The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Eleven: Maxims
10
The Founding Master said, “Those who have made a great vow to the great Way should not hope to accomplish it quickly. With quick steps one cannot walk a long distance; with an impatient mind one cannot achieve the great Way. That tall tree is the result of a small shoot growing for many years without decaying; buddhas and bodhisattvas are the result of accumulating merits over a long period of time without going back on their original vow.”
