唯識二十論述記 2.276

2.276

Commentary: This is the second objection. If sheep and other beings outside the mind are not killed at the time of their death by another person, how can butchers who slaughter sheep, fish, and the like in the world incur the sin of taking life? If you grant that the sin exists, then they must be killing sheep outside the mind; if sheep outside the mind do not exist, how can the butcher incur sin? With this two-sided reproach, there is nowhere to escape penalty.
