3.321

次《楞伽》中。十過。最須觀察,初恐食噉父母成惡逆故。《梵網經》云:一切男女,皆是我父母,我生生無不從之受生;而殺而食者,即殺我父母是也。二恐食其同類,非仁心也。三謂禽畜交合精血所成,腥臊穢物,自內於口,深可惡也。四者由多噉肉,易其血氣;眾生聞之,知是殺者。五即《涅槃》所謂斷大慈種也。六中由是愚癡不淨者所為,故有食噉,無善名稱。七謂或持呪術,必須精潔;尚誡葷辛,何況血肉。八謂凡遇畜形,即思其味故。九中三過,天報清淨,所以捨棄;不習善法,故多惡夢;身同畜氣,故為虎狼所食。十謂由此相因,遂噉同類。斑足王者,其父遊獵至山,染師子而生;人形斑足,後紹王位,一日掌膳者闕肉,求得小兒肉以充之,王覺味殊,因勅常供;殺害既多,眾欲殺王,王變為飛行羅剎,十二年中常食人肉。

Next, in the Laṅkāvatāra: Ten faults. They must especially be contemplated. First, out of fear that eating one's father and mother constitutes an evil rebellion. The Brahmajāla Sūtra says: All men and women have been my parents; there is no rebirth throughout my lives where I have not taken birth from them; yet killing and eating them is precisely killing my parents. Second, out of fear of eating one's own kind, which is not a benevolent mind. Third, it means that being formed from the seminal fluid and blood of animals copulating, it is a foul-smelling, putrid, and defiled thing; bringing it into one's mouth is deeply repulsive. Fourth, because eating much meat alters one's blood and breath; when sentient beings smell it, they know this is a killer. Fifth, it is precisely what the Nirvāṇa refers to as severing the seed of great compassion. In the sixth, because it is an action of those who are foolish and impure, there is eating, but no good reputation. Seventh, it means if one maintains spells and arts, one must be purely clean; they still warn against pungent roots, how much more so blood and flesh. Eighth, it means whenever encountering an animal's form, one immediately thinks of its taste. In the ninth, there are three faults: the heavenly retribution is pure, which is why [the gods] abandon them; they do not practice good dharmas, hence they have many bad dreams; their bodies share an animal odor, so they are eaten by tigers and wolves. Tenth, it means that through this mutual causation, one comes to devour one's own kind. As for King Kalmāṣapāda: his father went hunting in the mountains and mated with a lioness, giving birth [to him]; he had a human body and spotted feet, and later succeeded to the throne. One day the cook lacked meat, and sought and obtained the meat of a small child to fulfill it. The king found the flavor extraordinary, and consequently decreed that it be regularly supplied. Having killed and harmed so many, the multitude wished to kill the king; the king transformed into a flying rākṣasa, and for twelve years regularly ate human flesh.
