Chapter Thirteen: On the Order 26

A newspaper published an article that commended our order and all the congregation was delighted. The Founding Master said, “If there are people who commend us, there will also appear those who will slander us. In the future, as the influence of our order flourishes further and our reputation grows, there will appear people who will be jealous of us. You must prepare yourselves for this, and not be overly influenced by other’s praise or criticism. Examining and checking yourselves, keep on practicing only what clearly is appropriate.”
