初辨律儀戒，景云：菩薩律儀戒即是聲聞七眾所受，如出家菩薩即與聲聞大僧所判多分是同，在家菩薩即與五戒所判多同，故云是七眾所受，理實要期時節有異，即心非心戒體亦異。備云：又解：聲聞七眾若受菩薩戒時，轉前七眾戒令成菩薩戒，故言即七眾。

First, analyzing the morality of restraint: Jing states: "The bodhisattva's morality of restraint is precisely that which is received by the seven groups of Śrāvakas. For instance, the renounced bodhisattva is in most respects identical to what is prescribed for the fully ordained Śrāvaka saṃgha, and the lay bodhisattva is in most respects identical to what is prescribed by the five precepts; therefore it is said that it is received by the seven groups. In actual truth, their commitments and durations differ, and the essence of the precept—whether mental or non-mental—also differs." Bei states: "Alternatively, it is explained: When the seven groups of Śrāvakas receive the bodhisattva precepts, they transform their previous precepts of the seven groups to make them become the bodhisattva precepts; hence it says 'namely, the seven groups.'"
