The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Four: The Way of Humanity
7
The Founding Master read Dong Zhongshu’s words: “While focusing solely on righteousness, he does not contrive to profit; while illuminating only the Way, he does not calculate the merit.” He praised it, then added another line at the end: “If, while focusing solely on righteousness, he does not seek profit, then an even greater profit will return to him; if, while illuminating the Way, he does not calculate the merit, then an even greater merit will return to him.”
