The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Three: Practice
52
The Founding Master addressed the congregation, “The reason people want to know the Way is to be able to apply it when needed. If you don’t know how to apply it in situations where it is necessary, you might as well not know it at all. What benefit would there be?” He then held up the fan he was holding and said, “I may have this fan, but if I don’t know to use it when it’s hot, what value will there be in having a fan?”
