3.118

At that time the Buddha addressed the bhikṣus: "When the Tathāgata appears in the world, seeing the faults of the multitude, he establishes precepts for the śrāvakas for one purpose: for the acceptance and protection of the saṃgha. For this one purpose, the Tathāgata establishes precepts for the śrāvakas." The Buddha having spoken thus, the bhikṣus heard it, rejoiced, faithfully accepted, and upheld it. Up to 'that the true Dharma may abide long,' each and every phrase is likewise spoken.
