The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Eleven: Maxims
37
The Founding Master said, “Breaking the important precepts against murder, robbery, or sexual misconduct is unwholesome, but cutting off a person’s right faith and blocking his or her road ahead over an infinity of kalpas (eons) and many lifetimes is an even greater transgression. Making offerings of money, clothes, and food is wholesome, but arousing right faith in others and opening up their road ahead over an infinity of kalpas and many lifetimes is an even greater good.”
