The Scripture of the Founding Master

Chapter Fifteen: Entrusting

13

The Founding Master said, “Foolish people do not understand the merit that rain and dew bring to heaven and earth; ordinary people do not understand the merit that sages bring to the world. Therefore, only after a drought will everyone appreciate the rain; only after sages have departed will everyone realize the gracious merits of their dharma.”
