80. A slap on the face!
A Zen story:
A disciple once went to his master and asked him. 'Master, when will I become a Buddha? How long will it take me to become enlightened?' In reply, the master gave him a hard slap on his face! In that moment, the disciple awakened to his true nature.
How long can it take you to become something which you already are? What practice can you do to become what you already are? Whether you try to move inward or outward, as long as you are going somewhere you are missing the truth. The very process of traveling takes you away from the truth.
