			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently read this Zen Story.</p>
<blockquote><p>
During a momentous battle, a Japanese general decided to attack even though his army was greatly outnumbered. He was confident they would win,but his men were filled with doubt. </p>
<p>On the way to the battle, they stopped at a religious shrine. After praying with the men, the general took out a coin and said, &#8220;I shall now toss this coin. If it is heads, we shall win. If tails, we shall lose. Destiny will now reveal itself.&#8221; He threw the coin into the air and all watched intently as it landed.<br />
It was heads.<br />
The soldiers were so overjoyed and filled with confidence that they vigorously attacked the enemy and were victorious. After the battle, a lieutenant remarked to the general, &#8220;No one can change destiny.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Quite right,&#8221; the general replied as he showed the lieutenant the coin, which had heads on both sides.
