2.38

佛言:佛子!不得為利養惡心故,通國使命軍陣合會,興師相伐殺無量眾生。而菩薩尚不得入軍中往來,況故作國賊?若故作者犯輕垢罪。

"The Buddha said: Disciples of the Buddha! You must not, for the sake of profit or with an evil mind, act as a state envoy to bring military forces together, raising armies to attack one another and killing countless sentient beings. A bodhisattva must not even come and go within an army, so how could they deliberately act as a traitor to the state? If one deliberately does so, one commits a duṣkṛta offense."
