		The following selection, taken from Kern's translation from the original Sanskrit rendered in 1884, contains a parable of the burning house in which the superiority of the one vehicle over the three vehicles is shown.
		The use of parables in Buddhist sutras inspired the rise of morality tales, which often captured the life-style and sentiment of the common man. Two of the most representative compilations of such tales were the Konjaku Monogatarishu (Tales of the Old and New), and Uji Shui Monogatari (Tales from Uji) (Documents 7-9).
		And through these morality tales, Buddhist teachings found greater popular acceptance.
