4.74

One day the master saw two fundraising directors returning from the city and asked: "Relying on what did you enter the city to teach and transform sentient beings?" A monk said: "Although having a good intention, there is no good recompense." The second monk said: "Misfortune does not enter the gate of a prudent family." The master said: "What is close to fire scorches first."
