二、不偷盜戒。云何名盜？知他物，生盜心，取物去離本處，物屬我，是名盜。若不作是事，名不偷盜戒。其餘計校乃至手捉未離地等，是盜方便，非正罪。

Second, the precept against stealing. What is meant by stealing? Knowing it to be another's property, generating a mind of theft, taking the property away from its original location, and having the property belong to oneself—this is named stealing. If one does not do this, it is named the precept against stealing. The rest—such as calculating and contriving, or even grasping it with the hand before it has left the ground—are preliminary expedients of stealing, not the primary offense.
