2.31

若依《梵網經》,說十重戒與《瓔珞經》同,然彼具說自作教他,隨喜殺因殺緣殺業等,廣略別爾。《淨行優婆塞戒經》受十無盡,同《瓔珞本業經》。又受六波羅蜜戒,禮拜歸依懺悔法,盡同十無盡。然《先勸勉經》云:佛放無量相光,上過三頂,下照地獄及黑闇處,悉皆大明,有緣來集。佛告大眾:「一心善聽。欲求無上真法菩提,應淨三業。守戒謹行,百法並修,十善化物,慈悲眾生,如愛己子,愍念闡提,救苦地獄,百法具已,願諸眾生受大安樂。未能身分往救,恒發此願。此願滿已,進入法智,修習種姓,名真菩薩大優婆塞。佛子!有六大船,能度大海,運載行人,到七寶藏,入法流水,洗除垢濁,身體清淨,三業明朗,除滅老病無明障蔽,自得濟度,更能度人。是故佛子應受應持。若有持者,從初發心,乃至妙覺,隨緣施化。若有眾生,感真法者,現菩薩形,而往度之。若感應者,現優婆塞形,而往度之(如觀音等)。」已下請受。

If relying on the Brahmajāla-sūtra, its exposition of the ten major precepts is the same as that of the Yingluo jing; however, that text expounds in detail on doing [the acts] oneself, having others do them, rejoicing [in them], the causes of killing, conditions of killing, karmic acts of killing, and so on—differing merely in breadth and brevity. In the *Pure Conduct Upāsaka Precept Sūtra, the receiving of the ten inexhaustible [precepts] is the same as in the Yingluo benye jing. Furthermore, receiving the six pāramitā precepts, as well as the methods of prostration, taking refuge, and kṣamā, are completely identical to those for the ten inexhaustible [precepts]. However, the *Prior Exhortation Sūtra states: The Buddha emitted immeasurable mark-lights, which ascended beyond the three summits and descended to illuminate the hells and places of darkness, so that all were illuminated with great clarity, and those who had affinities gathered. The Buddha addressed the great assembly: "Listen single-mindedly and well! Those who wish to seek the unsurpassed true Dharma and bodhi must purify their three kinds of karma. Guarding the precepts and being prudent in practice, cultivating all one hundred dharmas together, converting beings with the ten virtues, being benevolent and compassionate toward sentient beings as though loving one's own children, taking pity on icchantikas, and rescuing [beings from] the suffering of the hells—once the hundred dharmas are complete, one vows that all sentient beings will experience great peace and happiness. Even if one cannot yet go in person to rescue them, one constantly generates this vow. Once this vow is fulfilled, one enters into Dharma-knowledge and cultivates the gotra; this is called a true bodhisattva, a great upāsaka. Sons of the Buddha! There are six great ships that can cross the great ocean, carry practitioners to the storehouse of the seven jewels, enter the flowing stream of the Dharma, wash away defilements and impurities, make the body clean and pure, make the three kinds of karma luminous, eradicate old age, sickness, and the obscurations of ignorance, cross over oneself, and furthermore be able to ferry others across. Therefore, sons of the Buddha should receive and uphold them. If there are those who uphold them, from their initial arousal of the mind up to marvelous enlightenment, they will bestow teachings in accordance with conditions. If there are sentient beings who respond to the true Dharma, they will manifest the form of a bodhisattva to go and cross them over; if they respond accordingly, they will manifest the form of an upāsaka to go and cross them over (like Avalokiteśvara and others)." The request to receive [the precepts] follows below.
