17.54

第八明食肉之人諸天賢聖皆悉遠離惡神恐怖。是故行者不應食肉。如彼經說。夫食肉者。諸天遠離何況聖人。是故菩薩為見聖人。當修慈悲不應食肉。大慧。食肉之人。睡眠亦苦。起時亦苦。若於夢中見種種惡。驚怖毛竪心常不安。無慈心故乏諸善力。若其獨在空閑之處。多為非人而伺其便。虎狼師子亦來伺求欲食其肉。心常驚怖不得安隱也。

Eighth, explaining that from those who eat meat, all devas, worthy ones, and noble ones stay far away, while evil spirits terrify them. Therefore, practitioners should not eat meat. As that sūtra says: 'From those who eat meat, the devas stay far away, how much more so the noble ones! Therefore, bodhisattvas, in order to see the noble ones, should cultivate maitrī-karuṇā and should not eat meat. Mahāmati, for one who eats meat, sleep is suffering, and waking up is also suffering. If in dreams they see various evils, their hair stands on end in terror and their mind is constantly unsettled. Because they lack a compassionate mind, they are deficient in wholesome powers. If they are alone in a deserted place, non-humans often lie in wait for an opportunity against them; tigers, wolves, and lions also come stalking, wishing to devour their flesh. Their minds are constantly terrified and never attain peace.'
