Teachers should always to be venerated. Then, if the teacher has been satisfied (santoṣita), all the moving and immobile world has been satisfied. There is no one who is equal to the teacher in the mortal world, especially in the heavens. What (more) should one who saves from the great ocean of suffering do? It is the disciple who acts (at the service of his teacher)”.
