Briefly stated, the pure bodhisattva precepts of restraint are forfeited due to two conditions: first, abandoning the vow for anuttarā samyaksambodhi; second, actively committing a dharma of defeat with a superior entanglement. If bodhisattvas, even when taking rebirth throughout the realms of the ten directions, in each place of rebirth do not forfeit the pure bodhisattva precepts of restraint, it is because these bodhisattvas do not abandon the great vow for unsurpassed bodhi, nor do they actively commit a dharma of defeat with a superior entanglement. If bodhisattvas take another rebirth and forget their original mindfulness, upon encountering a good friend, in order to awaken their mindfulness of the bodhisattva precepts, even if they repeatedly receive them again, it is neither a new receipt nor a new attainment.
