三、技能者,醫方、卜筮、泥木、彩畫、棊書、呪術等是也。皮文美角,膏煎鐸毀,己自害身,況修出世之道,而當樹林招鳥,腐氣來蠅,豈不摧折污辱乎?

Third, crafts and skills: medical recipes, divination, plastering and carpentry, painting, chess, calligraphy, spells, and the like. Patterned hides and beautiful horns [bring hunting], fat causes boiling and bells bring destruction—these harm one's own body. How much more so when cultivating the supramundane Path: should one plant trees to attract birds or rot meat to bring flies? Would this not bring ruin and defilement?
