18.9

In the answer to the second question: "gentle and tame by nature" means afflictions are exhausted and latencies are also eliminated, like skillfully smelted gold that is supremely gentle and malleable. Second, "skillful in means regarding all who are to be tamed and what can tame": because of skillfully understanding faculties and dispositions, one has skillful means toward those who are to be tamed; and because of providing medicine according to illness, one has skillful means in that which can tame. Third, "endowed with great compassion", laboring for sentient beings over a long time without weariness. Fourth, material offerings are not regarded as supreme; one only rejoices when offerings of practice are undertaken.
