A younger monk asked an older monk "where is buddha?"
The older monk sticked out a finger, said "here", then the older monk asked him back "where is buddha?"
The younger monk sticked out one of his finger too, said "here", the older monk was furious, he cut off his finger.
Several months later, the older monk asked the younger monk again "where is buddah?" the younger monk wanted to stick out his finger again, but found he lost it, it was empty.
Suddenly, he was enlightened....later he became a famous master.
Question: What was he enlightened?....Does it mean Buddha is nowhere to be found, yet he's everywhere too?..everything is buddha?
