Truth



Once upon a time, there was a monk who got the Enlightenment.
He argued that anybody could be a Buddha without the Enlightenment.
But, that kind of argument was very shocking and unacceptable at the time,
he was expelled from the temple and had to study alone in a mountain.
Since there was nobody listening to his teachings about Buddhism, he used to
do lectures before a group of stones and rocks. When he asked them about whether
his teachings were right, they gave him a nod of approval.


What is true anywhere is true everywhere.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
