Question

On a dark night, a monk(僧人)was walking in a village to look for the real Buddha(佛). Then the monk saw a ray of light from the dark. One villager nearby said, “Blind Sun (a blind man), is coming.”

The monk felt completely puzzled. He asked Blind Sun, “Excuse me, are you really a blind man?” “Yes, I have been blind since I came to this world.” The blind man replied. The monk continued asking, “Since you could not see anything, why are you still holding a lantern(灯)?” The blind man said, “It is dark night now, isn't it? I heard that if there is not light on the dark night, all others in the world are also blind just like me. So lit up a lantern.” The monk said, “You lit up the lantern for others?” But the bind man replied, “No, I did it for myself. Have you ever ben run into by others on a dark night?” The monk said, “Yes. I was run into by two people just now.” The blind man said proudly, “But have not all the time. I hold a lantern in the dark so that I can light up others and at the same time let others see me. Then they will not run into me.”
