Accepted answer

Words of my Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche Padmakara ed. pg. 188 "There once was a man who saw a little clay tsa-tsa statue lying on the ground by the road. "If it stays there," he thought, "the rain wil soon ruin it; I'd better do something about it." So he covered it with an old leather shoe sole that had been left lying nearby. Another person, passing the same spot, thought to himself, "It's not right to have an old shoe sole covering that tsa-tsa," and so he took it off. As the fruit of their good intentions, both the one who covered the tsa-tsa and the one who removed the covering inherited kingdoms in their next lives. (Hope that helps).
