Even a pheasant moistened its wings to rescue \[beings from\] the calamity of fire. For a bodhisattva to set fire is a grave contravention of the path, which is why it is prohibited. If one intends to set fire to destroy life and damage property, that separately constitutes \[the offenses of\] killing and stealing. The Yogācārabhūmi states that burning is a grave form of stealing. Here, mountains and the like are mostly ownerless; it is simply a lack of compassion. The phrase 'with an evil mind' definitely refers to property that has an owner. Briefly, six types are marked: first, another's dwellings; second, cities and towns; third, Saṃgha quarters; fourth, fields and trees; fifth, property belonging to spirits and deities; sixth, government property. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815.2.123) - [Next: 2.125](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815.2.125) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815~en-mt.2.124) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [梵網經菩薩戒本疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.83) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815.2.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815.2.124) · Pramāṇa
