*Elder Jinchi's Lust for the Kasaya*

Elder Jinchi, revered as a wise and virtuous master, harbored a secret desire that even the most enlightened could not easily shake. His lust wasn’t for worldly possessions, fame, or power—it was for the **kasaya**, the sacred robe worn by the highest monks. To most, the kasaya represented humility, spiritual discipline, and detachment from worldly desires. Yet, for Jinchi, it symbolized something more: ultimate spiritual authority and recognition.

As a young monk, Jinchi had always admired the kasaya worn by the elders in his temple. The flowing, saffron-colored garment wasn’t just a robe to him—it was a mark of those who had achieved the highest level of enlightenment, those who had transcended the material world. Over time, this admiration twisted into an obsession, a desire to wear the kasaya not out of true enlightenment, but to fulfill his own inner void.

The once-pure monk, now an elder himself, became consumed by the thought of donning the sacred robe. In his teachings, he preached detachment, humility, and purity, but inside, he wrestled with a burning ambition to be seen as the most enlightened, the ultimate spiritual authority. He believed that by wearing the kasaya, he would be viewed as the highest among the monks, a symbol of perfection.

Elder Jinchi's lust for the kasaya grew with each passing year. He started taking on more extreme ascetic practices, not to purify his soul, but in hopes of being awarded the robe sooner. His meditations grew longer, his fasts harsher, and his guidance to disciples more severe. He justified his actions as spiritual discipline, but deep down, he knew his motives were tainted.

One fateful night, Jinchi dreamed of himself wearing the kasaya, surrounded by disciples who gazed at him in awe. He stood taller, the robe flowing around him like a second skin, glowing with the aura of divine light. When he awoke, he realized that his desire for the robe was not just about the honor it represented, but about his fear of being forgotten, of being just another monk in the grand history of the temple.

In his quest for the kasaya, Jinchi began to drift further from the true path of enlightenment. His disciples noticed his growing detachment and the harshness in his once-gentle teachings. The elder monks, sensing his inner turmoil, warned him that the kasaya was not a symbol to be coveted, but a responsibility to be earned through purity of heart.

Yet, the more Jinchi was warned, the deeper his obsession grew. He became paranoid, believing that other monks were conspiring to keep him from the kasaya. In his mind, the robe was his destiny—his rightful claim. He started scheming, manipulating situations in the temple to ensure his position as the next to inherit the sacred garment.

But in chasing the kasaya, Elder Jinchi lost sight of its true meaning. The robe, once a symbol of humility and enlightenment, became the object of his pride, ambition, and ego. In the end, his lust for the kasaya led to his spiritual downfall, as he realized too late that the path to enlightenment could never be found through desire, no matter how sacred the object of that desire might seem.

Elder Jinchi’s tale became a cautionary story in the temple—a reminder that even the most revered and disciplined could fall victim to the lure of ambition and attachment, even to something as sacred as the kasaya.
