11.10

又彌勒菩薩所問經論云。此十不善業道。一切惡法。皆從貪瞋癡起。如依三毒起殺生者。若依貪心起者。或為皮肉錢財故。斷生命等。是名依貪起。若依瞋心起者。或以瞋心殺害怨家等。是名依瞋起。若依癡心起者。或有人言。殺蛇蠍等。以生眾生苦惱故。雖殺無罪。或言。波羅斯等。言殺却老父母及重病者。則無罪報。是名依癡起。如依三毒起偷盜者。若依貪心起者。或為自身。或為他身。或為飲食等。是名依貪起。若依瞋心起者。或於瞋人邊。及瞋人所愛。偷盜彼物等。是名依瞋起。若依癡心起者。如有婆羅門言。一切大地諸所有物。唯是我有。何以故。以彼國王先施我故。以我無力故。為餘姓奪我受用。是故我取即是自物。不名偷盜。是名依癡心起。

Furthermore, the Maitreyaparipṛcchā-śāstra says: These ten unwholesome paths of karma and all evil dharmas all arise from greed, anger, and delusion. As for taking life arising based on the three poisons: If it arises based on a mind of greed, taking life for the sake of skin, flesh, or wealth is called arising based on greed. If it arises based on a mind of anger, killing an enemy out of anger is called arising based on anger. If it arises based on a mind of delusion, as when some people say that killing snakes, scorpions, and the like brings no sin because they cause suffering to sentient beings; or as some say, like the Persians, that killing old parents and the gravely ill incurs no sinful retribution—this is called arising based on delusion.
As for stealing arising based on the three poisons: If it arises based on a mind of greed, stealing for oneself, for another, or for food and drink is called arising based on greed. If it arises based on a mind of anger, stealing things from a person one hates or from what that hated person loves is called arising based on anger. If it arises based on a mind of delusion, as when a brāhmaṇa says, 'All things on the whole earth belong only to me. Why? Because that king formerly gave them to me; since I lacked power, other clans seized them for their use. Therefore, when I take them, it is my own property and is not called stealing'—this is called arising based on a mind of delusion.
