勝鬘寶窟 1.53

1.53

第八次第門。《瓔珞經》前明攝善、次明攝生、後明律儀。又初明無惡不息、次明無善不行、後明無人不度。今文明三戒次第者，前要須自行息惡，故第一明攝律儀；然後方能及他，故第二明攝眾生；自行化他必須生善，通自行他化，故明攝善法也。

Eighth, the section on sequential order. The Yingluo jing first explains embracing the wholesome, next explains embracing sentient beings, and last explains restraint. It also first explains that there is no evil not ceased, next explains that there is no good not practiced, and last explains that there is no person not saved. As for the sequential order of the three precepts explained in the present text: first, one must cease evil through one's own practice, hence the first explained is the precept of restraint; thereafter, one is able to extend to others, hence the second explained is embracing sentient beings; both self-practice and transforming others must generate virtue, so, applying to both self-practice and transforming others, the precept of embracing wholesome dharmas is explained.
