I could tell you a million more legends like this one,but not enough space here and you won't read them all :)
A Zen parable tells of a hunter who was in the mountains.
He came across a snake killing a bird. Suddenly a boar
appeared and began to devour the snake. The hunter thought
he should kill the boar, but changed his mind because he did
not want to be a link in such a chain, and cause his own death
by the next predator to come along. On his way home he heard
a voice call to him from the top of a tree. It was the voice of a
tengu. It told him how lucky he was, for had he killed the boar,
the tengu would have killed him. The man subsequently
moved into a cave and never killed another animal.
Source(s): The tengu comprise a class of high-flying demons, probably Chinese in origin, who principally inhabit cedar or pine trees in the mountainous areas of Japan. - NLv 710 years ago
