As for monks and nuns who break precepts: this refers to keeping slaves, bondservants, and servants; oxen, donkeys, carts, and mounts; fields, residences, plantations, gardens, and flowering fruits; gold, silver, grain, and silks; screens, fine cotton blankets, fine pillows, and delicate mats; chests, boxes, basins, and jars; copperware, plates, and bowls; superior-grade tricīvara; ivory couches and sitting pads; spacious rooms and extra buildings; kitchens, storehouses, pestles, and mills; grease, flour, medicinal wine, mixed fish and meat, pastes, and vinegars; exotic kinds of delicacies. They are esteemed by princes and dukes, recognized and known by many people. Their native families are wealthy and noble, and they visit relatives and old friends frequently; they send gifts and condolence visits, and submit petitions to government offices. Becoming heads of communities with powerful and flourishing followings, they debate and dispute in lecturing and enjoy music. Constantly residing in a single temple, they deliberate on saṅgha affairs, ostracizing and punishing one another; they ask about drought and flood, abundance and famine, bandits, floods, fires, and venomous beasts. They frequent wine shops, marketplaces, butcher shops, and hunters' homes; they consort with women, play the zither and lute, compose poetry, play weiqi and double-sixes, and read non-Buddhist classics; they speak loudly and laugh boisterously, harbor resentments, and quarrel; they drink wine and eat meat, and wear brocade and silk robes of five bright colors; they frequently shave their beards and hair, keeping their fingernails as sharp as blades; they store the eight impure things and are affluent in wealth and treasures. Greedy for, clinging to, accumulating, and not parting from such things as these is called true breaking of precepts. A sūtra says: 'Such bhikṣus are called bald householders; called thieves wearing kāṣāyas; called bald hunters; called people of the three paths; called shameless people; called icchantikas; called slanderers of the Triratna; called destroyers of the eyes of all dānapatis; called seeds of saṃsāra; called obstacles to the noble path.' Being far removed from these ten kinds of evil names is called the purified mind.
