Getting to the Other Side


Prince Gotama, who had become the Buddha, saw one of his followers meditating under a tree at the edge of the Ganges river. Upon inquiring why he was meditation, his follower stated he was attempting to become so enlightened he could cross the river unaided.

The Buddha gave him a few coins and said, "Why don't you seek passage on the river-ferry. It's much easier."
