Shantang said to Ye'an: “An abbot must maintain an impartial mind in conducting affairs, and not insist that things come from himself to be considered right, while taking others to be wrong. Then likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements will not arise in the mind, and the vapors of violence, arrogance, and perversity will have no avenue of entry” (Huan'an ji).
