A visiting scholar went
to the old temple to find out all he could about the Dao. He had heard many
great things about the master who lived there. He was escorted to see the
master. “Good, now I’ll find out something’ he said. Upon meeting the master,
he quickly demanded answers. “What is this Dao all about? Why is it so great?” The
master said “I’m not really sure. I couldn’t tell you.” The scholar became both
disappointed and enraged. “What do you mean you don’t know? I was told you were
the wisest one here! Who are you?” asked the visitor. The old master said “I
don’t know.”
