"I am the way, the truth, and the life?" Here's some more thoughts on the Buddhist approach to Jesus's statement. These are from an article titled "How Shall We Save the World?" in the Summer 98 issue of Turning Wheel. Shakyamuni Buddha uttered on the occasion of his great awakening under the Bodhi Tree: "I and all beings on earth together attain enlightenment at the same time." Commentary by eminent master Pai-chang: "The Buddha appears in the world and saves sentient beings" are words of...the incomplete teaching. Anger and joy, sickness and medicine, are all oneself; there in no one else. Where is there a Buddha appearing in the world? Where are there sentient beings to be saved? Further commentary by the modern teacher Yasutani Hakuun: Fundamentally, such matters as saving sentient beings are the delusions of bodhisattvas. Where are the sentient beings to be saved? From the pits of hell...to the summit of the Buddha realm, there is not even a single deluded sentient being...Sentient beings are originally buddhas. All are nothing but Tathagatas of pure gold. Is there any saving to be done?
