Happy Wesak - 21st May 2016





Happy Wesak from all of us at the temple!
  Here's a little story I would like to share with you:

I Am Awake

When the Buddha started to wander around India shortly after his enlightenment, 
he encountered several men who recognized him to be a very extraordinary being.

They asked him, "Are you a god?"
"No," he replied.

"Are you a reincarnation of god?"
"No," he replied.

"Are you a wizard, then?"
"No."

"Well, are you a man?"
"No."

"So what are you?" they asked, being very perplexed.
"I am awake."

Sadhu!  Sadhu!  Sadhu!
