Monks lacking genuine virtue within while relying on external ornament and contrivance are like a ruined, leaking boat heavily coated with red lacquer, steered by wooden puppets. Placed on dry land, it truly looks magnificent; but once it crosses rivers and lakes and braves wind and waves, can it avoid danger?'
