Everything that has a beginning has an ending.  Make your peace with that and all will be well.   -- The Buddha

When the Buddha start to wander around India shortly after his enlightenment, he encountered several men who recognized him to be a very extraordinary being.

They asked him, "Are you a god?
"No," he replied.

"Are you a reincarnation of god?"
"No," he replied.

"Are you a wizard, then?"
"No."

"Well, are you a man?"
"No."

"So what are you?" they asked, being very perplexed.

"I am awake."

Buddha means "The Awakened One". How to awaken is all he taught.
