菩薩戒義疏 2.12

2.12

Ninth is the precept against an angry mind refusing to accept repentance. Refusing to accept an apology and repentance runs counter to the path of receiving others; therefore one incurs an offense. Members of the seven assemblies equally commit this precept, but it is not entirely identical between the Mahāyāna and the Hīnayāna. A bodhisattva fundamentally takes in sentient beings; cutting them off through anger constitutes a major offense. The śrāvaka focuses on self-benefit, violating the seventh cluster (duṣkṛta). Second, the words of the text are the same as before. This precept is complete with five conditions to constitute a major offense: first, that it is a sentient being; second, the notion of a sentient being; third, the mind of anger cutting them off; fourth, manifesting the sign of refusal; fifth, the other person understands. First, that it is a sentient being: it is major for upper and middle objects, and minor for lower objects. Second, the notion of a sentient being: there are [cases of] accurate, doubtful, and mistaken [notions], the same as above. Third, the mind of anger cutting them off means not wishing to reconcile, which constitutes a major offense. If one knows that the other is not yet capable of offering repentance, it is not an offense. Fourth, manifesting the sign of refusal means either shutting them out and cutting them off, or opening the mouth to refuse. Fifth, the other person understands: knowing the suffering of having the other refuse and apply duress through body and speech; according to the amount of bodily and vocal karma, a major [offense] is incurred.
