大般涅槃經疏 9.8

9.8

Next, from 'he then makes this statement' onwards, based on seeing he establishes a vow: 'I would rather embrace this blazing mass of fire than ever hold wrong views; whether existence or non-existence, up to neither existence nor non-existence, I will also not teach falsely; regarding the twelvefold scriptures, the Buddha, the Saṃgha, and the Three Jewels, even embracing fire to burn my body I vow never to hold wrong views, and having my tongue cut with a sharp blade I vow never to speak falsely. If I hear others speak [so], I will also not believe or accept it,' making clear that his own right view is not shaken by the erroneous. 'Toward those who speak this, he also gives rise to pity,' making clear that his own vow is not submerged by wrong practices. If a monk's right view and right speech are like this, how much more so those of the Buddhas!
