# 萬善同歸集 1.65

萬善同歸集 1.65

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.1.65)

問：「《首楞嚴經》云：『持犯但束身，非身無所束。』《法句經》云：『戒性如虛空，持者為迷倒。』何苦堅執事相，局念拘身？奚不放曠縱橫，虛壞履道？」

> Question: "The Śūraṅgama Sūtra says: 'Upholding and breaking \[the precepts\] only bind the body; that which is not the body has nothing to be bound.' The Dharmapada says: 'The nature of the precepts is like empty space; those who uphold them are deluded and inverted.' Why painstakingly and stubbornly cling to phenomenal marks, restricting thought and shackling the body? Why not be unrestrained and free, empty and transcendent, treading the Way?"
