法苑珠林 89.22

89.22

若佛子。自盜教人盜方便盜。盜業盜法盜因盜緣。呪盜乃至鬼神有主劫賊物一切財物。一鍼一草不得故盜。而菩薩生佛性孝順慈悲心。常助一切人生福生樂。而反更盜人物。是菩薩第二波羅夷罪。

If a disciple of the Buddha steals oneself, encourages someone to steal, steals by expedient means; steals through the karma of stealing, the methods of stealing, the causes of stealing, or the conditions of stealing; or steals by mantra; down to the belongings of ghosts and spirits, of owners, or of bandits and thieves, all material goods—one must not intentionally steal even a single needle or blade of grass. Yet the bodhisattva ought to give rise to the Buddha-nature, a filial and obedient mind, and a compassionate mind, constantly helping all people generate merit and generate happiness. If, on the contrary, one steals others' goods, this is the bodhisattva's second pārājika offense.
