The master instructed the unhappy young man to put a
handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it.

"How does it taste?" the master asked. "Bitter," spit
the apprentice. The master chuckled and then asked the
young man to take the same handful of salt and put it
in the lake. The two walked in silence to the nearby
lake, and once the apprentice swirled his handful of
salt in the water, the old man said, "Now drink from
the lake." As the water dripped down the young
man's chin, the master asked, "How does it taste?"
"Fresh," remarked the apprentice. "Do you taste the
salt?" asked the master.

"No," said the young man. At this, the master sat
beside this serious young man who so reminded him of
himself and took his hands, offering, "The pain
of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of
pain in life remains the same, exactly the same.
But the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the
container we put the pain in. So when you are in pain,
the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of
things ..... Stop being a glass. Become a lake."
