El maestro Bankei estaba dirigiendo un curso de oración, la gente de todo el Japón acudió para aprender, se inscribieron muchos y no hubo distingo para ello; sin embargo, uno de los asistentes era un ladrón y sorprendido cometiendo sus fechorías. Todos fueron donde Bankei, le informaron y le pidieron para que lo sacara, ante tal solicitud hizo caso omiso a la solicitud.
Días después el mismo alumno fu sorprendido robando, todos enardecidos presentaron una petición formal para que fuese expulsado, amenazando que de no hacerse, ellos abandonarían el grupo de estudio.
Ante ello, el maestro Bankei tomó la palabra y dijo: "Ustedes son sabios y honrados. Ustedes saben discernir entre el bien y mal. Ustedes pueden estudiar donde decidan, pero nuestro hermano no ha aprendido nada. ¿Han pensado quién le enseñará de no hacerlo yo? por eso es mi deseo que se quede así implique que todos se vayan".

Teaching for life
The master Bankei was conducting a prayer course, people from all over Japan came to learn, many were enrolled and there was no distinction for it; however, one of the attendees was a thief and caught committing his misdeeds. They all went to Bankei, informed him and asked him to get him out, but he ignored the request.
A few days later, the same student was caught stealing, and all of them were furious and presented a formal request for his expulsion, threatening that if he was not expelled, they would leave the study group.
In response, Master Bankei spoke up and said: "You are wise and honest. You know how to discern between good and evil. You can study wherever you choose, but our brother has not learned anything. Have you thought about who will teach him if I don't? That is why I want him to stay even if it means that everyone leaves.
