It is entirely due to drinking wine. How could ordained monks and nuns not deeply believe in the scriptural teachings and give rise in their minds to profound shame, instead casting aside the saddharma to become identical to non-Buddhists? If one eats the meat of a sentient being's father, one also eats one's own father's meat; if one eats the meat of a sentient being's mother, one also eats one's own mother's meat. In this way, with elder and younger sisters and brothers, sons and daughters, the six familial relations, there are mutual correspondences; enmity and resentment requite one another, and liberation cannot yet be attained.' Furthermore, the Śrāmaṇerikā-precepts Sūtra states: 'One must not kill living beings; show loving-kindness and pity toward all beings, just as parents think of their children with redoubled affection, looking upon wriggling creatures as newborn infants. What is meant by not killing? Guarding body, speech, and mind. With the body, do not kill any breathing kinds among humans or animals; do not act with your own hands, nor instruct others to do so. If you see it killed, do not eat it; if you hear of it being killed, do not eat it; if you suspect it was killed \[for you\], do not eat it; if it was killed for my sake, do not eat it. With the mouth, do not utter words like: "They should be killed, they should be harmed to repay enmity," nor should one say: "What a fine death! What a fine kill! Such-and-such meat is fat, such-and-such meat is lean; such-and-such meat is bountiful and good, such-and-such meat is meager and bad." With the mind, do not even think of it. Pity sentient beings as your own bones and marrow, as your father and mother, as your child and your own body, equal and without distinction. With a single mind of universal equality, constantly set your resolve upon the Mahāyāna.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 93.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.57) - [Next: 93.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.59) - [Up: 93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.93.58) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.59) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.58) · Pramāṇa
