A tailor wanted all his life to go see the Dalai Lama at his residence in India. After saving for some years and then negotiating for a personal audience, he finally was granted his wish. He made the journey and was ushered into the presence of His Holiness...
When he returned home, all his friends gathered around and asked him what he had learned and experienced. The tailor decided not to waste any words: "His Holiness," he announced, "is a 39-C."
