remit the amount provided you each bring a roll of cotton within three days. If you fail you will be arrested!"
The merchant easily recognized his cotton roll among the gathered rolls and the thief was identified. The merchant got back his stolen goods and the cotton rolls were given back to the people.
