While visiting a Himalayan kingdom, the Master decided to visit the temple there. As he walked in with his local guide through the temple gates, he saw two large, ferocious dogs chained to the iron grills at the entrance. Their tongues were wagging, the saliva was dropping and they were barking non-stop. Just the kind of sight that could instill fear in a general mind!

"Don't worry, Master!" Said the helpful guide. "I know they look really scary. But the chains are very strong and there is no way the dogs can break free!" The Master continued to walk through the long courtyard, toward the main temple. Even as he tried to concentrate on the temple's history that the guide was narrating, he kept looking back at those dogs and his ears seemed to be echoing with the noise of their barking.

As he looked back one more time, he could not believe what he saw. The dogs had broken free from their chains and were running towards him. Instantly the Master started to run too. Directly towards the dogs! Yes, he began to run-not away from the dogs, but towards them! And guess what happened? The dogs were so surprised to see the master running towards them that they quietly turned and went back towards the gate!
