The person who are not restrained by reason nor judgement, very angry, mentally ill. However, if someone calls themselves Mad or Crazy, they may not be so, as they pretend to be so, and they do so for a certain purpose, such as avoiding the attention of others who may harm them if they find out who the latter are. In history, there were many characters who put on such such unusual masks as Mad or Crazy, Beggar, Drunkard, etc, so that they hide their identity more effectively lest they should risk being put in danger. These people might pursue a covert mission. In this case, Lord Master played this role for many reasons:
First, Lord Master has accomplished His full enlightenment and went back to the world as a Bodhisattva to save the world. Thus, given that a lot of people would obstruct His mission if they knew it straight away, He might not be able to test their level of moral practice, and to teach them when they realize they made a mistake.
Second, there were a lof authorities from different government levels would suspect Him of plotting their government if He attracted a lot of followers. In order to avoid the intelligence agents, He must pretend to be a commoner, a poor or disabled person.
In the context of the Oracles Six Volumes, the style name of Mad is that of the Master Buddha of the Jewel Mountain and Strange Fragrance, who was acting as the leader of the tour of the Six Provinces with His three Disciples, who may be Sir Nguyen Trung Truc, Sir Cu Đa (that is Master of Hoa Hao Buddhism), and the unknown.
One thing we would like to reiterate is that at that time, a Master and Servant had not shown their bodies yet, there was only him The Master (Buddha Master Tay An) is only Master Huynh. So we shouldn’t search for your third person if the style names adopted are just symbolic and does not need become the subject for further discussion. Master Huynh said:
There is no form, but there is a shadow (True Spirit or Dharmakaya). Mr. Su Va Ban Khoai said:
“God and Buddha have an invisible image, and so does the Holy Spirit who is majestic.”
The Master also gave it know:
“Even though visible, I’m invisible,
The folks don’t know that I came back from the majestic court.”
