梵網經菩薩戒本疏 1.34

1.34

第七、犯相始終。於中三例：一、始，二、終，三、據中。此中婬犯據始，侵如毛頭，即結犯不待精樂。殺犯據終，要命斷方結。所餘據中，如盜離本處，雖已成犯，猶未得用等。餘准可知。有義：慳、瞋亦約初犯，以起念便犯故。

Seventh, the beginning and end of the characteristics of transgression. Herein there are three patterns: 1. The beginning; 2. The end; 3. Based on the middle. Here, the transgression of sexual misconduct is based on the beginning: entering as little as the tip of a hair is immediately adjudicated as an offense, not waiting for ejaculation or pleasure. The transgression of killing is based on the end: it requires the severing of life before it is adjudicated. The remainder are based on the middle, as when stealing moves [the object] from its original place, although it has already constituted a transgression, one has not yet enjoyed its use, and so forth. The rest can be understood by analogy. There is an opinion: stinginess and anger are also transgressed in terms of the beginning, because as soon as a thought arises, one transgresses.
