The 3 Bulls (3 Treasure ) Story
Once upon a time, there was a farming village that received a large down fall of rain, which causes many roads and tracks leading into the village had become flooded and boggy. One day, a horse drawn carriage stuck while crossing the flooded roads. The horseman whipped his horse for hours, yet the carriage was too heavy and had sunk too deep to move forward.
He asked help from the farmers in the village. One farmer claimed he had a biggest bull and would be able to solve the problem. The farmer tied his large bull to the carriage and whipped him tyring to pull the carriage. After 3 days of whipping and pulling, not only wasn’t any progress, but the large bull had also sunk so deep into the muddy road that he too was stuck.
Another farmer approached the carriage with a fastest prize winning bull. The farmer tied his large bull to the carriage and whipped him trying to pull the carriage. After 3 days of whipping and pulling, the carriage was still stuck and the bull had collapsed into the muddy road because of exhaustion.
A third farmer came with his strongest bull in the village, who has won many prizes. The farmer tied his large bull to the carriage and whipped him trying to pull the carriage. After 3 days of whipping and pulling, the strong bull also collapsed into the mud, and the carriage was still stuck on the road.
After 9 days, the horseman had lost all hope that his carriage would ever become unstuck. An old yet wise farmer approached him and said “I have watched you over the past nine days. 3 bulls have died and you have still not thought of a better method.” “I have 3 bulls, they are not the strongest, fastest or largest and they have never won any prizes, but I think I can help you. So the old farmer tied his 3 bulls together and then tied them to the carriage. With only a few moments of whipping, the carriage finally rolled out of the mud.
The moral of the story:
· You may be the best bull in the village, but if you can’t get the job done then you are bull shitting. Sometimes, one method may not be able to solve the problem, but if you use 3 methods (Modalities), the problem can be solved much easier and quicker.
· We often see patients get treated with one modality at a time to save money, but the time multiply the money spent ends up much greater, yet no expected results achieved , just like in the story to use one bull at a time only. It appears to be a simple and cheaper option at the start. Sooner or later the patients will realise that they are not getting anywhere.
· At 3 Treasure team, 3 Modalities (Acupuncture, herbal medicine and Qigong) are always applied systematically to achieve maximum efficiency in the shortest possible time.
Q: Dr. Zhang, I got a miracle cure excellent result for my aged long symptoms, how long will it last?
A: It’s easy to expect miracles, but how long do you want the miracle to last? You would like it to be “indefinitely”!? with a question mark at the back showing unconscious disbelieve, which in turns will be manifested definitely! This 3 Bull story is an excellent metaphor to see how miracles can long last: but applying 3 Treasure’s health maintenance program with simultaneously herbs, acupuncture and Qigong, like the 3 bulls can not only save the carriage, but also power the carriage with long lasting power to any destiny of fantasy land.
Q: Dr Zhang, now I got the results what I came for. What should I do to keep it?
A: Please consult your team co-ordinator Acupuncturist, you will be given the best advice to maintain the good results.
