Capture Your Heart

“Nonsense! I just listen to the Buddhist stories to learn the lessons of life, which makes me feel better.”

“What? I can tell you stories if you want. I promise my stories are the best ones that you’ve never heard before.”

“Save it! Your stories are nothing to the Buddhist stories, okay?”
