五分比丘尼戒本 1.406

1.406

「『譬如蜂採花，不壞色與香，
但取其味去。比丘入聚落，
不破壞他事，不觀作不作，
但自觀身行，諦視善不善。』

"'Just as a bee gathers nectar from a flower
Without harming its color or fragrance,
Taking only its essence and departing;
So a monk entering a village
Does not disrupt the affairs of others,
Nor looks at what they have done or left undone,
But only observes the actions of his own body,
Carefully watching whether they are good or bad.'"
