The Last Supper

You all know Leonardo Da Vinci. He is some how the most famous painter of the world. I read a nice story about him, want to share it with you:
The church asked Leonardo to paint his best known paint, The Last Supper; they ordered him the size and content of the picture. In the picture he should paint Messiah and Judas as his enemy. First one was the symbol of goodness and the other one as the opposite. Leonardo thought a lot and went in public, he looked carefully at the faces and at last found a good-looking young man who was very clear and polite and educated …. He asked him to become his model and this phase was done. But he was still looking for the face of Judas. This search took 3 years. The church was in hurry and keep on asking.
One day Leonardo decided to choose the bad face that day. He went to Bazaar and found a dirty man, drunk and asleep beside the street. He asked his men to wake him up and hold him as a model of the bad face. When his work was done, the man became conscious and looked at Leonardo's picture. He said he had seen this picture 3 years ago and at that time he was the model of Messiah!!!!
At that time Leonardo found that goodness and badness are inside everybody and just depends on your paying attention to each side.

به دنيا پا نهاده اي درست مانند كتابي باز و ساده و نانوشته.بايد سرنوشت خود را رقم زني، خود و نه كس ديگر، چه كسي مي تواند چنين كند؟ جرا؟ مجبوري سرنوشت خود را بنويسي. خالق سرانجام خود باشي. با "خود" آماده و قالب يافته بدنيا نيامده اي. همچون بذر زاده شده اي و مي تواني همان بذز بماني و بميري اما ميتواني گل باشي و بشكفي، مي تواني درخت باشي و ببالي
"اوشو"
