Enlightenment   2 / 12
Transcript of a conversation with a group of Buddhists

Q: If I do what I think is right, isn't that good enough?

A: The enlightened do good. The ignorant do bad.

Q: I am trying to do my best. I can't do any more than that.

A: I am here to make your best better.

Q: Are you then enlightened? - thinking you can go around changing people. If you are enlightened then you should be able to perform miracles, or at least create an illusion or two for us.

A: If the Buddha himself materialized before you to give you teachings, you would not be able see him. Anyway, you create more than enough illusions all by yourselves without any help from me.
