Advice to Dharma Teachers


If those before you are ready
tell them the Buddha's teaching
and if they aren't truly ready
bow and tell them to be good
there's nothing to argue about in this teaching
those who argue lose sight of the Way
clinging to blindness arguing about the teachings
they lead their nature into birth and death.

---Hui-neng, the Sixth Patriarch---
