"Entering into the relation of teacher and lay supporter is the result of a bond that bridges the three existences. Never seek the three benefits of sowing, maturing and harvesting from anyone else. These golden words cannot possibly be wrong: 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' and 'If one stays close to the teachers of the Law, one will speedily gain the way of enlightenment. By following and learning from these teachers one will see Buddhas as numerous as Ganges sands.' ... You should exert yourself in faith all the more!"
