雜譬喻經 1.72

1.72

昔有一貴女人，面首端正儀容挺特，出家修學得應真道。於城外林樹間獨行，道逢一人見此比丘尼顏貌端正意甚愛著，當前立而要之口宣誓言：「若不從我，不聽汝去。」比丘尼便為說惡露不淨之法：「頭眼手足有何可貪？」彼士夫便語比丘尼言：「我愛汝眼好。」時彼比丘尼右手挑其一眼示彼男子，血流于面，彼男子見之欲意便息。比丘尼手捉一眼，還到佛所，以復眼本處，向佛具說。因是結戒，從是以來，不聽比丘尼城外住及聚落外獨行也。

Formerly, there was a noble woman whose face was upright and whose deportment was exceptional. She went forth from the household life, practiced, and attained the path of the worthy. While walking alone among the forest trees outside the city, she met a man on the road who, seeing this bhikṣuṇī’s upright countenance, became deeply infatuated with her. Standing directly before her, he detained her and uttered a vow with his mouth: “If you do not submit to me, I will not let you pass.” The bhikṣuṇī then explained to him the Dharma of the foul and impure: “In the head, eyes, hands, and feet, what is there to crave?” That man then said to the bhikṣuṇī, “I love the beauty of your eyes.” At that time, the bhikṣuṇī gouged out one of her eyes with her right hand and showed it to the man, blood flowing over her face. Seeing this, the man’s lustful intentions ceased at once. Holding the single eye in her hand, the bhikṣuṇī returned to the Buddha’s place, restored the eye to its original position, and explained the matter fully to the Buddha. Because of this, a precept was formulated: from that time forth, bhikṣuṇīs were not permitted to dwell outside the city or walk alone outside villages.
