大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 59.78

59.78

Regarding the Commentary's "Stated with respect to sexual misconduct": an objection states: "In sexual misconduct among the four grave offenses, uniting with the object immediately constitutes an offense, so there is no perception or doubt. But in the precept against sexual misconduct, how could there be no perception or doubt? Meaning, perceiving one's own wife as another's wife, perceiving another's wife as one's own wife, and the arising of doubt regarding the two—how could there not be non-offense?" Therefore, it is now resolved: based on this, it indeed exists. But now it reveals that the bodhisattva definitely cultivates brahmacarya toward his own wife; therefore, the complete conditions are not stated with respect to sexual misconduct.
