Please accept its death calmly!

Zen teacher Ik-yu was very sharp and intelligent right at young age itself.He captured everyone's attention by his wit and smartness.Ik-yu's master had a precious antique beautiful tea cup which he loved a lot.One day as Ik-yu was cleaning master's room,it fell off his hands accidently and broke.Ik-yu was worried how to tell the teacher about his mistake.The same time,he heard the footsteps of the master approaching his room.
He hid the broken cup behind and stood humbly in front of the master and asked."Teacher,I have a question.Please clear my doubt.Why do people die in this world? Cant we escape it?"
The master explained,"Everyone and everything has death in this world that is natural phenomenon.There is no escpaing it ever.It has to be accepted with calm mind no matter what."
Immediately Ik-yu brought the broken cup in front of him and sheepishly said,"Your antique tea cup died today.Please accept its death calmly!"
