Therefore, one who harms the worthy is foolish; one who conceals the worthy is ignorant; one who is jealous of the worthy is deficient. Gaining the glory of one's own single person is not as good as gaining the fame of an entire generation; gaining the fame of an entire generation is not as good as gaining a single worthy patch-robed monk, so that later students have a teacher and the monastic grove has a master."
