2.96

此下二戒,辨戒同也。初戒遮邪命,後戒遮邪業,違淨命故制。大小同制,七眾俱防。文中以惡心故為利食者,非為見機益物也。販賣男女色下,凡列十事:一、賣男女色;二、自手作食;三、自磨自舂;四、占相男女;五、解夢吉凶;六、呪術;七、工巧;八、調鷹方法;九、和合毒藥;十、蠱毒。此十事中,初一、後三道俗俱禁,第二、第三制道開俗,第四、第五一云道俗俱制。一云俗人非為活命者不犯,第六、第七於俗不制。出家菩薩若非活命為護身者,准律亦應許也。

The two precepts below clarify commonalities in the precepts. The first precept prohibits wrong livelihood, and the latter precept prohibits wrong action; they are instituted because they violate pure livelihood. The Greater and Lesser [Vehicles] institute them equally, and all seven assemblies guard against them. In the text, 'with an evil mind for the sake of profit and food' means it is not for the sake of seeing the appropriate capacity to benefit beings. Below 'trades in the sexual charms of men and women,' ten matters are listed in total: first, selling the sexual charms of men and women; second, preparing food with one's own hands; third, milling and pounding grain oneself; fourth, practicing divination on men and women; fifth, interpreting dreams of good and bad fortune; sixth, sorcery; seventh, crafts; eighth, methods of training falcons; ninth, compounding poisons; tenth, gu poisons. Among these ten matters, the first and the last three are forbidden to both monastics and laity; the second and third are prohibited for monastics but permitted for laity; the fourth and fifth are, according to one explanation, prohibited for both monastics and laity. Another explanation says that for lay people, if it is not for the purpose of livelihood, there is no offense; the sixth and seventh are not prohibited for the laity. For a renunciant bodhisattva, if it is not for livelihood but to protect oneself, based on the Vinaya it should also be permitted.
