The Way

As we go through life, we come to believe that we make our own way. There is an ancient story of two masters. One is dying and is visited by another, his good friend. The friend, seeing his dying companion, says, "You are passing, shall I lead you on the way."


His comrade replied, "I came this far alone. What possible help could you be to me now?"


His friend calmly responded, "If that is all you think, that you simply come into this life, go through it, and then pass on, then keep with your misconception. However, if you will, let me show you the way where there is no more coming and going."

As he spoke his words, he revealed the path clearly to his friend, and the elderly one smiled and passed away.
