The Buddah

I found this reading very interesting. I think my favorite parts tend to be either the beginning or end. I liked teh very last sentence where he says "hold to the truth within yourself, as to the only truth". If you believe in something then you should believe in it fully, and you shouldnt let others change your beliefs. You need t0 be proud of what you believe in. It is true to you. The passage about the raft also makes good points. I like how it points out that you should use things while you need them, but then let others have it. The man no longer needed the raft after he crossed the river, so it was smart of him to leave it behind for others to use. The Buddah is a very smart man, and his comment about everyone being Buddahs really made me think. He is saying that everything you need is right in front of you all you have to do is see it. People try too hard. They work to earn things they do not need, and sometimes it is right there.
