I asked the Buddha today ... "How old will I be when I die?"

And the Buddha smiled and replied ... "As old as you need to be."

I remained silent for several seconds before I sincerely asked the next question ... "As old as I need to be what?"

This time, the Buddha only gently smiled at me ... and after a few moments, I found myself smiling back ... with a "SilentKnowing" ... and my question answered ... "As old as I need to be."
