Modeling himself after the Tiantai tradition, he produced the "Diagram of the Harmonious Merging of the Four Lands," the Morning Liturgy of Repentance, four-phrase verse chants, and the five-tone recitation of the Buddha's name, encouraging men and women to practice pure karma together. He styled himself the "Guide of the White Lotus," sat receiving prostrations from the assembly, strictly avoided alliums and dairy, abstained from killing, and refrained from alcohol; it was called the White Lotus Vegetarianism. Those who received his heterodox teachings called it "transmitting the Way"; those who engaged in illicit sexual congress with him called it "the Buddhadharma." When they met others, they were arrogant toward monks and contemptuous toward the people, stopping at nothing. Foolish men and foolish women misled and seduced one another in turn, and entire villages and fields delighted in their delusion. When someone reported them to the authorities, he was convicted precisely of the crime of "serving demons" and exiled to Jiangzhou. However, his remaining followers have emulated and practiced it, and to this day it remains widespread (Orthodox Lineage of the Buddhist Tradition). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 47.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.12) - [Next: 47.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.14) - [Up: 47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.47.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.13) · Pramāṇa
