High-born fool

Two Zen teachers, Daigu and Gudu, were invited to the master. When they arrived, Gudu said to the master:

—You are wise by nature and have an innate ability for Zen.

“Nonsense,” said Daigu. - Why are you flattering this idiot?! He may be a master, but he doesn’t understand anything about Zen.

The gentleman built the temple of Daigu, not Gudu, and began to study Zen under his guidance.
