«A TESTAMENT ABOUT A TREASURE»
«A certain poor philosopher had lazy sons, and at the hour of death he called his sons and said:
– O sons, much treasure of my fathers (ancestors, K. A.) is kept in our vineyard, but I will not show you the place; whoever works and digs the deepest — he will find the treasure.
And after the father’s death the sons began to strive with great labour and ploughed deep, and each one strove that he himself should find the treasure.
And the vineyard began to grow and gain strength and bore fruit abundantly, and the treasures came forth».
The Grabar version of the parable, passed on from age to age —
«A certain poor philosopher had lazy sons, and at the hour of death he called the sons and says:
— O little sons, much treasure is kept from my fathers in our vineyard, but the place I do not show you; rather, whoever labours and digs deepest, he finds the treasure.
And after the death of the father, the sons began to strive with great labour and ploughed most deeply, and each one strove for himself, that he himself might find the treasure.
And the vineyard began to grow and gain strength and gave much fruit and filled them with treasure».
Faithful to the Haykian Sacred teaching — the Haykian Brotherhood today provides the opportunity to become acquainted with the heritage built by the Armenian Forefathers — the «hidden treasures», to uncover the mystery of the Ancestors.
The wisdom bequeathed by our Ancestors — summed up in the concise lines of the Haykian Sacred Teaching, arms the rare connoisseurs — to face the ever-changing events of life…
It helps the followers of the teaching — to make right, sensible decisions in the multifarious situations of everyday life, to distinguish good from evil, to separate the important from the secondary, to concentrate, instead of on questions lying outside their own sphere of influence, on solving those problems that are under their control.
For our nation, which is in a situation of war, the wise teaching of the Haykazuns is a real weapon — the guarantee of a victorious march.
To those who wish — welcome and a good journey…
