one of his students
some live with faith
one of his students
some dwell on religion
one of his students
asked Buddha
some kneel before icons
one of his students
some pray to dead saints
one of his students
asked Buddha
"are you the messiah?"
one of his students
some bow down to god
"no" answered Buddha
some bow down to gods
one of his students
"then are you a healer?"
one of his students
some dwell on mysticism
one of his students
"no" replied Buddha
one of his students
some rely on incantations and magic
one of his students
some worship before idols
one of his students
"then are you a teacher?"
persisted one of his students
some pray to dead prophets
one of his students
"no, I am not a teacher."
one of his students
"then what are you?"
asked one of his students
exasperated
one of his students
some believe in voodoo and cannibalism
the taste of flesh and fresh blood
one of his students
some stripped to the bone
one of his students
"I am awake"
Buddha replied
one of his students
a sacrificial lamb
one of his students
some imagine life out of death
one of his students
some cry out to God for resurrection
some cry out for a King
one of his students
some mill around vexed by predilection
one of his students
some believe in crucifixion
some have faith in martyrdom
one of his students
some are sleeping
one of his students
some are dreaming
one of his students
some are invisible
one of his students
Buddha
one of his students
