The creature was smaller than Ananda's hand. Ananda did not know how it came to be there. He sat off at some distance and waited for its parents to return. Evening came, and no one had come to claim the creature. Ananda knew he could not leave this little being alone for the night, so he took it back to where the brothers were staying. The Master had given strict instructions not to be disturbed, and a monk was posted near him to guard against interruptions. But Ananda knew that in circumstances such as this, the Master would, indeed, want to be disturbed. So begins The Bunnysattva Sutra, the central scripture of the Eastern School of Broad Buddhism.
