If a bhikṣu intentionally severs a human being's life with his own hands, takes a knife and hands it to a person, urges death, praises death, gives a person unwholesome medicine, causes an abortion, kills through sorcery, uses means himself, or instructs another to do so, he is not a śramaṇa, not a son of the Śākya. The parable-speaker said, 'Just as when the eye of a needle is broken, it can no longer be used, so too is a bhikṣu: having committed a pārājika dharma, he will never again achieve the conduct of a bhikṣu.' In this matter, you must not do so as long as your life lasts; are you able to uphold this?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.422](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808.1.422) - [Next: 1.424](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808.1.424) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808~en-mt.1.423) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (4) - [僧羯磨](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809.1.128) — Classical Chinese - [曇無德律部雜羯磨](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.sastra.dharmaguptakakarmavacana*zh-sanghavarman-wei.1.55) — Classical Chinese - [四分律比丘戒本](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.pratimoksa.dharmaguptaka*zh-buddhayasas.1.19) — Classical Chinese - [四分僧戒本](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.sastra.dharmaguptakapratimoksasutra*zh-buddhayasas.1.6) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808.1.423](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808.1.423) · Pramāṇa
