When Buddha was on
his death bed he noticed his young disciple Anan was weeping. 'Why are
you weeping, Anan?' he asked. 'Because the light of the world is about
to be extinguished and we will be in darkness.' The Buddha summoned up
all his remaining energy and spoke what were to be his final words on
earth: 'Anan, Anan, be a light unto yourself.'
