She served a few slices of toast on the table, not scorched normally but charred like charcoal. I sat and watched the slices of bread and waited to see if anyone noticed their abnormality and spoke up.

But my father only ate his piece of bread and asked me about his homework and school routines as usual. I don't remember what I said to him that day, but I remember hearing my mother apologize to him for burning a bread.

And I will never forget what my father said to my mother: 'Baby, I like burnt bread.'

That night, I went over to wish my father goodnight and asked if he really liked burnt bread. My father put his arm around my shoulder and said:

'My mother worked very hard all day and I was very tired. A slice of burnt bread won't hurt anyone, but do you know what really hurts someone else? The harsh words of criticism. '

Then he continued: 'You know, life is full of imperfections and imperfect people. He is also pretty bad at a lot of things, like he can't remember birthdays or anniversaries like some others.

What he learned over the years is learning to accept the mistakes of others and to choose to support their differences. That's the most important key to creating a healthy, mature and sustainable relationship.

'Next week I will go. In the long distance, I have asked people to weave a few pairs of grass shoes, after taking my shoes, I will leave. '

The teacher pensive for a while and said: 'If not this way, I will ask the followers to donate shoes for you.'

Do not know how many monks told so many people but that day, there were several dozen people brought shoes to donate, filling an entire corner of the meditation room.

The next morning, someone brought an umbrella to give to the monk.

The Venerable asked: 'Why do creditors give umbrellas?'

'The monk said that the monk was going away, that on the way there might be heavy rain, he told me if I could give the monk an umbrella?'

But that day, not only that person brought an umbrella to give. By the evening, there are about 50 umbrellas of all kinds in the meditation hall.

After evening class ended, the monk walked into the monk's meditation room: 'Are grass shoes and umbrellas enough?'

'Enough already!' - The Venerable pointed at a pile of umbrellas and tall grass shoes like a small mountain in the corner of the room. 'Too much teacher, I can't take it all away.'

'That can't be helped,' the monk said. 'It was raining sometimes sunny, no one could foresee how far I would have to go, how many times I had to rain and wind. What if the turf shoes wear off, oh well, what should I do then? '

Pausing for a while, he continued: 'On the way, you will surely meet many rivers and streams, tomorrow I will have a word to ask the followers to take a boat, take it with you .'

At this time, the new monk understood his teacher's intentions. The Venerable knelt on the ground, saying: 'The disciple will depart now and will not bring anything.'
