Anecdote of the day


brought to you by Peter Matthiessen.

It is related that Sakyamuni once dismissed as of small consequence a feat of levitation on the part of a disciple, and cried out in pity for a yogin by a river who had wasted twenty years of his human existence in learning how to walk on water, when the ferryman might have taken him across for a small coin.
