Brahmā, bodhisattvas do not kill living creatures under the sway of attachment, nor do they kill under the sway of hatred or delusion. They hold other sentient beings and other people dear, just as they hold themselves and those they love dear. They do not themselves kill other sentient beings or other people, nor do they cause others to kill, nor do they rejoice in any act of killing done by others. They do not themselves cut beings, nor do they cause others to cut them, nor do they rejoice in any cutting done by others. They do not themselves strike, nor do they cause others to strike, nor do they rejoice when others strike.

“How do they renounce taking what is not given? Brahmā, bodhisattvas have no desire for the worldly possessions of beings, such as gold, jewels, pearls, beryl, conch shells, crystal, coral, gold dust, silver, and so on, or for clothing, adornments of various kinds, cattle, grain, stores, or for any kind of pleasing thing. Since they do not even give them a thought, they do not steal or take them. They do not steal, nor do they cause others to steal, nor do they rejoice in the act of stealing. Whether they are in a city or a remote place, they do not take anything, not even a blade of grass, that has not been given to them.

“How do they renounce unchaste conduct? Brahmā, bodhisattvas always protect the doors of their sense faculties. They are thoroughly restrained. They only go to suitable places. They are mindful to be well guarded. They are mindful to always be guarded. And with such mindfulness, their minds are safeguarded.
