4.279

「及此《楞伽經》,我悉制斷肉。
諸佛及菩薩,聲聞所訶責,
食已無慚愧,生生常癡冥。
先說見聞疑,已斷一切肉,
妄想不覺知,故生食肉處。
如彼貪欲過,障礙聖解脫,
酒、肉、葱、韮、蒜,悉為聖道障。
未來世眾生,於肉愚癡說,
言此淨無罪,佛聽我等食。
食如服藥想,亦如食子肉,
知足生厭離,修行行乞食。
安住慈心者,我說常厭離,
虎狼諸惡獸,恒可同游止。
若食諸血肉,眾生悉恐怖,
是故修行者,慈心不食肉。
食肉無慈慧,永背正解脫,
及違聖表相,是故不應食。
得生梵志種,及諸修行處,
智慧富貴家,斯由不食肉。」

"And in this *Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra*,
I have entirely prohibited and cut off meat.
Reproved by all Buddhas,
Bodhisattvas, and śrāvakas,
Having eaten it, they have no shame,
Constantly foolish and dark life after life.
Previously I spoke of seeing, hearing, and suspecting;
Now I have cut off all meat.
With false discrimination, they do not realize it,
And thus are born in meat-eating realms.
Just as the faults of greed and desire
Obstruct noble liberation,
Wine, meat, scallions, leeks, and garlic
Are all obstacles to the noble path.
Sentient beings of future ages
Will foolishly speak of meat,
Saying: 'This is pure and blameless;
The Buddha permitted us to eat it.'
Eat with the thought of taking medicine,
And with the thought of eating one's child's flesh;
Knowing contentment, giving rise to revulsion,
The practitioner practices begging for food.
For those who abide in a mind of compassion,
I say they constantly practice revulsion;
With tigers, wolves, and fierce beasts,
They can always roam and dwell together.
If one eats flesh and blood,
Sentient beings are all terrified;
Therefore, practitioners,
With compassionate minds, do not eat meat.
Eating meat lacks compassion and wisdom;
It eternally turns away from true liberation
And violates the noble outward signs;
Therefore, one should not eat it.
Being born into a brāhmaṇa clan,
In places of spiritual practice,
And into families of wisdom, wealth, and honor—
All this comes from not eating meat."
