Qu’est-il arrivé au châle? – What Happened to the Shawl? French – One Day Buddha was approached by a monk who wanted a new shawl. Buddha asked the monk what happened to his old shawl? The monk answered that he made it as a bed sheet, then Gautama Buddha who always delved deep asked the monk the same question but this time about his bed sheet and so on. This is a great story about recycling and finding new ways to use old things.
