THE METAPHOR OF AN UMBRELLA AND RAIN BOOTS
Master Jun Hong Lu: In conducting ourselves, we should be like an umbrella; in the way we work, we should be like rain boots.

Similarly, rain boots who are entrusted with the great responsibility of carrying the entire weight of others, surely the mud and water are the least of its worries.
