Letting go
Two monks were walking along a path. At some point the path they were travelling along crossed a swollen river. As they approached the river they noticed an old woman standing alonside the river. She seemed distressed. She approached them and asked if they could help her across the river since she could not swim. The older of the two monks picked up the woman and carried her across. He put her down on the other side, rejoined his travel companion and they were on their way. After about an hour the younger monk turned to the older monk and said "Why did you carry that woman when you know that we are not allowed to touch women?". The younger monk appeared annoyed. The older monk replied "I put her down at the river, why are you still carrying her?"
