The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Twelve: Exemplary Acts
38
In meting out praise or blame to the members of the congregation, the Founding Master had five set standards in accordance with their spiritual capacities: first, the spiritual capacity in which one does everything so well that he does not need to use either praise or blame; second, the spiritual capacity in which one does a few things poorly while doing most things well, so he sets aside praise and only gives blame in order to help one overcome even minor faults; third, the spiritual capacity in which one does many things well and many things poorly, so he metes out both praise and blame; fourth, the spiritual capacity in which one does most things poorly but a few things well, so he sets aside blame and gives praise in order to encourage one's mind; fifth, the spiritual capacity in which one does everything poorly, so he metes out neither praise nor blame but simply observes one for the time being.”
