1.71

"You persons who learn well, these ten prātimokṣas of a bodhisattva should be studied, and within them you should not violate even a speck of dust's amount, how much less fully violate the ten precepts. If anyone violates them, they cannot in their present life generate the bodhicitta, and they will also lose the rank of king, the rank of wheel-turning king, the rank of monk, the rank of nun, the ranks of the ten dwellings, ten nourishments, ten adamantine minds, and ten grounds, and the sublime fruit of the permanent Buddha-nature; they will lose everything and fall into the three evil destinies, not hearing the names of father, mother, or the Three Jewels for two or three kalpas. Therefore, you should not violate any single one of them."
