3.21

Sixin said to Zhantang: "Among students, those who possess talent, discernment, loyalty, trustworthiness, integrity, and righteousness are superior. Those whose talent may not be elevated, but who are cautious and magnanimous, are second. Those who perhaps harbor wickedness, wait to see which way the wind blows, and change according to the shift of power are true petty men. If they are placed before others, they will certainly ruin the monastic grove and defile the Dharma gate." (Veritable Record)
