禪林寶訓 2.34

2.34

圓悟謂隆藏主曰。欲理叢林。而不務得人之情。則叢林不可理。務得人之情而不勤於接下。則人情不可得。務勤接下而不辨賢不肖。則下不可接。務辨賢不肖。而惡言其過悅順其己。則賢不肖不可辨。惟賢達之士不惡言過不悅順己。惟道是從。所以得人情而叢林理矣（廣錄）。

Yuanwu said to Library Keeper Long, "If one wishes to manage a monastic grove without striving to gain people's sentiments, the monastic grove cannot be managed. If one strives to gain people's sentiments without diligently receiving subordinates, people's sentiments cannot be gained. If one strives to diligently receive subordinates without distinguishing the worthy from the unworthy, subordinates cannot be received. If one strives to distinguish the worthy from the unworthy, yet hates being told of one's faults and delights in compliance with oneself, the worthy and unworthy cannot be distinguished. Only worthy and eminent individuals do not hate being told of their faults, nor delight in compliance with themselves; they follow only the Way. Therefore they gain people's sentiments, and the monastic grove is well managed." (*Extensive Record*)
