One morning a newspaper delivery man was driving along a mountain road in his wagon. Two monks were walking towards him. One of them was a master, and the second was his student. The student said:
“Master, the teaching says that the world is the dream of the Buddha, and if you become a Buddha, the world will be your dream.” So explain to me, teacher, how can there be several awakened ones in one world?
At that moment, a gust of wind rushed up the slope, and thousands of newspapers from the cart flew high into the air.
“Look,” said the teacher, “there are so many newspapers, but the text in them all is the same.”
And the student became enlightened.
