禪林寶訓 2.20

2.20

Lingyuan said: 'Whenever an abbot's position exceeds their capacity, they seldom have a good end. This is because their blessings and virtue are shallow, their tolerance is narrow, their learning and experience are vulgar, and they are unable to follow goodness and strive for righteousness to broaden themselves, thus bringing about such an end.' (*Rilu*).
