大方便佛報恩經 6.122

6.122

答曰：「一說言：『我作屠兒。』即捨善戒；第二第三說：『我作屠兒。』即得惡戒。又云：『隨何時捨善戒，即得惡戒。若善戒人未自誓作屠兒，但以貪利共屠兒作殺害事，爾時名犯善戒。求捨善戒，求得惡戒，必自誓作屠兒而得惡戒。』若受惡戒，自誓便得，不從他受。若欲受一日、二日，乃至十日、一年、二年惡律儀戒，隨誓心久近，隨意即得。所以爾者，以是惡法順生死流，無勝進義，是故隨事即得，不同善律儀戒。」

Answer: “With one utterance, saying, ‘I will be a butcher,’ the wholesome precepts are immediately relinquished; with the second and third utterances, saying, ‘I will be a butcher,’ the unwholesome precepts are immediately obtained. It is also said: ‘Whenever wholesome precepts are relinquished, unwholesome precepts are immediately obtained. If a person endowed with wholesome precepts has not yet vowed himself to be a butcher, but merely out of greed for profit joins a butcher in acts of slaughter, at that time it is called violating wholesome precepts. If one seeks to relinquish wholesome precepts and seeks to obtain unwholesome precepts, one must vow oneself to be a butcher, and then unwholesome precepts are obtained.’ If one receives unwholesome precepts, they are obtained simply by self-vowing, not received from another. If one wishes to receive the precepts of unwholesome discipline for one day, two days, up to ten days, one year, or two years, depending on the duration of the vowed mind, they are obtained at will. Why is this? Because this unwholesome dharma accords with the flow of saṃsāra and has no meaning of supreme advancement; therefore, it is obtained immediately according to the occasion, unlike the precepts of wholesome discipline.”
