Horishmo The Samurai Warrior
The Question Of Heaven or Hell
A soldier named Horishmo came to a famous meditation master of old, and asked him a serious question,
“Is there really a heaven and a hell?”
“Who are you?” Demanded the famous meditation Master.
“I am a samurai warrior” replied the soldier
“You, a soldier!” Laughed the meditation master.
“What kind of king would have you as his guard? Your not strong enough to be a soldier and you look like a beggar.”
Horishmo became so angry that he began to draw his sword,
but the Meditation Master continued: “So you have a sword! Your weapon is probably much too blunt to cut off my head, and you don’t look to have the strength”
The Soldier, so incensed, drew the full length of his sword ready to strike,
The Meditation Master remarked
“Here you open the gates of hell!”
At these words the worrier instantly understood, sheathed his sword and bowing.
“And hear you open the gates of heaven” said The Master

Moral of Story
Inside each and everyone of us is a personal battle, we and only ourselves have the power to create our own heaven or hell. Never let someone else control your state of mind, this is yours to give away not someone’s to take from you.
Kind and Warmest Regards
Dhamma Tāpasā* (Andrew Hallas)
Dhamma Tāpasā is a former Buddhist monk and is the spiritual name given to Andrew Hallas. Dhamma’s life has been shaped by trauma, deep inquiry, and years spent living simply in nature. After searching for answers through meditation, solitude, and spiritual practice, his understanding settled around a quiet truth. That our experience of life is created from the inside out, through thought. Through stories, reflections, The Quiet Space, and gentle one-to-one conversations, Dhamma now shares a grounded approach to mental well-being for those seeking clarity, peace of mind, and a deeper trust in themselves.
