The Long Āgama Sūtra 21.12

21.12

「如餘沙門、婆羅門受他信施，更求儲積，衣服飲食無有厭足，沙門瞿曇無有如此事。如餘沙門、婆羅門食他信施，自營生業，種殖樹木，鬼神所依，沙門瞿曇無如此事。如餘沙門、婆羅門食他信施，更作方便，求諸利養，象牙、雜寶、高廣大床、種種文繡、氍氀𣯚𣰆、綩綖被褥，沙門瞿曇無如此事。如餘沙門、婆羅門食他信施，更作方便，求自莊嚴，酥油摩身，香水洗浴，香末自塗，香澤梳頭，著好華鬘，染目紺色，拭面莊飾，鐶紐澡潔，以鏡自照，著寶革屣，上服純白，戴蓋執拂，幢麾莊飾，沙門瞿曇無如此事。

“‘There are other ascetics and priests who accept the faithful gifts of others and try to hoard robes, food, and drinks insatiably. The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’

“‘There are other ascetics and priests who eat the faithful alms of others and work in their own occupations, like planting trees to serve as shelters for demons and spirits. The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’

“‘There are other ascetics and priests who eat the faithful alms of others and pursue ways of getting benefits like high and wide beds made of ivory and assorted jewels and various embroidered carpets, blankets, and cushions. The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’

“‘There are other ascetics and priests who eat the faithful alms of others and pursue ways of adorning themselves. They rub their bodies with ghee, wash with perfume, apply fragrant powders, comb their hair with fragrant liquids, wear beautiful flower garlands, dye their eyes dark blue, and paint their faces. They wear metal rings and strings that are clean, look at themselves in mirrors, wear valuable leather shoes, wear pure white over their clothes, and carry parasols, fans, flags, and banners as ornaments. The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’
