In principle, a bodhisattva forgets their own body to aid living beings; how can they instead consume the bodily parts of sentient beings? Therefore, the offense is established. It specifically possesses three conditions: first, it is the flesh of a sentient being; second, giving rise to the conception of meat; third, it enters the mouth, whereupon the offense is committed. As for the text, it has two parts: first, stating the title, displaying the fault, and enjoining the cessation of evil; next, from "if intentionally eating..." onward, the delivered injunction concluding the offense. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.2.4) - [Next: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.2.6) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812~en-mt.2.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1812.2.5) · Pramāṇa
