It is said that soon after his enlightenment the Buddha passed a man on the road who was struck by the Buddha's extraordinary radiance and peaceful presence. The man stopped and asked,
"My friend, what are you?
Are you a celestial being
or a god?""No,"
said the Buddha.
"Well, then, are you some kind of magician
or wizard?"Again the Buddha answered,
"No."
"Are you a man?"
"No."
"Well, my friend, then what are you?"
The Buddha replied,
"I am awake."
