Water in a Kettle

This world is like water in a kettle, beginning to boil; 
first a bubble comes, then another, then many until all is in ebullition and passes away in steam. 

The great teachers are like the bubbles as they begin -- here one, there one; but in the end every creature has to be a bubble and escape. 
Creation, ever new, will bring new water and go through the process all over again. 

Buddha and Christ are the two greatest "bubbles" the world has known.
