No. 15
of The Thirty-Seven Practices of all Buddha's Sons
If in the midst of a large crowd of people
Someone should single us out for abuse,
Exposing our faults before all within hearing
And pointing out clearly the flaws we still have;
Then not getting angry nor being defensive,
Just listening in silence and heeding his words,
Bow in respect to this man as our teacher -
The Sons of the Buddhas all practise this way.
