大方便佛報恩經 6.73

6.73

He replied, “They are neither outflow-free precepts nor dhyāna-born precepts. These prātimokṣa precepts exist when the Buddha is in the world, and do not exist when the Buddha is not in the world. Dhyāna-born and outflow-free precepts exist at all times, whether the Buddha is in the world or not in the world. The prātimokṣa precepts are obtained from instruction, while dhyāna-born and outflow-free precepts are not obtained from instruction. The prātimokṣa precepts are obtained from another, while dhyāna-born and outflow-free precepts are not obtained from another. The prātimokṣa precepts exist at all times—regardless of whether one is asleep or awake, or in a wholesome, unwholesome, or indeterminate state of mind; the dhyāna-born and outflow-free precepts necessarily exist only within a dhyāna or outflow-free mind, and not within any other mind. The prātimokṣa precepts exist only among humans, while dhyāna-born and outflow-free precepts exist among both humans and devas. The prātimokṣa precepts exist only within the desire realm, while dhyāna-born and outflow-free precepts accomplish the outflow-free precepts in the desire and form realms. The prātimokṣa precepts are possessed only by disciples of the Buddha, while dhyāna-born precepts are possessed by non-Buddhists as well.”
