Authorship
One Buddhist master students read an excellent text that has touched everyone. The disciples immediately asked:
- Who wrote it?
- If I say that this is the Buddha, you will be in awe of the text, place each morning to give him flowers and bows. If I say that this text is the patriarch, you will experience great reverence, but will not bow before him as before the text of the Buddha. If I say that the author was a monk, you're probably confused. And if you know that the text was written by our chef, you simply will laugh, - said the teacher.
