Here is one version of Chuang Tsu's tale ...
Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, a veritable butterfly, enjoying itself to the full of its bent, and not knowing it was Chuang Chou.
Suddenly I awoke, and came to myself, the veritable Chuang Chou. Now I do not know whether it was then I dreamt I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
Between me and the butterfly there must be a difference. This is an instance of transformation.
Thank you for joining me in contemplation
on the pathway to Awareness!
