MY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE.....!!!

The abbot of a once famous Buddhist monastery that had fallen into decline became
deeply troubled. Monks were lax in their practice, novices were leaving and lay
supporters deserting to other centers. The abbot traveled far to a sage and recounted his tale of woe, of how much he desired to transform his monastery to the flourishing haven it had been in days of yore.
The sage looked him in the eye and said, "The reason your monastery has languished is
that the Buddha is living among you in disguise, and you have not honored him." The
abbot hurried back, his mind in turmoil.
The Selfless One was at his monastery! Who could he be? Brother Hua? No, he was full
of sloth. Brother Po? No, he was too dull. But then the Tathagata was in disguise. What better disguise than sloth or stupidity? He called his monks to him and revealed the sage's words. They, too, were taken aback and looked at each other with suspicion and awe.
Which one of them was the Chosen One?

The disguise was perfect. Not knowing who he was they took to treating everyone with
the respect due to a Buddha. Their faces started shining with an inner radiance that
attracted novices and then lay supporters.

In no time at all, the monastery far surpassed its previous glory.
