Practitioners should not discuss others' right or wrong, or claim their own ability and understanding while slighting those who have not studied--this is not a pure mind.
When your intrinsic nature always produces insightful wisdom, you act with an impartial, kind, and compassionate mind, and respect all people, this is the pure mind of a practitioner.
If you do not purify your own mind, but get obsessed with a pure state, your mind dwells on something--this is attachment to an image of a phenomenon.
---Hui-neng, in his commentary on the Diamond Sutra---
