I have for a long time, thought it interesting that the men upon whose philosophies most of the worlds great religions were founded seem to have never witten a word.
Jesus, Buddha, Lao-tzu, Mohammed, Abraham, (Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism), no books, no short stories, no articles, no videos, no CDs...
But lots of folks claim to know what they said.
I find it interesting that the fact that none of these religious fathers wrote down their own words is even an issue. If this has some sort of value, perhaps you are a Confucian? (The Master did write his own stuff, after all.)
