No Buddha!!
Ajahn Chah listened to one of his disciples recite the Heart
Sutra. When he had finished, Ajahn Chah said, "No emptiness ...no
Bodhisattva." He then asked, "Where did the Sutra come from?"
"It's reputed to have been spoken by the Buddha," the follower
replied. "No Buddha!!" retorted Ajahn Chah. Then he said, "This
is talking about deep wisdom, beyond all conventions. How could we teach
without conventions? We have to have names for things, isn't that so?"
