该句通过并列结构对比吸引力与管理缺失。
Anyone who has visited a temple knows that upon entering, the first figure you see is Amitabha Buddha, smiling warmly at visitors, while to his north stands the stern-faced Wei Tuo.
Long ago, they each managed separate temples. Amitabha Buddha was cheerful and welcoming, attracting many worshippers, but he neglected financial management, leaving the temple in deficit. Wei Tuo, on the other hand, was skilled at handling accounts, but his constant stern demeanor drove people away, and eventually the temple’s offerings ceased.
The Buddha placed them together in the same temple, assigning Amitabha Buddha to public relations to greet visitors with a smile, which revitalized the temple’s attendance, while Wei Tuo oversaw finances with strict oversight. Through their division of responsibilities, the temple flourished.
This story illustrates that in managing people, no one is truly useless; the key lies in applying each person's strengths appropriately.
去过庙的人都知道，一进庙门，首先映入眼帘的是弥陀佛，他面带笑容迎接众人，而在他的北面，则是黑口黑脸的韦陀。
相传很久以前，他们各自掌管不同的庙。弥乐佛热情快乐，吸引了许多信众，但他对管理账务毫不在意，庙里的收支仍然入不敷出。而韦陀虽然擅长管账，但因成天阴沉严肃，信众逐渐减少，最后香火断绝。
佛祖将他们放在同一座庙中，由弥乐佛负责接待信众，笑迎八方来客，使香火兴旺；韦陀则负责财务，严格把关。在两人分工合作下，庙里欣欣向荣。
这个故事告诉我们，管理人才时，没有废人，关键在于如何合理运用每个人的长处。
