I just received an email that looks like phishing.
Is this legit?

"The Buddha resides as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain."

Yeah it's legit. Paitain I believe is a gross misspelling of "patient."
Also, you actually need to be phishing for information in order to be phishing, and nowhere in that email (which I also received) does it solicit information!
I never received it.![]()

When you hover over the link, it'll show you the actual destination at the bottom of either your email client or browser. So if it says "www.knifeforums.com" in the body of the email, but in your status bar it says "www.knifeforumslol.com/yougotavirusfool" you can avoid it.
Here's an example I drew up (this is for DEMONSTRATION AND PARODY ONLY - NOT AN ACTUAL EMAIL)
