Tightfisted Till the End

News 154, Master Tells Jokes
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai
International three-day Retreat in Phnom Penh, Cambodia • March 28, 1996
(originally in Chinese) Videotape 541

When a very miserly man nicknamed the “stingy ghost” died and went to hell, the Yama King reproached him, saying, “You stingy ghost! When you were alive, you clung hard to everything and wouldn’t give to anyone. Even when you saw others in poverty and misery, you refused to offer them help. Also, you didn’t take good care of your parents, relatives or friends and let them suffer and starve. For your evil karma, you’ll be dumped into a pot of boiling oil.”

The ghost wardens then escorted the man to the pot of boiling oil, and when they arrived, he looked at the pot and said, “Hey! Wait a minute! There’s so much oil in it. What a waste! Please drain out the oil, sell it and give me the money. Then, you can simply dump me in a pot of boiling water! There’s no need for oil. You’re using too much oil to cook one person anyway!”
