妙法蓮華經玄義 3.166

3.166

Furthermore, he makes specific vows, binding his own mind: 'I would rather lie with this body on hot iron than accept another's bed and mat with broken precepts.' Through twelve vows, he restrains his own mind. Moreover, he makes further vows: 'May all sentient beings attain the protected and maintained prohibitive precepts, pure precepts, good precepts, unlacking precepts, unanalyzed precepts, Mahāyāna precepts, non-retrogressing precepts, conforming precepts, ultimate precepts, and precepts fully endowed with all pāramitās.' Through these ten vows, he guards and protects sentient beings. With a single mind of holding the precepts, a bodhisattva adorns the precepts with such various vows and practices; the minds of all other practices should also be like this.
