24.27

"First cultivate the Dharma oneself, / And only then instruct other people; / Then one may make this statement: / 'You should follow what I practice.' / If one's own body practices unwholesomeness, / How can one cause others to be good? / If one has not attained tranquility oneself, / How can one cause others to be tranquil?"
