# 法苑珠林 90.32

法苑珠林 90.32

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [90.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.32)

若無讀誦心　無禪無漏盡  
雖有比丘形　如是非比丘  
寧食蛇毒蟲　及以烊金等  
終不破禁戒　而食僧飲食

> "If one has no mind for recitation,  
> No meditation, and no exhaustion of outflows,  
> Though having the form of a bhikṣu,  
> Such a one is not a bhikṣu.  
> Better to eat snake venom and poisonous insects,  
> As well as molten gold and the like,  
> Than ever to break the prohibitive precepts  
> And eat the food and drink of the Saṃgha."
