第四明慈心少欲行人不應食肉。如彼經說。菩薩為求出離生死。應當專念慈悲之行少欲知足。厭世間苦速求解脫。若捨憒鬧就於空閑。住屍陀林阿蘭若處。塚間樹下獨坐思惟。觀諸世間無一可樂。妻子眷屬如枷鎖想。宮殿臺觀如牢獄想。觀諸珍寶如糞聚想。見諸飲食如膿血想。受諸飲食如塗癰瘡想。處得存命繫念聖道。不為貪味。酒肉葱韮蒜薤臭味。悉捨不食。若如是者。是真修行。堪受一切人天供養。若於世間不生厭離。貪著諸味。酒肉薰辛皆便噉食。不應受於世間信施也。

Fourth, explaining that practitioners of a mind of maitrī and few desires should not eat meat. As that sūtra says: "A bodhisattva, seeking escape from saṃsāra, should focus solely on the practice of maitrī-karuṇā, having few desires and being content, detesting worldly suffering, and swiftly seeking liberation. If one leaves clamor and approaches seclusion, dwelling in a śmaśāna or an araṇya, sitting alone among graves or beneath trees to contemplate, one observes all worldly things as having nothing delightful: regarding wife and children as shackles; regarding palaces and pavilions as prisons; regarding treasures as heaps of dung; regarding food and drink as pus and blood; and accepting food and drink as applying ointment to an ulcerated sore. Maintaining life in this state, keeping thoughts tied to the noble path and not craving flavor, one abandons and does not eat liquor, meat, leeks, scallions, garlic, chives, or foul odors. If one is like this, this is true cultivation, worthy of receiving the offerings of all humans and devas. If one does not generate revulsion toward the world, craves various tastes, and consumes liquor, meat, and pungent herbs, one should not receive the faithful alms of the world."
