Udanavarga 1.118

1.118

「比丘謹慎戒，放逸多憂𠎝，
變諍小致大，積惡入火焚。
守戒福致喜，犯戒有懼心，
能斷三界漏，此乃近涅槃。」

“A Bhikshu diligently adheres to the rules (of his calling). A man who is careless and negligent in these, accumulates much sorrow. He who carefully attends to little matters, arrives at great results; he who accumulates evil actions must enter the fiery pit. But guarding the precepts, then one's happiness increases, and the gladness consequent upon it, as the contrary neglect of them leads to remorse and bitterness of heart. The Bhikshu who is able to get rid of all remnants of worldly attachment (the three worlds), this one is verily near to Nirvāna.”
