9.30

There are Daoists who make images of Laozi with two bodhisattvas attending him: one is called Vajragarbha, and the other is called Avalokiteśvara. Furthermore, Daoists wear yellow cloth capes, or wear something like a cloak covering the entire body, stealing the appearance of Buddhist monks' kāṣāya robes. Their wearing of yellow capes was originally the clothing of ancient worthies, draped crosswise with two ribbons added in front; today, all of these have been eliminated to imitate the appearance of Buddhist monastic robes.
