大方便佛報恩經 2.7

2.7

'Just as I do not delight in death, so too is it for all those possessing life throughout the three realms and the twenty-five states of existence, whether with form or formless, four-footed or many-footed, down to ants. Therefore, the bodhisattva, even if it costs his own body and life, will never unjustly take the lives of others.
