The Zen teacher was driving a carriage in which a woman was sitting with her child. There was a lot of snow and the morning was very cold. The teacher and the woman in the cart began to freeze. He saw that she was gradually turning blue and losing consciousness. Then he took the child, pushed the woman out of the cart and drove away. The woman was left standing in the snow while her child was taken away. She started running, screaming, cursing - and after half a kilometer, thanks to the fact that she was running, screaming and screaming, she found herself completely fine.
Then the teacher stopped the cart, sat it down and said:
- Everything is fine now. I had to do this, otherwise you would have died.
