A Zen Story

Anyone for a Zen Story? Well....there was this zen master whose master passed away. He started crying and lamenting the loss. One of the people present asked him "Why do you cry so much when you are yourself a master?"

He said "I am mourning my master because he was an extra-ordinary man".

The person asked "What was so extra-ordinary about him?"

The zen master said "He was the only extra-ordinary person I knew who considered himself ordinary!"
