大方便佛報恩經 6.79

6.79

答曰：「不犯。所以爾者，本於女上得邪婬戒。今是自婦，以非邪婬故，不犯此戒。以是義推之，一切同爾。八戒、十戒，眾生、非眾生類，得戒亦如是，二百五十戒。一切眾生上各得七戒，以義分別，有二十一戒。如一眾生上起身口七惡，凡起此惡有三因緣：一以貪故起；二以瞋故起；三以癡故起。以三因緣起此七惡，三七二十一惡，反惡得戒，一眾生上得二十一戒色。一切眾生亦復如是。以此義推，可一時得無量戒；不可一時盡犯，而得一時捨戒也。夫破戒法，若破重戒，更無勝進。設還捨戒，後更受者，更不得戒。如破八齋中重戒，後更受八戒，若受五戒，若受十戒，若受具戒，兼禪戒、無漏戒，一切不得；若破五戒中重戒已，若受八戒、十戒、具戒并禪戒、無漏戒，一切不得；若破五戒已，欲捨五戒，更受十戒者，無有是處。若捨戒已，更受五戒，若受八戒、十戒、具戒并禪戒、無漏戒，一切不得。若破十戒、具戒中重戒者，若欲勝進，若欲捨戒，還受戒者，如五戒中說。」

He replied, “One does not violate it. Why is this? Originally, what one obtained with respect to women was the precept against sexual misconduct. Now she is one's own wife, and because it is not sexual misconduct, one does not violate this precept. Deducing from this principle, all cases are the same. For the eight precepts and ten precepts, the manner in which precepts are obtained with respect to sentient and non-sentient classes is also like this; as for the two hundred and fifty precepts, one obtains seven precepts with respect to every sentient being, and analytically distinguished, there are twenty-one precepts. Just as one gives rise to the seven evils of body and speech with respect to a single sentient being, and whenever one gives rise to these evils it is through three conditions—first, they arise out of greed; second, they arise out of anger; third, they arise out of delusion—so through these three conditions one gives rise to these seven evils: three times seven is twenty-one evils. By opposing these evils one obtains the precepts, obtaining the matter of twenty-one precepts with respect to a single sentient being. It is likewise with respect to all sentient beings. Deducing from this principle, one may obtain immeasurable precepts all at once; one cannot violate them all at once, nor can one abandon the precepts all at once. In the Dharma of breaking precepts, if one breaks a grave precept, there is no further progression. Even if one gives back and abandons the precepts and later takes them again, one will not obtain the precepts again. For example, if one breaks a grave precept among the eight poṣadha precepts and later receives the eight precepts again, or receives the five precepts, or receives the ten precepts, or receives the complete precepts, as well as the dhyāna-born precepts and outflow-free precepts, one will not obtain any of them. If one breaks a grave precept among the five precepts, then if one receives the eight precepts, ten precepts, complete precepts, along with the dhyāna-born precepts and outflow-free precepts, one will not obtain any of them. If, having broken the five precepts, one wishes to abandon the five precepts and take the ten precepts again, this is impossible. If, having abandoned the precepts, one takes the five precepts again, or receives the eight precepts, ten precepts, complete precepts, along with the dhyāna-born precepts and outflow-free precepts, one will not obtain any of them. If one breaks a grave precept among the ten precepts or complete precepts, whether one wishes to make higher progress or wishes to abandon the precepts and receive them again, it is as explained for the five precepts.”
