The opening
Crossing the Flood
Crossing the Flood
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
Then, late at night, a glorious deity, lighting up the entire Jeta’s Grove, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him, “Good fellow, how did you cross the flood?”
“Neither standing nor swimming, respectable sir, I crossed the flood.”
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
