A philosopher asked Buddha: `Without words, without the wordless,
will you you tell me truth?'
The Buddha kept silence.
The philosopher bowed and thanked the Buddha, saying: `With your
loving kindness I have cleared away my delusions and entered the true
path.'
After the philosopher had gone, Ananda asked the Buddha what he had
attained.
The Buddha replied, `A good horse runs even at the shadow of the
whip.'
