88.42

佛告諸比丘。吾有二身。一生身。二戒身。若善男子。為吾生身。起七寶塔。至于梵天。若人虧之。其罪尚有可悔。虧吾戒身。其罪無量受罪如伊羅鉢龍王。犯不可悔也。

The Buddha told the monks: I have two bodies: first, the physical body; second, the precept body. If a good son were to erect a seven-jeweled stūpa reaching up to the Brahmā heaven for my physical body, and someone damaged it, that offense would still be pardonable. But if one damages my precept body, the offense is immeasurable, and one receives punishment like the dragon king Elāpatra; he commits an unpardonable offense.
