11 / TO BECOME A BUDDHA /
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
Zen masters are famous for their unconventional methods of educating their disciples.
On Zen master had a disciple who was intelligent, diligent and sincere. His only problem was that he had no patience with long and arduous techniques for attaining enlightenment.
Every day he would apprach the master and ask him, “Just tell me master, when will I become like Buddha?” The master would simply smile and offer no answer.
Working day and night, practising every technique according to the master's instructions, and still finding no answer, the disciple became crazed with the thirst for enlightenment.
Finally, one day he decided that the quest was simply not worth it. He went to the master and demanded, “Tell me one thing before I leave. Am I ever going to become like Buddha or not?” In answer, the master slapped the disciple furiously across the face.
In that instant, the disciple awakened to his true nature.
[ What did the master mean by that slap? Was he admonishing the disciple for hoping for too much? NO. The master simply had to jolt the disciple into the awareness that he was already a Buddha! How can you want to become something you already are?
We all go through life as sleeping buddhas, completely unaware of the divinity of our own nature. As with the lion and the sheep, it takes a master to show us our true face! ]
