Sariputra and a Jerk's Enlightenment
Continuation of stories about Sariputra
Once a jerk came to Sariputra and asked him:
- You say the same goal has different ways to reach: a good man follows the path of virtue; a yogi seeks solitude; a philosopher goes to the library and a believer - to the temple. I don’t believe, I can’t read, I hate loneliness, I’m a bad person, I have no goal. What is my path?
- Go away, - Sariputra said.
That's how the jerk got enlightened and found his way.
