Leshya is State of Mind
Activity: Color based on leshya for each person. Write in your words what leshya means to you.
Six men were on a trip. They got hungry and thirsty. They found a fruit tree and they wanted fruits but they had different states of mind:
1. Let's cut the tree down to get the fruit
2. Cut off a big branch
3. Cut off a small branch
4. Get the bunches of fruit
5. Just pick the fruit that we need to eat
6. Let's eat the fruits on the ground Different states of mind represent six types of Leshyä. First Leshyä is the worst and sixth Leshyä is the best.
We should strive for best Leshyä like friend #6.
Six types of Leshyäs are represented by different colors. Use following colors to color each friend:
1- Black
2- Blue
3- Brown
4-red
5-yellow
6-white
