A student approached a Zen master and asked, "What is the meaning of life?"
The master replied, "Life is a journey, like a river flowing towards the ocean. The journey is the destination, and the meaning is in the journey itself."
The student, still perplexed, asked, "But what is the path to enlightenment?"
The master smiled and said, "The path to enlightenment is like climbing a mountain. The higher you climb, the clearer the view, but the climb itself is the reward. When you reach the top, you will find that the mountain was always within you."
