Gautama the Buddha...

"Addressing the disciple Ananda, the Master said:

'I have taught the Dhamma,

Ananda, without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine;

for in respect of the truths, Ananda,

the Tathagata has no such thing as the
closed fist of a teacher who hides some essential knowledge from the pupil.'
