Contemplation: Regardless of Rank

After reviewing the guidelines for practice, take the following as your object of contemplation:

All those in the Shuryogon'in, no matter what their rank, shall regard each other as they might their parents, teachers, or siblings.  They shall not constantly point out each other's faults.

from Ennin's "Rules for the Shuryogon'in", published in Paul Groner, Ryogen, p. 307
