Once Upon a time in Ancient China ๐จ๐ณ
There lived 3 old Monks,
Their names are not remembered today, simply because they never did reveal them to anybody.
In China they're simply known as โฌ๏ธ
"the 3 Laughing Monks"
A short Story !!

"the 3 Laughing Monks"
A short Story !!
They always travelled together and did nothing else but laugh. They entered a village and stood in the center of its main square and started laughing, slowly but surely, the people who lived and worked there and other passers by couldn't resist their laughter and had to start
Laughing as well,, until a small crowd had formed and eventually the laughter had spread to the whole village or town that was the moment when the 3 old Monks moved to the next village๐ฏ
Their laughter was their only PRAYER, and all of their teachings because they never spoke to

Anybody, they just created that situation all over China
And they were loved and respected by all.
The people had never known such spiritual teachers before or after.
They seemed to communicate that life should be taken only as a great opportunity to laugh.

As if they had discovered some kind of cosmic joke. So they traveled and laughed for many years spreading joy and happiness all around China.
Until one day , while being at a particular village at the north province, one of then DIED.
The villagers were shocked and came running

The villagers were shocked and came running
From Afar leaving the fields unattended for the day. Only to witness the other 2 Monks reaction to this dramatic event
They were expecting them to show some sorrow or even cry. And the whole village came to the place where the 3 Monks were
2 alive and one dead.

2 alive and one dead.
But they remaining two Monks were laughing only harder, they were laughing and laughing and couldn't seem to stop. And so a few good people who were assisting to the scene in disbelief approached them and asked why they weren't mourning for their deceased friend.
And for one time
And for one time
The Monks actually responded, "Becasue yesterday whilst we were on our way to your village, he proposed a bet on who of us would beat the other 2 and die first and now he won" "The Old Rogue" they laughed๐
He even had a testament (will) prepared.
Now that had past...

The tradition required to wash the body and changed his clothes before putting him on the funeral pyre, but the monk had explicitly asked to leave the old cloths on him since he had never been filthy for one day
In his testament he statedโฌ๏ธ
In his testament he statedโฌ๏ธ
" I never allowed any of the filth of the world to reach me through my laughter "
So his body was placed on the pyre with the garments he was wearing when he has arrived.
And as the fire was lit and it started licking on his cloths, to everyone's astonishment

Fireworks of different colors blasted all around the village in different directions and finally the people who had gathered there also joined the laughter of the 2 wise men.

As Rhetoric & Controversial as this story might be

Maybe the only reason we're here on this earth is so we can laugh and laugh and never stop experiencing Joy and laughter
So next time you face a problem, look in the mirror and just laugh the problem away
Because your Joy is what makes you alive and your laughter and happiness
