He was still a novice. His goal was to become an Arahat, a worthy person. He
had given up all his possessions, his family and his friends. He had
studied Tripikita night and day and had strove to follow the Noble
Eightfold Path, but it was not enough. He had not reached the inner
peace, the perfection, the Nirvana necessary to finally become a lama.
Then the toothache came. It would not stop no matter how much he tried to
meditate. Yoga failed. He had to visit the dentist who found caries
extending down to the root. He would need a root canal operation. He
readily agreed. Anything to stop the pain. The dentist offered Novacaine
or Nitrous Oxide. He refused. He had the entire root canal done without
any type of anesthesia.
And when the operation was finished he knew that he had reached his goal
in life. He was finally able to ... transcend dental medication.
