Some say: ‘Unwholesome precepts are obtained only with respect to sentient beings one is able to kill, and unwholesome precepts are not obtained with respect to sentient beings that cannot be killed.’ Others say: ‘Unwholesome precepts are obtained with respect to all sentient beings, whether killable or unkillable.’ For instance, a butcher slaughtering sheep constantly harbors the mind to kill and intends to kill sheep without limit. Even if \[a being\] is currently among humans or devas and is not killed now, yet in wandering through births there is the principle of falling among sheep; therefore, unwholesome precepts are obtained with respect to all sentient beings. The twelve kinds of unwholesome discipline are also like this. The twelve kinds of unwholesome discipline are: first, a butcher; second, an executioner; third, a pig-raiser; fourth, a chicken-raiser; fifth, a fisherman; sixth, a hunter; seventh, a bird-fowler; eighth, a snake-catcher; ninth, a dragon-charmer; tenth, a jailer; eleventh, a bandit; twelfth, one regularly appointed by the royal house to capture bandits—these are the twelve types of persons with unwholesome discipline. Sericulture and the like are all considered not apart from unwholesome discipline. The precepts of unwholesome discipline are relinquished at three times: when the dying person's craving and attachment cease; when one receives the precepts of moral discipline; or when one receives the three refuges. At the initial first utterance, the unwholesome precepts are immediately relinquished; at the second and third utterances, the wholesome precepts are immediately obtained.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.119) - [Next: 6.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.121) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.6.120) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [薩婆多毘尼毘婆沙](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.sastra.sarvastivadavinayavibhasa*zh-t1440.1.109) — Classical Chinese - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.6.40) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.120) · Pramāṇa
