天台菩薩戒疏 1.13

1.13

既已發心，次問遮相。相即三聚，遮謂七遮。言三聚者，《瓔珞經》云：攝律儀戒，謂十波羅蜜，即止惡也。攝善法戒，謂八萬四千法門，即行善也。饒益有情戒，謂慈悲喜捨，利樂有情。已知戒相，復發道心，懺除罪垢，堪得受戒。若有七遮，不在受限，懺亦不滅。我今問汝，當隨實答。汝不出佛身血不？（答：「無。」）二、不殺父不？三、不殺母不？四、不殺和上不？五、不殺阿闍梨不？六、不破羯磨轉法輪僧不？七、不殺聖人不？（謂證四果等。並答「無」。）若無七遮，堪得受戒，起深重心，專注諦聽，莫生異緣。今正是得戒之時，必須剋心傾仰於師，如完器承物，莫餘思想。已問遮相。

Having already generated the mind, next [the master] inquires about impediments and marks. The marks are the three cumulative [precepts]; the impediments refer to the seven impediments. As for the three cumulative [precepts], the Yingluo jing says: The precept of restraint refers to the ten pāramitās, which is stopping evil. The precept of embracing wholesome dharmas refers to the eighty-four thousand Dharma doors, which is practicing good. The precept of benefiting sentient beings refers to loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, bringing benefit and happiness to sentient beings. Having come to know the marks of the precepts, renewed the mind of the Way, and repented away sinful defilements, you are fit to receive the precepts. If there are the seven impediments, one is not within the limit of eligibility to receive them, and even through repentance they are not extinguished. I will now question you, and you must answer truthfully according to fact: Did you not shed the Buddha's blood? (Answer: 'I did not.') Second, did you not kill your father? Third, did you not kill your mother? Fourth, did you not kill your upādhyāya? Fifth, did you not kill your ācārya? Sixth, did you not disrupt a Saṅgha performing karman or turning the Dharma wheel? Seventh, did you not kill a holy person? (Meaning one who has realized the four fruits, etc. To all, answer: 'I did not.') If you are free of the seven impediments, you are fit to receive the precepts. Arouse a deeply solemn mind, listen with single-minded attentiveness, and do not let unrelated thoughts arise. Now is precisely the time of obtaining the precepts; you must concentrate your mind and revere the master, like an unbroken vessel receiving contents, without any extraneous thoughts. The impediments and marks have been inquired about.
