Theos-Talk Archives (July 2009 Message tt00328)

It was very unique in that Lord Buddha, when a devotee addressed him as God,
he raised him up and told him - I am your brother.
.
When I read about it, I was indeed touched. Whenever I meet my friends and
need to remind them that we all should be on the level, I repeat this story.
I think, such an attitude will help all of us in our day to day dealing with
others.
