ephiriel...
There's this chap who, while travelling around in Asia learns of a new religion which preaches peace, tolerance, understanding and kindness to all things.
Fascinated, he pursues it and investigates its origins.
Eventually, he gets a chance to meet its leader, and he is escorted, alone, into the sanctum sanctorum - a small room in a very ordinary house.
There, he meets its leader, who tells him that following his teachings will ensure that you are reincarnated as a better being, until eventually you don't get reincarnated at all but reach a level of mystical enlightenment and unending ecstacy.
When he eventually emerges, he wears an expression of awe and wonder and great happiness. His friends ask him how it was.
At which point he says...
"I can't believe it's not Buddha!"
