A man who was escaping from a group of bandits came to a vast stretch of water that was in his way.He knew that this side of the shore was dangerous and the other side was safe. However, there was no boat going to the other shore, nor was there any bridge for crossing over. So he quickly gathered wood, branches and leaves to make a raft, with the help of the raft, he crossed over safely to the other side.
"
The Noble Eight fold Path taught by the Buddha is like the raft. It would take us from the suffering of this shore to the other shore of no suffering."
