Oftentimes we are caught up in doing so much stuff in our daily lives like studying, working, worrying, trying to make more money, etc., that we don’t stop to appreciate life as it is. I am one of those people, I never stop, I’m always reading something, checking e-mail, online on Facebook, Twitter and it never stops.<\/p>\n

I recently found this little text on the RTVe blog about how many cows we have and I’m sharing it with you guys today.<\/p>\n

Buda est\u00e1 sentado en un bosque en compa\u00f1\u00eda de sus monjes cuando llega un campesino con aspecto muy apenado. Los monjes le preguntan qu\u00e9 le ocurre, y el hombre responde: \u201cSoy muy desgraciado, he perdido mis 12 vacas. \u00bfLas hab\u00e9is visto?\u201d
\n[Buda is sitting in the woods the in company of his monks when a very sad-looking peasant comes. The monks ask him what happened and this man answers: “I’m disgraced, I have lost my 12 cows. Have you seen them?]<\/em><\/p>\n

Los monjes responden negativamente y el granjero contin\u00faa en su busca.
\n[The monks answer negatively and the farmer carries on his search.]<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAmigos\u201d, dice el Buda a sus disc\u00edpulos cuando el campesino se ha marchado. \u201cSois afortunados; no ten\u00e9is ninguna vaca\u201d.
\n[“Friends”, says the Buda to his disciples when the peasant has left. “You are fortunate; you don’t have any cows.”]<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCuantas m\u00e1s cosas hayamos de cuidar, cuantas m\u00e1s preocupaciones y proyectos tengamos en marcha, menos espacio habr\u00e1 en nuestra vida para relajarnos y ser felices\u201d.
\n[The more things we look after, the more worries and projects we have going on, less space there will be in our lives to relax and be happy”.]<\/em><\/p>\n

So now I ask you, my dear reader: \u00bfCu\u00e1ntas vacas tienes en este momento?<\/p>\n
