In
every age men have set out on spiritual journeys on personal quests.
Driven
by pain , drawn by longing, lifted by hope, singly and in groups
they come in search of relief, enlightenment, peace, power, joy, or
they know not what.
Wishing
to learn, and confusing being taught with learning, they often seek
out helpers, healers, and guides, spiritual teachers whose disciples
they would become.
A
grown up man can be no man's disciple.
No
meaning that comes from outside of ourselves is real.
The
budhhahood of each of us has already been obtained.
We
need only recognize it.

you meet the Buddha on the road kill him.
