Furthermore, the Shansheng jing states: 'There are two causes and conditions for losing the bodhisattva precepts: first, retrogressing from the bodhicitta; second, obtaining a supreme evil mind. Free from these two causes and conditions, even into other lives, among the hells, beasts, or hungry ghosts, one never loses the precepts. If in a later life one receives the bodhisattva precepts again, it is not called gaining them anew, but is called revealing and purifying them.'
