The Lighter Side of Buddhism

"One day a young Buddhist on his journey home, came to the banks of a wide river. Staring hopelessly at the great obstacle in front of him , he pondered for hours on just how to cross such a wide barrier.

Just as he was about to give up his pursuit to continue his journey he saw a great teacher on the other side of the river.

The young Buddhist yells over to the teacher, "Oh wise one , can you tell me how to get to the other side of this river"?

The teacher ponders for a moment, looks up and down the river and yells back, "My son, you are on the other side."

This excerpt thanks to the direction given by Isaiah Knows Nothing. Though I just came across his site yesterday evening, I highly recommend it. For more Buddhist Humor, click the title of this post.
