[Dhūta] The newer [translation] gives duda, translated here as "shaking off"; it is also called "cultivating and regulating", and also called "rinsing and purging". The Chuiyu ji says: "Because it shakes off the afflictions." The Suviddhitacittadāraka-sūtra says: "Dhūta means shaking off greed, anger, and delusion. If, regarding the six inner and outer sense bases of the triple realm, one neither grasps nor abandons, neither cultivates nor clings, I say that such a person is called a duda." Today it is mistakenly called dhūta. The Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra says: "Śāriputra! One who expounds the Dharma undertakes the twelve dhūtas: first, dwelling in the wilderness (āraṇyaka); second, always begging for food; third, wearing robes made of rags; fourth, eating at one sitting; fifth, regulating the amount of food; sixth, not drinking unboiled beverages after midday; seventh, dwelling in charnel grounds; eighth, dwelling beneath trees; ninth, dwelling in the open air; tenth, always sitting and never lying down; eleventh, begging for food in regular order; twelfth, possessing only three robes." The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa, fascicle 67, says: "The twelve dhūtas are not termed precepts. If one is able to practice them, they adorn the precepts; if one is unable to practice them, one does not violate the precepts." However, the treatise merely provides an extensive explanation following the order of the sūtra without distinguishing categories, so when various texts cite it they often make errors; thus this is pointed out here. The Nanshan lüchao states: "The categories are divided into four. Robes are two: first, robes made of rags; second, possessing only three robes. Food is four: first, begging for food; second, not partaking of remaining food; third, eating at one sitting; fourth, eating in a single lump (pronounced tu-duan; "lump" means mixed; "mixing into one" means not using various vessels to hold and store it, which is called 'eating in a single lump'). Dwelling is five: first, dwelling in the wilderness; second, charnel grounds; third, beneath trees; fourth, sitting in the open; fifth, sitting wherever one happens to be. Deportment is one: always sitting." Here there is no "begging in regular order", and "sitting wherever one happens to be" is added under dwelling. The Tongyuan ji quotes Nanshan as saying: "In this degenerate age the Buddha's Dharma esteems official honors, and opportunistic men falsely form cliques and factions. May they, on account of these words, examine themselves! As for treating profit and sustenance like a rope of hair, and looking upon the vermilion gates of the wealthy as humble huts of reeds: even thinking to drag one's tail [in the mud like a tortoise] still provokes mockery; how much more so when one treats a patron's spits and coughs as gracious favors, regards their glances as adornment, secretly establishes intimate ties, and forcibly bustles in attendance! Even though one might borrow temporary favor for a time, in the end one is ridiculed by the multitude; honor does not compensate for disgrace—what a terrible delusion!"
