妙法蓮華經玄義 3.170

3.170

從迴向具足無上道戒，開出大乘、不退、隨順、畢竟、具足波羅蜜戒。言大乘者，菩薩持性重、譏嫌等無差別。自求佛道，性重則急；為化眾生，譏嫌則急；小乘自調，性重則急；不度他故，譏嫌則寬。菩薩具持兩種，故名大乘戒。不退者，行於非道，善巧方便，婬舍、酒家非法之處，輒以度人，而於禁戒無有退失。如醫療病，不為病所污，故名不退。隨順者，隨物機宜，隨順道理，故名隨順戒。畢竟者，竪究竟無上之法也。具足波羅蜜者，橫一切圓滿，無法不備也。

From the precepts endowed with dedication toward the unexcelled path unfold the Mahāyāna, non-retrogressing, conforming, ultimate, and pāramitā-endowed precepts. 'Mahāyāna' means that the bodhisattva maintains the inherently grave [precepts] and those against worldly censure without distinction. Seeking the buddha path for oneself, the inherently grave are urgent; transforming sentient beings, worldly censure is urgent. The Hīnayāna disciplines itself, so the inherently grave are urgent; because they do not liberate others, worldly censure is relaxed. The bodhisattva maintains both completely; hence they are called the Mahāyāna precepts. 'Non-retrogressing' means that when moving among non-paths with skillful means—brothels, taverns, and illegal places—he readily liberates people yet suffers no regression or loss in the prohibitive precepts. Just as a physician treats illness without being contaminated by the illness, it is called non-retrogressing. 'Conforming' means conforming to the capacities of beings and conforming to principle; hence it is called conforming precepts. 'Ultimate' means vertically reaching the supreme unexcelled Dharma. 'Endowed with pāramitās' means horizontally all-complete, with no phenomenon lacking.
