ZARATHUD'S ENLIGHTENMENT |
|
|
|
Before he became a hermit, Zarathud was a young Priest, and took great |
|
delight in making fools of his opponents in front of his followers. |
|
|
|
One day Zarathud took the students to a pleasant pasture and there |
|
he confronted The Sacred Chao while She was contentedly grazing. |
|
|
|
"Tell me, you dumb beast," demanded the Priest in his commanding |
|
voice, "why don't you do something worthwhile? What is your purpose |
|
in life, anyway?" |
|
|
|
Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred Chao replied, "MU."* |
|
|
|
Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened. Primarily |
|
because nobody could understand Chinese. |
|
|
|
---------- |
|
* "MU" is the Chinese ideogram for NO-THING. |
