Currently reading Buddha-Karen Armstrong

A traveler came to a expanse of water n desperately needed to get across.There was no bridge,no ferry,so he built a raft n rowed himself across the river.So Buddha asked his audience,what should the traveler do with the raft?Should he decide that because it had been so helpful to him,he should load it onto his back and lug it around with him wherever he went?Or should he simply moor it n continue his journey?

Liked where it also says that Buddha constantly said.. that one does not need to look to a teacher for answers ... if one looked within .. he/she would find answers for him/her sefl!
