Greene mentions Si nian chu 四念處 T1918 as an example of a text which uses the image of “wood draped in cloth” for unworthy monks wearing monastic robes. He claims that this usage is drawn from Zui sheng miao ding jing 最妙勝定經, an early sixth century Chinese composition found at Dunhuang that contains “an influential prophecy of the decline of the Dharma.” Greene cites Sekiguchi Shindai 関口真大, Tendai shikan no kenkyū 天台止觀の研究 (Tokyo: Iwanami Shoten 1969), 401.
