“But back to the original question: Wouldn’t an enlightened Zen master believe in Zen? Wouldn’t an enlightened Sufi believe in Islam?” “You’re talking about vehicles and destinations. Once one has arrived at the destination, the vehicle is discarded, forgotten. If I take a train to Chicago I get off the train and enjoy Chicago. I don’t drag the train around behind me. It did its job. I don’t need it any more. Of course, if one is going to turn back and help others with their journeys, then he would rely on the vehicle he knows.”
