2.239
"He displays the enjoyment of the five desires, / And also displays the practice of dhyāna, / Causing the minds of māras to be thrown into confusion, / Unable to find an opportunity. / A lotus flower growing in fire / May truly be called rare; / Practicing dhyāna while amidst desires / Is likewise just as rare." / Seven verses clarify gathering beings through sharing their activities. Zhao says: "If you say he practices dhyāna, he also enjoys the five desires; if you say he enjoys desires, he also manifests the practice of dhyāna. Because they cannot fathom his transformations, they are confused. Unless one's aim unifies purity and confusion, who could match him?" / "Or he manifests as a courtesan, / Enticing those who fondle beauty; / First hooking them with desire, / He later brings them to enter the Buddha's wisdom." / Zhao says: "Turning desire back into compliance."
