天台菩薩戒疏 2.16

2.16

第十二、傷慈販賣戒。菩薩資身，理須如法，不違慈救。今販賣人畜，市易棺材，招世譏嫌，深乖道望，故制犯也。別具四緣：一、是非法之物，二、知是，三、興易，四、事成，便犯。就文為二：初、標名顯過，次、舉過結犯。初言「良人、奴婢」者，二類不同，他人劫來，傳傳興販。若劫者，盜戒所收。六畜者，牛、馬、猪、羊、鷄、犬，且據家養者為言。次「若故」下結犯，如文。

Twelfth, the precept against trading that harms compassion. When bodhisattvas support their bodies, in principle they must do so in accord with the Dharma, not contravening compassionate rescue. Now, to trade in human beings and livestock, and to buy and sell coffins, invites worldly reproach and ridicule, deeply defying the aspirations of the Way; hence an offense is instituted. It specifically comprises four conditions: first, being unlawful items; second, knowing them to be such; third, engaging in trade; fourth, the matter being accomplished; whereupon one commits an offense. The text has two parts: first, designating the name and revealing the fault; next, adducing the fault and concluding the offense. When it first mentions 'free people and slaves', the two classes are different; kidnapped by others, they are traded from person to person. If one kidnaps them, it is subsumed under the precept against stealing. The 'six domestic animals' are oxen, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, and dogs, spoken of tentatively based on domesticated ones. Next, from 'if intentionally' onward, it concludes the offense, as in the text.
