A wander comes upon a master sitting under a tree.

“Can I achive enlightment through meditation?” asked the wander.

“No” repliyed the master.

A few days later the wander comes upon another master.

“Can I achive enlightment through meditation?” asked the wander.

“No” repliyed the master.

A few days later the wander comes upon Buddha sitting in the dust beside the road.

“Oh great buddha” says the wander. ” I have walked many days along this road and asked many teachers if meditation would lead to enlightenment. The have all denied that it would. So why do you instruct us to meditate?”

“You are already enlightened .” Buddha responds. “Meditation is done to still the dream ; so you may awaken”
