Number 3 of The Complete Jataka Tales Piano Works. A story of a cow that was raised by a bad-mouth Brahmin. The cow was raised well, so it grew strong. It wanted to show gratitude to the Brahmin for taking good care of it, so it suggested that the Brahmin went to ask his wealthy friend to gamble whether the cow could drag a hundred cartload of stones. On the gamble day, the Brahmin scowled the cow out of his habit, so it just stood there, not moving at all, causing the Brahmin to lose the gamble. He was very sad and upset for few days, so the cow told him why he didn't move, and suggested to gamble again, with a promise that the Brahmin would not use negative words ever again. He kept that promise and did win the gamble, with twice the bid money, so he kept the profit and learnt the lesson.

A Wise Cow

I compose classical music to pursue the truth and the beauty. It's a way to discover what is meant to be living, and what is meant to be part of nature.
