Recently heard on Bhante Sujato's Dhammanet podcast (available from the website and the usual aggregators):"A man found a piece of truth on the ground and picked it up. Seeing this, Mara smiled.
"'Why are you smiling?' asked the Buddha.
"'Just give him five minutes,' Mara answered. 'He'll make a doctrine out of it."
