Hello, could I get help on this, please and thank you! {Attachment}

"1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show
favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine
clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special
attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say
to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," 4 have you not
discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my
dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the
world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6
But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not
the ones who are dragging you into court?"
-James 2:1-6, King James Bible

"The Buddha continued speaking, “Nidhi, will you come and be one of my monks?"
Nidhi was shocked by what he thought he had heard. He said, "I am a low and filthy
person, and I am not good enough to be one of your monks. I know your monks are all
of the warrior and Brahmin castes. I am not good enough to be among people like that!"
The Buddha only smiled when he heard Nidhi say that. Then he said, "Nidhi, we don't
think like that at all. My Dharma is like clean water. It can wash the defilements away
from anyone and anything. My Dharma is like fire, and it can burn away all ignorance.
My Dharma is like the ocean, which can hold anything in it. Among us monks, there is
no distinction between class or caste, high or low, better or worse. All such distinctions
are the merest of illusions."
-Story told by Venerable Master Hsing Yun
