Buddha and Jesus

Now, one day, a devout Buddhist died and his soul traversed to the gate of Heaven.

There, to his great astonishment, he met Christ and standing behind our Lord was Buddha smiling compassionately at him.

The good Buddhist then asked Buddha why was he – Buddha – there?

Buddha looked at him most lovingly and said, "I told you I can show you the way to Nirvana but you got to help yourself, didn't I?"

Looking over to Jesus, Buddha told the good Buddhist, "He is the judge!"

Buddha continued, "Anyway, well done, you made it too, my friend!"

Then, Jesus said to this good chap, "Welcome, my good and faithful servant...."
