維摩經略疏 3.25

3.25

「奉戒清淨攝諸毀禁」，淨名法身住非持非犯滿足尸羅三德之身，能以方便十種戒藏攝諸毀禁。先以十善五戒攝於人天，次以律儀攝毀不缺等四，次以生無生正語業命攝毀隨道無著，次以無量三正攝毀聖所讚自在，次以無作三正攝毀具足隨定。餘人未得非持非犯皆名為毀，故《大經》云「唯佛一人具淨戒，餘人皆名污戒者。」此諸眾生既蒙戒攝，以不毀禁成菩薩行，隨行戒善。淨名成佛時，戒善所攝眾生來生其國，上文云「持戒是菩薩淨土，菩薩成佛時持戒眾生來生其國。」約觀心者，今佛弟子四眾貴賤能修三觀一心，住此觀心不見持犯，慈悲利物淨持禁戒，持戒有德為物所歸，示以法門。若是長者，令長洲主國君能持齋戒，則一鄉一縣一洲一國臣民四眾自然息惡而修戒善，是則不言而化。以四種淨土之因修四教道，自住尸羅無盡燈法門攝諸眾生，是諸所攝於未來世還為眷屬，餘如施中。下四度觀心，准此可知。

"Observing the precepts purely, he gathered those who broke the prohibitions": Vimalakīrti's dharmakāya abides in the body of the three virtues of śīla fulfilled, which is neither keeping nor breaking; through expedient means he can gather those who break prohibitions with the ten kinds of precept treasuries. First, through the ten wholesomenesses and the five precepts, he gathers humans and devas. Next, through the rules of conduct, he gathers those who break the four [precepts of] non-deficiency and so forth. Next, through right speech, right action, and right livelihood of arising and non-arising, he gathers those who break [the precepts] following the Way and unattached. Next, through the immeasurable three right [factors], he gathers those who break [the precepts] praised by the sages and autonomous. Next, through the unconditioned three right [factors], he gathers those who break [the precepts] complete and following samādhi. Other persons who have not attained neither keeping nor breaking are all termed "breakers"; thus the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra says: "Only the Buddha alone possesses pure precepts; all other persons are called defilers of the precepts." Once these sentient beings receive the gathering of the precepts, by not breaking prohibitions they accomplish the bodhisattva practice, following the practice of the wholesomeness of the precepts. When Vimalakīrti attains buddhahood, the sentient beings gathered through the wholesomeness of the precepts will come to be born in his land. The text above states: "Keeping the precepts is the bodhisattva's pure land; when the bodhisattva attains buddhahood, sentient beings who keep the precepts come to be born in his land." In terms of the contemplation of mind: if disciples of the Buddha among the four assemblies today, whether noble or base, can cultivate the threefold contemplation in one mind and, abiding in this contemplation of mind, see neither keeping nor breaking, compassionately benefit beings, purely keep the prohibitions, possess the virtue of keeping precepts to which beings turn, and reveal the Dharma doors to them; if an elder, county magistrate, prefect, or ruler of a state can uphold fasting and precepts, then the ministers, commoners, and four assemblies of an entire township, county, prefecture, or state will naturally cease evil and cultivate the wholesomeness of the precepts; this is transformation without words. Cultivating the path of the four teachings through the causes of the four kinds of pure lands, personally abiding in the Dharma door of the inexhaustible lamp of śīla to gather sentient beings, all those gathered will again become their retinue in future lives; the rest is as explained under giving. The contemplation of mind for the remaining four perfections below can be understood by analogy to this.
