Who he?

His claim to fame was named like this:

Before he became a hermit, Zarathud was a young Priest, and took great delight in making fools of his opponents in front of his followers.

One day Zarathud took his students to a pleasant pasture and there he confronted The Sacred Chao while She was contentedly grazing.

“Tell me, you dump beast,” demanded the Priest in his commanding voice, “Why don’t you do something worthwhile. What is your Purpose in Life, anyway?”

Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred Chao replied “MU*”.

Upon hearing this, absoloutly nobody was enlightened. Primarily because nobody could understand Chinese.

* “MU” is the Chinese Ideogram for NO-THING.
