宋高僧傳 9.7

9.7

系曰：人之情也有愛、惡焉，愛之者不見可惡，惡之者不見可愛矣。夫萬物紛綸，任其愛惡，折中之道，可愛而不可惡。愛之者君子也，惡之者小人也，愛之不以道，則君子之病矣。裴尹冠裳在御，職事在躬，不避密行，顯掇時謗，宜哉。譬諸僧耽俗務，胡不捨袈裟而衣逢掖乎？若實得道，後終期脫屣，有何不可耶？寬不抽簪，何悖禮於丘之門歟？寬若行方外之道，復何誅焉。達人大觀，物無不可矣。

The appraisal states: In human emotions there are love and hatred: those who love do not see what is hateful, and those who hate do not see what is lovable. Amid the myriad tangled things, though people follow their loves and hatreds, the middle path is lovable and not to be hated. Those who love it are gentlemen; those who hate it are petty men. Yet to love it not in accord with the Dao is a flaw in a gentleman. Governor Pei wore the robes and cap of high office and bore official duties upon himself; without avoiding secret observances, he openly drew contemporary slander—and rightly so. For instance, if monks indulge in worldly affairs, why do they not discard the kāṣāya and wear scholar's robes? If one has truly attained the Dao and finally casts off office like worn sandals, what could be wrong with that? Since Kuan did not take off his hairpin of office, why did he violate propriety before the gate of Confucius? But if Kuan was practicing the transcendent Dao outside the worldly realm, what blame could there be? To the grand vision of the enlightened, nothing in the world is unacceptable.
