Contemplation: Never Despise

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

At that time, the fourfold assembly
Was becoming attached
To its own interpretation of the Dharma.
The Bodhisattva Never Despise
Would go to them and say:
I do not belittle you;
Practice the path
And you will all become Buddhas.

from The Lotus Sutra, chapter 20, as recited at Tendai Buddhist Institute.
