INTRODUCTION

Why a small drummer is plundered by robbers in a forest?

REFLECTION

In this story, the Buddha talks about the disadvantages of being self-willed or stubborn. The self-willed drummer would not listen to the advice of his wise father. As a result, the drummer's stubbornness caused them to be robbed of their riches.

So, what should we do when we meet with the wise people? We should listen to their advice and see the dangers of being a stubborn person. If we are stubborn, nobody can help us. So, we should be open to the advice of others, especially from our teachers and wiser people.
