</div><br>A Zen master was travelling with two of his students. On one leg of the trip, their driver told them that the area they were entering was notorious for attacks by a man-eating lion. When they reached their destination, the master opened one of his bags, took out a pair of running shoes, and put them on. One student asked why he was doing this, to which the master responded: "Don't you remember what the driver said about the lion?" The other student laughed and said: "Do you think that those shoes will give you the speed to surpass that of a lion?".
<br><br>The master shook his head, and said "No shoes will let me outrun a lion. Fortunately, I don't need to do that. I only have to run faster than the slowest of my companions." With this, the students were enlightened.
