禪林寶訓 2.34

2.34

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*)
