尼羯磨 1.157

1.157

不得斷眾生命乃至蟻子。若比丘尼故自手斷人命，持刀授與人，教死、讚死、勸死，與人非藥，若墮胎，厭禱呪術，若自作方便、教人作；彼非比丘尼，非釋種女。汝是中盡形壽不得犯，能持不？（答言：）能。

"You must not sever the life of any living being, down to an ant. If a bhikṣuṇī intentionally severs human life with her own hands, gives a knife to someone, teaches death, praises death, encourages death, gives someone non-medicine, or causes an abortion, or uses curses and incantations, whether using expedients herself or having someone else use them, she is not a bhikṣuṇī, not a daughter of the Śākyas. You must not violate this for the rest of your life; can you uphold it?" (She answers:) "I can."
