Anybody can be Jesus.
Anybody can be the Buddha.
All it takes is getting out of the way.

Jesus and the Buddha got out of the way.
And were one with what was called for,
with what needed to happen,
in each situation as it arose,
without imposing themselves--
in the form of their gain, their profit, their benefit, etc.
onto the situation.

They didn't do what they did for merit of any kind.
They did what they did because it was called for.
Because it needed to be done.

When we live like that--
with intentions that are pure
and unstained 
by our desire, will, good, etc.,
we will be them
and everything will shift to the good of the whole,
and everything will be better
because of the way we live
in each situation as it arises.

Live to be you being the Buddha,
live to be you being Jesus,
as only you can be the Buddha, Jesus,
in each situation as it arises,
by getting out of the way.

And "like that,"
the world is a better place
for everyone to be.

Just because we have gotten out of the way.
