> meditate in peace!" The monk did as he was told and
> each time before the meditation took place, the monk
> dutifully tied up the cat. 
> Years later when the cat died the monastary acquired
> another cat to tie up while the meditation was going
> on. Even after the old head roshi himself passed
> away, the monks continued the practice of tying up
> the cat so they could better meditate. Centuries
> later, many learned theses were written on the value
> of tying up a cat prior to meditation.
