勸發菩提心集 2.28

2.28

次教懺悔十重惡業，既悔過已，即與受十無盡戒云：「汝等善聽！佛子從今身至佛身盡未來際，於其中間不得故殺生。若有犯者，非菩薩行。失四十二賢聖法，不得犯。能持不？（其受者答言能。）二不得故盜、三不得故婬、四不得故妄語、五不得沽酒、六不得故說在家出家菩薩罪過、七不得故慳、八不得故嗔、九不得故自讚毀他、十不得故謗三寶藏（皆准可說）。」次云：「佛子受十無盡戒已，其受者常過度四魔，越三界苦，從生至死不失此戒，常隨行人乃至成佛。佛子若過去未來現在一切眾生不受其菩薩戒者，不名有情識者，畜生無異，不名為人，常離三寶海，非菩薩等故。菩薩有受法而無捨法，有犯不失。」盡未來際，若有人來欲受戒者，菩薩法師先為解說讀誦，使其人心開意解生樂著心，然後為受。又復法師能於一切國土中教化一人，出家受菩薩戒者，是法師其福勝造八萬四千塔，況復二三乃至百千，福不可稱。其師者夫婦六親得互為師授，其受戒者入諸佛界菩薩數中，超過三劫生死之罪。是故應受。受有十分，隨受於一，乃至具十。又是菩薩十重，八萬威儀戒中，十重有犯無悔，得使重受戒。八萬威儀戒盡名輕，有犯得使悔過，對手悔滅。一切菩薩凡聖戒盡心為體，是故心亦盡戒亦盡，心無盡故戒亦無盡，六道眾生受得。

Next, instruct them to repent of the ten grave unwholesome karmas. Having repented of their faults, immediately confer the ten inexhaustible precepts upon them, saying: 'Listen well, all of you! Disciples of the Buddha, from this body until the Buddha body, exhausting the bounds of the future, in the interim you must not intentionally kill living beings. If there are any who transgress, this is not the bodhisattva practice. You will forfeit the qualities of the forty-two virtuous and noble stages; you must not transgress. Are you able to uphold it?' (The receiver responds, saying, 'I can.') 'Second, you must not intentionally steal; third, you must not intentionally engage in sexual misconduct; fourth, you must not intentionally tell lies; fifth, you must not sell liquor; sixth, you must not intentionally speak of the sins and faults of lay or ordained bodhisattvas; seventh, you must not intentionally be stingy; eighth, you must not intentionally give rise to anger; ninth, you must not intentionally praise yourself and disparage others; tenth, you must not intentionally slander the storehouse of the Triratna.' (All should be recited in a corresponding manner.) Next, say: 'Disciples of the Buddha, having received the ten inexhaustible precepts, the receiver will always transcend the four māras and cross over the suffering of the three realms. From birth to death he does not lose these precepts; they constantly accompany the practitioner until the attainment of Buddhahood. Disciples of the Buddha, if any sentient beings of the past, future, or present do not receive these bodhisattva precepts, they are not called those possessing consciousness; they are no different from beasts and are not called humans; they are perpetually separated from the ocean of the Triratna and are not bodhisattvas and the like. The bodhisattva has the Dharma of receiving them, but not the Dharma of renouncing them; even if there is a transgression, they are not lost.' To the end of future time, if there is a person who comes wishing to receive the precepts, the bodhisattva Dharma master first explains and recites them for him, causing that person's mind to open and understand and to give rise to a delightful attachment, and only thereafter confers them upon him. Furthermore, if a Dharma master in any land can transform a single person to go forth and receive the bodhisattva precepts, that Dharma master's merit surpasses the building of eighty-four thousand stupas, how much more so two, three, or even hundreds and thousands—his merit is unreckonable. As for the master, husbands and wives and the six kinds of relatives may serve as masters and confer them on one another. The person who receives the precepts enters the rank of bodhisattvas in the realm of all buddhas, transcending the sins of saṃsāra of three kalpas. Therefore, one ought to receive them. The receiving has ten parts: one may receive just one, up to the complete ten. Moreover, regarding these bodhisattva ten grave and eighty thousand deportment precepts, for the ten grave ones, if transgressed there is no repentance, but one may be made to receive the precepts again. The eighty thousand deportment precepts are all termed minor; if transgressed, one may be made to repent of the fault, and repenting face-to-face extinguishes them. All bodhisattva precepts, whether ordinary or noble, have the mind as their essence; therefore, when the mind is exhausted the precepts are also exhausted, and because the mind is inexhaustible the precepts are also inexhaustible. Sentient beings of the six destinies are all able to receive them.
