89.25

If a disciple of the Buddha sells alcohol oneself, encourages someone to sell alcohol; through the causes of selling alcohol, the karma of selling alcohol, the methods of selling alcohol, or the conditions of selling alcohol—no alcohol of any kind may be sold. Alcohol is a causal condition giving rise to offenses. Yet a bodhisattva should generate in all sentient beings clear and penetrating wisdom. If, on the contrary, one generates perverted minds in sentient beings, this is the bodhisattva's fifth pārājika offense.
