天台菩薩戒疏 1.7

1.7

Fourth, explaining the method of receiving [the precepts]: Carefully relying on texts such as the Yingluo jing, the Bodhisattvabhūmi (Dichi), and Gaochang, we make an overall differentiation into twelve sections: first, opening to awakening; second, the three refuges; third, requesting the masters; fourth, repentance; fifth, generating the mind [for enlightenment]; sixth, revealing the marks and inquiring into impediments; seventh, bestowing the precepts; eighth, bearing witness; ninth, manifesting signs; tenth, setting forth holding and violating; eleventh, clarifying the broad vows; twelfth, instructing on upholding the precepts.
