from dao-cacao
In his youth, Sri Yaputra was a famous thief. He was so trapped that no one could catch him. At each intersection he was stopped by guards and searched for hours - but found nothing.
Many years later, when Sri Yaputra had already become the Master of Tao-Cacao, a former guard came to him and asked what Sri Yaputra was stealing.
“Your time,” the Great Teacher replied.
