菩薩戒本疏 2.131

2.131

若佛子！常應教化一切眾生，建立僧坊、山林、園田，立作佛塔，冬夏安居坐禪處所，一切行道處皆應立之。而菩薩應為一切眾生講說大乘經律。若疾病、國難、賊難，父母、兄弟、和上、阿闍梨亡滅之日，及三七日，四、五七日，乃至七七日，亦應讀誦講說大乘經律。一切齋會求福行來治生，大火所燒、大水所漂、黑風所吹船舫、江河、大海、羅剎之難，亦讀誦講說此經律。乃至一切罪報、三惡、七逆、八難，杻械枷鎖繫縛其身，多婬、多瞋、多愚癡、多疾病，皆應讀誦講說此經律。而新學菩薩若不爾者，犯輕垢罪。

If one is a disciple of the Buddha, one should constantly teach and transform all sentient beings, establishing monasteries, mountain forests, gardens and fields, erecting Buddha stūpas, and places for winter and summer retreats and seated meditation; one should establish all places for practicing the Way. A bodhisattva should explain and teach the Mahāyāna sūtras and vinaya for all sentient beings. In times of illness, national disasters, or bandit troubles; on the days of the decease of parents, siblings, upādhyāyas, or ācāryas; and at three weeks, four or five weeks, up to seven weeks, one should also read, recite, explain, and expound the Mahāyāna sūtras and vinaya. At all vegetarian assemblies, when seeking merit, when traveling for business, when endangered by great fires, swept away by great waters, or when boats and ships in rivers or the great ocean are driven by black gales, and in perils of rākṣasas, one should likewise read, recite, explain, and expound these sūtras and vinaya. Even for all retribution for transgressions, the three evil paths, the seven ānantarya sins, the eight difficulties, when the body is bound in handcuffs, fetters, and chains, and when beset by excessive lust, excessive anger, excessive delusion, or excessive disease, one should in all cases read, recite, explain, and expound these sūtras and vinaya. If a newly learned bodhisattva fails to do so, they commit a duṣkṛta offense.
