Chapter Thirteen: On the Order 40

The Founding Master addressed the ministers, 　“When you speak or write for the sake of sentient beings, do not expound empty theories that are irrelevant to everyday life in order to curry favor; do not exaggerate the facts, use specious, odd, or difficult words, or state views leading to warped practice. Those words are of no benefit to the world and will not produce persons of the Way.”
