The Long Āgama Sūtra 16.32

16.32

爾時，善生白世尊言：「甚善！世尊！實過本望，踰我父教，能使覆者得仰，閉者得開，迷者得悟，冥室燃燈，有目得視。如來所說，亦復如是，以無數方便，開悟愚冥，現清白法。所以者何？佛為如來、至真、等正覺，故能開示，為世明導。今我歸依佛、歸依法、歸依僧，唯願世尊聽我於正法中為憂婆塞，自今日始，盡形壽不殺、不盜、不婬、不欺、不飲酒。」

At that point, Sujata said to the Bhagavān, “Very good, Bhagavān! That was what I hoped to do before, but it goes beyond my father’s instruction. The Tathāgata’s explanation is like turning upright what’s overturned, opening up something closed, bringing understanding to what’s confused, and a lamp in a dark room to those with eyes to see. He awakens the fool who’s in the dark with countless methods that make the clean teaching plain.

“Why is that? The Buddha is a Tathāgata, Arhat, and Completely Awakened One, so he’s able to reveal clear instruction to the world. Now, I take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Saṅgha. Bhagavān, please permit me to become a layman in the correct teaching! Starting today, I will not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie, or drink alcohol for the rest of my life.”
