Buddhist Stories( 顯中釋 ): Angry Buddha
http://zhongstories.blogspot.com/2010/11/angry-buddha.html
From "Being Peace" by Thitch Nhat Hahn. I am doing my practice and you keep on shouting my name over and over! The gentleman smiled at her and said: "I just called your name for ten minutes and you are so angry. You have been calling Amitabha Buddha's name for more then ten years now; just imagine how angry he must be by now! Blind Men and an Elephant. Evil-Doer Suffer Here and Hereafter. Knowing people is assuredly not easy. Retaliation Does Not Lead to Peace. The Irony of Samsara. Two Ducks and a Turtle.

The elder of the two monks went up to a her lifted her in his alms and left her on the other side of the road, and continued his way to the monastery.

http://zhongstories.blogspot.com/2010/12/dining-with-general.html
One day, an Army General invited the Buddhist Monk I-hsiu (literary, "One Rest") to his military head office for a dinner. I-hsiu was not accustomed to wearing luxurious clothings and so he just put on an old ordinary casual robe to go to the military base. To him, "form is void". As he approached the base, two soldiers appeared before him and shouted, "Where does this beggar came from? You do not have permission to be around here! At the dinner, I-hsiu sat in front of the table full of food but, instead...

Buddhist Sutra, Vinaya and Abidharma (Xian Zhong): Live well leads to dying well
http://ibsteachings.blogspot.com/2013/02/live-well-leads-to-dying-well.html
Live well leads to dying well. Is there any validity to the statement that a majority of us do not know how to live a full and productive life and therefore are afraid to die?
