戒五辛 佛戒五辛。以其臭穢能障聖道。食之者必招無間之業耳。今人不能戒。是不欲見聖道。而甘為無間之罪輩。可不哀哉。茲用備錄經律。為世告勸。粲然五章。幸思遵奉。

Abstaining from the Five Pungents: The Buddha prohibited the five pungents because their foul reek obstructs the noble path; those who eat them inevitably incur the karmic retribution of the Avīci Hell. Today, people are incapable of abstaining from them; this is because they have no desire to see the noble path, and are content to become sinners of the Avīci Hell—how lamentable! Here I comprehensively record the sūtras and vinaya to admonish and exhort the world in five brilliant sections, hoping people will consider and uphold them.
