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 his 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". (The Chinese
ideogram for
NO-THING.)
Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened.
Primarily because nobody understood Chinese.
