Two Lama discuss on "What Chief Justice of India should aim to do in 2015

In The Mountains of Himalaya

In Christmas Holidays,
Younger Lama was reading books
Of Tarthang Tulku

Suddenly he looked up from book
And asked a hypothetical question to Elder Lama,

"What would Tarthang Tulku advise
To Chief Justice of India
If he happened to meet him?"

Elder Lama thought for awhile
And then replied,

"If Tarthang Tulku visited India,
And if he visited CJI,
He might give him three advices,

1) Meet your financial commitments on time,

2) Run a First Class Judiciary,

3) Bring Dharma into Justice."

Younger Lama pondered over these answers for quite some time.

Then he asked Elder Lama,
"Please elaborate. I am unable to understand what you wish to convey."

Elder Lama explained the first advice,

"It is duty of CJI to meet financial commitments of Judiciary.

It is his duty to see that all judges and all lawyers are paid their wages.

It is his duty to see that all financial requirements of Judiciary are met in time.

A judiciary which is unable to pay 
Good wages to Judges and Lawyers
Is like a Lion with legs of a goat."

Elder Lama then explained the second advice,

"Judiciary should be run with practice and procedure which are of the World Class.

At any given point of time,
Practice and Procedures of Indian
Judiciary should be First Class in the world."

Elder Lama then explained the third advice,

"Justice should be administered with Dharma in mind.
It is not enough to do justice
In accordance with Law"

Elder Lama thus explained the three advices 

••••

Younger Lama tried understand
Explanations given by Elder Lama 
In vain as the concept were too big
For his small mind to comprehend.

He then gave up efforts to understand
And resumed reading his books.
