The Wise Teaching of Buddha


There once was a man, desperate to reach enlightenment, who has visited countless masters, sages, and philosophers with the same question, "How do I reach Nirvana?"

Although these masters of life gave this man an answer, all wise, none of these answers satisfied the man. One day, the man decided to make the most dangerous journey to meet the greatest master known at the time, Buddha.

The journey took months and once the man finally reached his destination, all torn and exhausted by the long travel, he kneel down and begged Buddha,
"Oh, great master, I have come from a land far away to seek your wisdom and guidance, please tell me, what must I do to reach enlightenment?"

Buddha, simply smiled, a very kind, gentle, soothing smile and replied,
"Young man, THAT which you seek, is THAT which is doing the seeking."

The man, then suddenly understood everything,
THE KEY TO EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS WITHIN US!
