Elder Guang Qing
The path of Dharma practice has many differences from worldly paths. It is not about competing to see who is right or wrong. In the past, there were two disciples who were meditating. One sat in the meditation posture very well. The other was leaning to one side and sitting crookedly. But the teacher hit the disciple who was sitting well with a rope.
If it were modern practitioners, they would lose their temper and have all kinds of disturbing emotions. However, that disciple went to his teacher feeling ashamed and asked for further guidance and advice.
Dharma practice is not about proving who is right or wrong. You need this kind of kungfu (skills). Even if you are right and others say you are wrong, you can accept it... an ordained practitioner should not be talking about right or wrong. You accept it if it is right; you accept it if it is wrong. When you develop such patience and endurance, you will slowly diminish your perception of self (ie, self-clinging).
