Text[edit]
- Master Togo and his student came to a rope bridge spanning a ravine. The student asked, "Master, how will we ever make it across?" Togo smiled. "You're the student. You tell me."
Read on.
- Togo took shelter from the wind and built a fire to warm himself. The student pondered the question for several hours.
- Read on.
- Finally, the student stood. "Master, I think it will take great strength to cross the bridge. We have to hold on very tightly and pull ourselves up if our feet slide off."
- Read on.
- Togo nodded. "You have the strength to go all the way across that bridge using only your arms for support and advancement?" "I don't know," replied the student.
- Read on.
- "You don't know the limitations of your strength?" The student looked shamed. "No, Master, I do not." "Try then," Togo suggested, "and see if you can your limitations."
- Read on.
- The bridge leaped with each gust of wind. When the student reached for the rope, it jerked out of his hand. The student returned to Togo. "Master, I cannot hold onto the rope. We will never get across the ravine."
- Read on.
- Togo smiled. "Now you know the limitations of your strength and the power of the wind. You are one step closer to understanding." "But what do we do, Master?" the student asked. "We wait."
- Read on.
- Master Togo waited just before nightfall, when the wind died down. He and his student easily crossed the bridge. On the other side, Togo said, "What have you learned?"
- Read on.
- The student laughed. "I have learned, Master, that when your opponent is stronger than you, it is good to wait until he blows himself out." Master Togo and his student continued on.
