Silent in Reflection

A monk and his master walked by a lake. The master pointed to a fishing boat reflected perfectly on the still water and said, "Tell me, what do you see?"

The monk replied, "I see a boat floating in the sky."

The master nodded and asked, "And where is the real boat?"

The monk pointed to the water and said, "It floats on the lake."

The master smiled and said, "When you see the sky and the lake as one, where then is the boat?"

The monk was silent.
