天台菩薩戒疏 1.14

1.14

第七、授戒。「汝等諦聽！汝今於我所，求受一切菩薩淨戒，求受一切菩薩學處，所謂攝律儀戒、攝善法戒、饒益有情戒。此等淨戒，此諸學處，過去一切菩薩已受解、已行成，未來一切菩薩當受、當解、當行、當成，現在一切菩薩今受、今學、今解、今行，當來作佛。汝等從今身盡未來際，於其中間不得犯，能持不？」（三說、三問、三答。）「第一遍竟時，十方世界妙善戒法，注於汝等身心。第二遍時，此妙戒法測塞虛空，雲集頂上。」（次說第二遍。）第二遍竟，更說一遍，「即入仁等身心清淨滿足，勿餘思慮。然此戒法無有形色流注，仁等身心不覺不知向有形色，猶如天崩地裂之聲。」（次說第二遍。）三羯磨竟，已具戒法，即是菩薩。《大經》云：「發心畢竟二不別，如是二心前心難。」（云云。）已得戒竟。

Seventh, Bestowing the Precepts. 'Listen attentively! You now, before me, seek to receive all the pure precepts of a bodhisattva, seek to receive all the bodhisattva training-rules—namely, the precept of restraint, the precept of embracing wholesome dharmas, and the precept of benefiting sentient beings. These pure precepts and these training-rules have already been received and understood, practiced and completed, by all bodhisattvas of the past; will be received and understood, practiced and completed, by all bodhisattvas of the future; and are now being received, studied, understood, and practiced by all bodhisattvas of the present, who will become Buddhas in the future. From this present body until the end of the future, between now and then you must not violate them. Are you able to uphold them?' (Spoken three times, asked three times, answered three times.) 'When the first round is completed, the wondrous and wholesome precept-dharmas of the worlds of the ten directions are poured into your bodies and minds. At the second round, these wondrous precept-dharmas completely fill empty space, gathering like clouds above your heads.' (Next speaks the second round.) When the second round is completed, speak it once more: 'They enter into your bodies and minds, pure and fully complete; have no extraneous thoughts. Yet this precept-dharma has no visible shape or color flowing in; your bodies and minds remain unaware and unknowing of any visible shape, like the sound of heaven collapsing and earth splitting.' (Next speaks the third round.) When the three karmans are completed, one is already endowed with the precept-dharma and is a bodhisattva. The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'Arousing the mind and the ultimate [attainment] are not two or different; yet of these two minds, the first mind is the more difficult.' (And so forth.) The obtaining of the precepts is concluded.
