穷则独善其身 When Lacking, Learn to improve Self




穷则独善其身,达则兼济天下
意思是不得志的时候就要管好自己的道德修养
得志的时候就要努力让天下人就是指百姓都能得到好处。

Meaning: When still lacking or unrecognised, must first learn to control one's behaviour and adhere to being righteous & virtuous.
When being recognised, then one should work hard for the benefit of all beings.

Like cultivation, one starts from being lacking in knowledge & have to learn and build foundation.
When one has attainment, then one should then cultivate with Boddhicitta for the benefit of all beings!

Hahaha!

The above is one of Mencius.

Good things must be shared! :)
