二、尸羅波羅蜜。尸羅，秦言好善。好行善道，不自放逸，是名尸羅。或受戒行善，或不受戒行善，皆名尸羅。尸羅略說有二種：一者在家尸羅、二者出家尸羅。在家尸羅者，所謂三歸、五戒、八齋戒也。二、出家尸羅，所謂出家沙彌、沙彌尼十戒，式叉摩那尼六法戒，大比丘、比丘尼具足戒，乃至三千威儀、八萬律行。若菩薩十重四十八輕，則通在家、出家共戒也。若菩薩以質直清淨心持如是等戒，皆名尸羅。波羅蜜者，翻名如前。若菩薩住二種尸羅中，能具足修行五種心者，是時尸羅名波羅蜜。何等為五？一知尸羅實相罪不可得，而好行善道，不自放逸。餘四類如檀中分別。菩薩若能具修此五心者，隨所持戒行善，因中說果皆具三義。是以菩薩持戒，名為行尸羅波羅蜜。若至無上菩提佛果，方是尸羅波羅蜜具足成就也。

> Second, śīla-pāramitā. Śīla is in Qin language "delighting in the wholesome." Delighting in practicing the wholesome path without self-indulgence or heedlessness is called śīla. Whether receiving the precepts and practicing the wholesome, or not receiving the precepts and practicing the wholesome, both are called śīla. Briefly stated, there are two kinds of śīla: first, lay śīla; second, monastic śīla. Lay śīla refers to the three refuges, the five precepts, and the eight fasting-day precepts. Second, monastic śīla refers to the ten precepts of the monastic śrāmaṇera and śrāmaṇerikā, the six dharma-precepts of the śikṣamāṇā, the complete precepts of the fully ordained bhikṣu and bhikṣuṇī, and up to the three thousand deportments and eighty thousand disciplinary practices. The bodhisattva's ten major and forty-eight minor \[precepts\] are precepts shared commonly by both lay and monastic. When a bodhisattva upholds such precepts with an upright, straightforward, and pure mind, these are all called śīla. As for pāramitā, the translated name is as before. If a bodhisattva abides in the two kinds of śīla and is able fully to cultivate five kinds of mental states, at that time the śīla is called pāramitā. What are the five? First, knowing that in the true characteristic of śīla, transgressions are ungraspable, yet delighting in practicing the wholesome path and not being self-indulgent or heedless. The remaining four are categorized as distinguished within dāna. If a bodhisattva can fully cultivate these five mental states, then in whatever upholding of precepts and practice of the wholesome, speaking of the fruit within the cause, they all possess the three meanings. Therefore, the bodhisattva's upholding of precepts is called practicing śīla-pāramitā. Only when reaching the fruit of Buddhahood of unsurpassed bodhi is śīla-pāramitā fully consummated.
