Question

Buddha had a great number of followers, or disciples, who followed him from place to
place. One day one of them came up to him and said, "O blessed one you are certainly the
greatest of all teachers who ever lived." Buddha was not flattered by this praise. Instead he
asked the disciple, "Tell me, have you met all the great teachers who have appeared in the
world?" "No, of course not," he answered. "And do you know all the teachers who are alive
now or will be born in the future?" "No, I do not," he answered again. And so the Buddha
said, "Then it is foolish to say that I am the greatest of all teachers. You have no way of
knowing if this is true or not." But I only wanted to praise you because your teachings are
so excellent and helpful," the disciple replied. Then Buddha said, "if you find my teaching
helpful
, the best thing to do is practise them. Do not waste your energy praising me. The
only reason I have come in to the world is to teach others. If you want to please me, follow
the teachings. This will please me much more than praise."
