Sounds more like Confucius to me! Especially the translated phrase as "rank and file"....................lol.

Subject: [Buddha-l] source of quote:ruler is just




Hi,

I have seen this quote attributed to the Buddha:

‘When the ruler of a country is just and good, the ministers become just and good, when the ministers are just and good, the higher officials become just and good, when the higher officials are just and good, the rank and file become just and good, when the rank and file become just and good, the people become just and good.’


Anyone know the source?

Thanks,
Rahula
