法華玄論 1.20

1.20

答：斷閻浮提人命者，即有二義：一者但殺肉身、二者所害猶少。若有所得說法者，一害諸佛法身、二遍毀正教。所以然者，生死肉身以愛著為本，諸佛法身從無住而生，是故殺生過輕而說有所得罪重也。

Answer: Severing the life of people in Jambudvīpa has two aspects: first, it merely kills the physical body; second, those harmed are still few. If one preaches the Dharma with grasping: first, it harms the dharmakāya of all Buddhas; second, it universally destroys the correct teaching. Why is this so? The physical body of saṃsāra takes craving and attachment as its root, while the dharmakāya of all Buddhas arises from non-abiding. Therefore, the fault of killing living beings is light, whereas the sin of preaching with grasping is heavy.
