I was wondering where you and Reg and EEE had gotten to, as you're a Buddhist too got a joke for ya

One day a young Buddhist on his journey home, came to the banks of a
wide river. Staring hopelessly at the great obstacle in front of him ,
he pondered for hours on just how to cross such a wide barrier. Just as
he was about to give up his pursuit to continue his journey he saw a
great teacher on the other side of the river. The young Buddhist yells
over to the teacher "Oh wise one , can you tell me how to get to the
other side of this river"?

The teacher ponders for a moment looks up and down the river and yells
back "My son, you are on the other side" .
