勸發菩提心集 2.15

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2.15)

復次，白衣處世，當官理務，家業作使，是故難持不惡口法等。五戒有五種受，名五種優婆塞：一者一分行。二者小分行。三者多分行。四者滿分行。五者斷婬。受一名一分，二三名少分。受四名多分，受五名滿分。受五戒已，師前更作自誓言：「我今自婦不復行婬。」是五戒。然受八戒法如常儀（准三歸亦一日一夜）。

> Furthermore, when white-robed laypeople dwell in the world, holding official posts, managing affairs, and laboring in household enterprises, it is therefore difficult to maintain practices such as avoiding harsh speech. The five precepts have five ways of being undertaken, termed the five kinds of upāsakas: first, one-part practice; second, small-part practice; third, major-part practice; fourth, full-part practice; fifth, severing sexual misconduct. Undertaking one is called one-part; two or three is called small-part; undertaking four is called major-part; undertaking five is called full-part. After receiving the five precepts, one further makes a vow before the teacher, saying: "From now on, I will no longer engage in sexual relations even with my own wife." These are the five precepts. However, the method for receiving the eight precepts follows the standard ritual (analogous to the Three Refuges, also for one day and one night).
