> Answer: 'His facial expression is joyful and radiant; he walks slowly, serenely, and uprightly, without losing one-pointedness of mind; his eyes do not cling to visible forms; possessing divine virtue and the power of concentration, he does not crave fame or profit; he shatters arrogance, his nature is gentle, he harbors no toxic malice, and he is free from stinginess and jealousy; his straightforward faith and mind are pure, he does not argue in doctrinal debates, his body is free of deceit, and he is easy to speak with; he is pliable, possesses shame and conscience, his mind constantly abides in the Dharma, he practices diligence earnestly, keeps the precepts completely, recites the sūtras with correct recollection, acts in accordance with the Dharma, his mind is always delighted, and he does not become angry in frustrating situations; among the four kinds of offerings, he does not accept what is impure, but accepts pure gifts, knowing moderation and being content; when waking and rising he is agile, able to practice the two kinds of giving, patient in eradicating the perverse, unpretentious in debate, and sparse in speech; humble and reverent toward senior, middle, and junior monks, he always draws near to and complies with good teachers and good spiritual friends; he is moderate in food and drink, not attached to the flavors of desire, delights in solitary, quiet places, and whether in suffering or pleasure, his mind patiently endures without moving, free from resentment and rivalry, not fond of strife and litigation. By these various characteristics, one may know the characteristics of one-pointedness of mind.'
