His son came and asked for his inheritance. " The boy asks for an earthly inheritance which availeth nothing. I will give him a spiritual inheritance which fadeth not away. Let him be admitted among us." Buddha preached to all men alike, but it was to the poor that his teaching came home with peculiar force ; for he broke down the caste which degraded society; he taught 'them the way to escape from the sorrows of their daily life, and he held out to them a brighter future, dependent upon their ...goodness and their charity. He showed his love and compassion for them by be- coming a poor man himself, although born son of a king. The people were astonished: "Our young prince is gone mad!"t The priests were indignant that one not of their order should teach the people ; they were still more indignant when they heard him announce that no one was of a caste too low and despised but that he could attain to the moral perfection and the enlightenment of Buddha himself. Ananda, his favourite dis- ciple, meets a poor Chandala woman beside a well of water, and asks her for a drink.
