法苑珠林 90.7

90.7

又梵網經云。若佛子。信心出家受佛禁戒。故起心毀犯聖戒者。不得受一切檀越供養。亦不得飲住國王水土。五千大鬼常遮其前。鬼言大賊。入僧坊城邑宅中。鬼復掃其脚跡。一切世人罵言佛法中賊。一切眾生眼不欲見犯戒之人。畜生無異。木頭無異。

Furthermore, the Brahmajāla Sūtra states: 'If a disciple of the Buddha, having left home with faithful mind and received the Buddha's prohibitive precepts, intentionally gives rise to the thought of violating the noble precepts, he must not receive any offerings from any dānapati, nor drink the water or dwell on the land of a king. Five thousand great ghosts will constantly block his way; the ghosts will cry, "Great thief!" When he enters a saṃghārāma, city, or house, the ghosts will sweep away his footprints. All worldly people will curse him, saying, "Thief within the Buddha's Dharma!" No sentient beings will wish to lay eyes upon a person who has broken the precepts; he is no different from a beast, no different from a piece of wood.'
