梵網經菩薩戒本疏 6.228

6.228

八、釋文者，中有五：一、舉過令離；二、舉德制修；三、聞非勸傷；四、況自親作；五、故作結犯。前中，先舉本好心出家，次為名利於王等前說戒繫縛。「自食」下，喻顯。《蓮華面經》云：「佛告阿難：譬如師子命終，若空地、若水、若陸，所有眾生不噉食彼師子身肉，唯師子身自生諸虫，自食師子之肉。阿難！我之佛法非餘能壞，是我法中諸惡比丘破我三大阿僧祇劫積行勤苦所集佛法。」解云：佛法，外人所不能壞，故云「非外道」等。二、「若受佛戒」下，舉德制修中，制令護戒至誠，如慈母念於一子，如孝子事於父母，皆無時暫忘也。三、「而聞」下，明聞非勸傷。於中，先傷同現在苦；後「寧自」下，通入惡趣，並可知。四、況自親作中，正作及與破滅作因緣。「無孝順心」者，是破法因也。五、「若故」下，明故作結犯，可知。

Eighth, explaining the text: therein are five [parts]: 1. citing the fault to cause one to abandon it; 2. citing the virtue to prescribe cultivation; 3. hearing of wrongdoing and being urged to grieve; 4. comparing it to personally committing it oneself; 5. intentionally acting and adjudicating the offense. In the first, it first cites originally going forth with a good mind, and next, for the sake of fame and profit, speaking of the precepts before the king and so forth to bind them. From 'eating themselves' downward, it is revealed by metaphor. The Padmamukha Sūtra says: 'The Buddha told Ānanda: Just as when a lion dies, whether in the sky, in the water, or on land, no sentient being will eat the flesh of that lion's corpse; only worms born from the lion's own body eat the flesh of the lion. Ānanda! My Buddha-Dharma cannot be destroyed by others; it is the evil monks within my Dharma who destroy the Buddha-Dharma that I accumulated through diligent practice and hardship over three great asaṃkhyeya kalpas.' The explanation says: the Buddha-Dharma cannot be destroyed by outsiders, hence it says 'not tīrthikas' and so forth. 2. Under 'if one has received the Buddha's precepts' downward, in citing virtue to prescribe cultivation, it prescribes protecting the precepts with utmost sincerity, like an affectionate mother caring for an only child, or like a filial son serving his parents, never forgetting for a moment. 3. From 'yet hearing' downward, it clarifies hearing of wrongdoing and being urged to grieve. Therein, it first grieves over sharing present suffering; afterwards, from 'rather personally' downward, it extends to entering the evil destinies; all of which can be known. 4. In comparing it to personally committing it oneself, there are directly committing it and serving as causes and conditions for its destruction. 'Lacking a filial and compliant mind' is the cause of destroying the Dharma. 5. From 'if intentionally' downward, it clarifies intentionally acting and adjudicating the offense, as can be known.
