梵網經菩薩戒本疏 3.58

3.58

第九、通局中有二：先通、後局。言通者有三：先明自讚，亦三：一、讚自所行之法令他修學，二、為令眾生未信者生信，三、已信者增長。若實有此益不雜貪慢，自讚無犯、不讚有罪，乖利益故。二、明毀他，亦三：一、毀邪道令歸正見，二、毀執見令離著，三、毀惡行令捨離。若不雜瞋慢應時有益，毀他不犯、不毀有罪。三、求名利，有二：一、為益眾生，二、求出世間真實名利故。此求不犯、不求有罪，如是准之。二、局者，於上三位或總或別，以纏相應心起念欲犯，雖未至重是則為犯，以是所害法故深須防護也。餘義可知。

Ninth, concerning permissible and non-permissible cases, there are two parts: first permissible, then non-permissible. As for the permissible, there are three. First, explaining praising oneself, there are also three: 1. praising the dharmas one practices in order to cause others to cultivate and learn them; 2. in order to cause sentient beings who have not yet believed to generate faith; 3. [in order to cause] those who have already believed to increase [it]. If there is genuinely this benefit and it is not mixed with greed or arrogance, praising oneself is not an offense, and not praising would be a fault, because it would run contrary to benefitting [others]. Second, explaining disparaging others, there are also three: 1. disparaging deviant paths to cause [others] to return to right view; 2. disparaging attached views to cause [others] to abandon attachments; 3. disparaging evil actions to cause [others] to cast them aside. If it is not mixed with anger or arrogance and is timely and beneficial, disparaging others is not an offense, and not disparaging would be a fault. Third, seeking fame and profit, there are two: 1. for the sake of benefitting sentient beings; 2. seeking true, supramundane fame and profit. This seeking is not an offense, and not seeking would be a fault. One should infer accordingly. Second, as for the non-permissible, either generally or specifically regarding the above three situations, if one gives rise to a thought intending to transgress with a mind associated with the defilements, although it has not yet reached a major [offense], it constitutes an offense, because these are dharmas that cause harm; hence, one must deeply guard against them. The remaining points can be known.
