菩薩戒本疏 2.59

2.59

"Disciples of the Buddha! One who studies and recites the precepts should uphold the bodhisattva precepts during the six periods of each day and understand their meaning and the nature of Buddha-nature. Yet if a bodhisattva does not understand even a single line, a single verse, or the causes and conditions of the vinaya precepts, and falsely claims to understand, this is deceiving oneself as well as deceiving others. If, understanding nothing in detail and knowing nothing of all dharmas, one acts as a master to confer the precepts on others, they commit a duṣkṛta offense."
