8.61

釋曰。經云。浮圖者。聖瑞靈圖浮海而至。故云浮圖也。吳中石佛泛海儵來。即其事矣。今子毀圖像之圖。為刑屠之屠。則泰伯端委而治故無慚德。仲雍剪髮文身從俗致化。遭子今日必罹吠聲之尤事。有似而非非而似者。外書以仲尼為聖人。內經云。尼者。女也。或有謂仲尼為女子。子豈信之哉。猶如屠圖之相類。亦何以殊。

The explanation says: The sutra says that futu means 'the holy omen and wondrous chart (tu) floated (fu) across the sea and arrived; hence it is called futu.' The stone Buddha of Wu floating over the sea and suddenly arriving was just such an event. Now you distort the tu of 'image and chart' into the tu of 'punishment and slaughter'. Taibo governed with hair neatly bound and cap adjusted, so he had no shameful conduct; Zhongyong cut his hair and tattooed his body to follow the local customs and bring about transformation. If they met you today, they would surely suffer your thoughtless barking. Things may seem right but be wrong, or seem wrong but be right. Secular books take Zhongni (Confucius) to be a sage; the inner sutras say that ni means 'woman'. If someone were to call Zhongni a woman, could you possibly believe it? That is just like confusing 'slaughter' (tu) and 'image' (tu)—how are they any different?
