Legend of the Golden Chair
The evil deities were gathered together plotting to take over the world. Buddha heard of their plan and challenged the foremost deity to a race to the summit Everest (Sagarmatha). The evil deity sped quickly off while the Buddha remained seated in his chair. After a time, deep in meditation, the Buddha floated to the top of the mountain, winning the race and defeating the evil deity for all time.
