法苑珠林 82.26

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [82.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.82.26)

我今護他命　身分受苦惱  
更無餘方便　唯以命代彼  
若言他持去　此言復不可  
設自得無過　不應作妄語  
我今捨身命　為此鵝命故  
故緣我護戒　因用成解脫

> "'I now protect the life of another,  
> Though my own body suffers distress.  
> There is no other expedient;  
> Only with my life can I substitute for its.  
> If I say another carried it away,  
> These words would also be improper;  
> Even if I myself could escape fault,  
> I should not speak falsely.  
> I now surrender my body and life  
> For the sake of this goose's life;  
> Therefore, through the condition of guarding the precepts,  
> I thereby achieve liberation.'"
