3.106

Seventh, the precepts in accordance with requests (yathārthanirhāra-śīla) briefly has eight kinds: namely, bodhisattvas reflect carefully within themselves: 'Just as I desire that others not commit against me the taking of life, taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh words, frivolous speech, or inflicting harm upon me with hands, clods of dirt, sticks, and other unpleasant contacts, so it is with others: when their wishes are not fulfilled, both are displeased.' Having thoroughly reflected in this way, even for the sake of their own lives they do not inflict upon others these eight kinds of unpleasant things that thwart what they seek.
