He wore the white clothes of the layman, yet lived impeccably like a religious devotee. He lived at home, but remained aloof from the realm of desire, the realm of pure matter, and the immaterial realm. He had a son, a wife, and female attendants, yet always maintained continence. He appeared to be surrounded by servants, yet lived in solitude. He appeared to be adorned with ornaments, yet always was endowed with the auspicious signs and marks. He seemed to eat and drink, yet always took nourishment from the taste of meditation. He made his appearance at the fields of sports and in the casinos, but his aim was always to mature those people who were attached to games and gambling. He visited the fashionable heterodox teachers, yet always kept unswerving loyalty to the Buddha. He understood the mundane and transcendental sciences and esoteric practices, yet always took pleasure in the delights of the Dharma. He mixed in all crowds, yet was respected as foremost of all.

Even for the sake of white clothed ones, he upheld the conduct of Śramaṇas including Bhikṣus. He had stayed in the house for the sake of practice, but was not involved in the formless [state]. He had a wife, sons, and harems, and according to his own desire always practiced the abstinence. Even though he had family members, it was like he was always abiding in solitude. He appeared together with [ornaments] adorning his body and clothes to wear. He had food and drink, but inside was always like meditating. Even he played with dice and amused himself, he was always [there] for the sake of saving people. He guided all who followed false teachers by means of the Buddha’s teaching, never being discourteous to the scriptures. He, although depending upon all the secular teaching in the world, spoke well with enjoyment of the dharma and enjoyed it. He was respected by all crowds as a result of making the foremost offering.
