    .... You are the master,
    You are the refuge.
    As a merchant breaks in a fine horse,
    Master yourself.

    How gladly you follow
    The words of the awakened.

    How quietly, how surely
    You approach the happy country,
    The heart of stillness.

    However young,
    The seeker who sets out upon the way
    Shines bright over the world.

    Like the moon,
    Come out from behind the clouds!
    Shine.

                -- Buddha


    The Scots angler died, made his way to heaven,
    and was stopped at the gate by Saint Peter who
    said, "You have told too many lies to get in
    here!"
    "Have a heart," replied the angler. "Remember
    you were a fisherman once yourself!"

    Gautama the Buddha is reminding his
    bodhisattvas that the path that they have
    followed themselves, the very beginning of the
    path, they may have completely forgotten about
    by now. Who remembers the dreams in the
    morning when he is awake? Within seconds
    those dreams are forgotten.

    The same happens when you become
    enlightened: all the misery, all the nightmares,
    all the sorrows that you had suffered so much
    simply become so insignificant, so irrelevant that
    they disappear from your consciousness. They
    are no more part of your life story -- as if they
    had happened to somebody else and not to you.
    Hence Buddha is reminding his bodhisattvas
    how the journey starts from the very beginning;
    only then can these people be of help to others...
