Dear Friends, I do not know if this piece is Buddhist in origin. It demonstrates a universal principle so lovingly that I hope others will join me in appreciation. 
Namaste,

GREAT LESSON TO  LEARN

A Young Couple Moves Into A New Neighborhood
The Next Morning While They Are Eating Breakfast,
 
The Young Women Sees Her Neighbor Hanging The Wash Outside. 
 
" The Laundry Is Not Very Clean " She Said 
 
" She Doesn't Know How To Wash Correctly
Perhaps She Needs Better Laundry Soaps "
 
Her Husband Looked On But Remained Silent.
 
Every time Her Neighbor Would Hang Her Wash To Dry,
 
The Young Women Would Make The Same Comments.
 
About One Month Later,
 
The Women Was Surprised To See A Nice Clean
Wash On The Line And Said To Her Husband :
 
" Look, She Has Learned How To Wash Correctly.
I Wonder Who Taught Her This "
 
The Husband Said :
I Got Up Early This Morning And Cleaned Our Windows. "
 
And So it is With Life.
What We See When Watching Others Depends
On The Purity Of The Window Through Which We Look !!!
