又雜譬喻經云。佛在世時。有一婆羅門。生兩頭女。女皆端正。乃故懸金。九十日內。募索有能訶我女醜者。便當與金。竟無募者。將至佛所。佛便訶言。此女皆醜無有一好。阿難白佛言。此女實好而佛言惡。有何不好。佛言。人眼不視色。是為好眼。耳鼻口亦爾。身不著細滑。是為好身。手不盜他財。是為好手。今觀此女。眼視色。耳聽音。鼻嗅香。身喜細滑。手喜盜財。如此之者皆不好也。

Furthermore, the Za piyu jing says: When the Buddha was in the world, there was a brahman who had a two-headed daughter. Both [faces of] the girl were beautiful. He then intentionally hung up gold and, within ninety days, sought anyone who could revile his daughter as ugly, offering to give them the gold. In the end, no one answered the call. He brought her to the Buddha's place. The Buddha immediately reviled her, saying, 'This girl is completely ugly, with not a single good feature.' Ānanda addressed the Buddha, saying, 'This girl is truly beautiful, yet the Buddha calls her bad; what is bad about her?' The Buddha said, 'When a person's eyes do not look upon visual forms, these are good eyes. The ears, nose, and mouth are likewise. When the body does not cling to delicate smoothness, this is a good body. When the hands do not steal another's property, these are good hands. Now, observing this girl: her eyes look upon visual forms, her ears listen to sounds, her nose smells fragrances, her body delights in delicate smoothness, and her hands delight in stealing wealth. Such things as these are all not good.'
