初心入道,罔解克修,恃賴親因,將惠正受,豈知身戒雖從佛得,心定宜當自證。本不相代,斯之謂歟。《涅槃》云「汝諸比丘身雖出家,而未曾染大乘法服,雖復乞食經歷多年,初未曾求大乘法食。」衣嚴法體,食資慧命,不識本常,衣食俱失。

"Entering the Path at the initial stage, he had no understanding of overcoming and cultivating himself, but relied upon his close kin, expecting to be bestowed the correct attainment. How could he know that although the bodily precepts are obtained from the Buddha, mental concentration must be realized by oneself? That 'they originally cannot substitute for one another'—this is what it means. The Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] says: 'All you monks, although your bodies have left the household life, have never dyed the robes of the Great Vehicle Dharma; although you have begged for food for many years, you have never once sought the food of the Great Vehicle Dharma.' Robes adorn the Dharma-body, and food sustains the life of wisdom; failing to recognize the original constancy, both robe and food are lost."
