A Brahman named Dona once asked the Buddha, "Are you a god?"
"I'm not a god, Brahman," the Buddha answered.
"Are you a saint?" Dona asked.
"I'm not a saint, Dona," the Buddha answered.
"Are you an angel?" Dona asked.
"I'm not an angel, Dona," the Buddha answered.
"Are you a magician?" Dona asked.
"No, Dona, I'm not a magician," the Buddha answered.
"Are you a man?" Dona asked.
"No, I am not a man," the Buddha answered.
"What are you?" Dona asked.
"I'm awake," the Buddha answered.
