the narrowest part of the river for crossing. There, they saw a beautiful woman who had worn silk robes, but she was very much in distress. She did not want to trouble the monks, but as there was no one else, she spoke to senior monk Tao Ween. She said , "Respected sir , I must request you to take me to the other bank," she said. "I cannot cross the river by myself , or else these robes would be damaged, and my lover who is waiting on the other side of the river will not like it. Please take me."So Tao Ween took her on his shoulder and crossed the river and kept her down. She thanked him profusely and left.

Leen chin followed the Master, but seemed very upset for the next half an hour. Leen chin was very silent. Then Tao Ween asked him "Hey why are you so quiet? Any thing happened ?" Leen chin replied "Oh , you are asking as if nothing happened. Don't act so innocent. You have broken a monk's vows and you are still pretending to be unaware. You have done such a mean act and now you are acting innocent ! "

Tao ween was quite perturbed at this allegation and he asked, "Why, what did I do, I am only walking silently".

Leen chin said, "oh you carried that woman on your shoulder, and you are pretending to be so innocent. In Buddhism, you are not even supposed to touch a woman ! "

At this, Tao Ween started rolling with laughter. He then told Leen Chin, "I left the woman on the river bank long ago, but you are still carrying her in your head!"
