Here is my favorite buddhist story... Sorry as I am pretty sure I posted it already a year ago or more

There was this buddhist monk sitting under a tree and one of his student came by.
He bowed and asked
" Master how many more incarnations before I get enlightenment ?"
Themaster Looks at him and says :
" Three more .'
And the student thanks him, walks away and he is sulkily sighing, " oh my goodness, three more, three more ! "

and comes this other student, who bows to the monk,
and he asks :
" Master, how many more incarnations before I get enlighment ? "

And the master looks at him and says :
" Three hundred twenty seven more. "

The young student bows and thanks him and he walks away, and he is jumping up and down as he walks up the little path towards the monastery and says loud " Yes !!! three hundred and twenty seven more, three hundred and twenty seven more !!!! Yes !! " and as he reaches the top of the little path he gets enlightened.
