禪林寶訓 2.3

2.3

Zhantang said: 'Those who have the Way and virtue rejoice in the community; those who lack the Way and virtue rejoice in themselves. Those who rejoice in the community endure; those who rejoice in themselves perish. Nowadays, many who are called abbots confront the community with their personal likes and dislikes, and so the community opposes them. Rare indeed are those who, liking someone, still know their faults, and disliking someone, still know their merits. Therefore it is said: To share sorrows and joys with the community, and to share their likes and dislikes—this is righteousness. Wherever righteousness resides, who under Heaven will not turn to it?' (Two matters from the *Leike zhuiyou ji*).
