盂蘭盆經讚述 1.24

1.24

[The sūtra says:] "'teaching and transforming śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas; or bodhisattva mahāsattvas of the ten grounds who expediently manifest as monks within the great assembly,'" / The commentary says: Next, explaining the precepts. The southern clause first lists three types of persons, who are the possessors of the precepts; next, it sets up the three precepts and sets forth the protocols of upholding and violating them. Here it lists the three types of persons. Śrāvakas have the prātimokṣa discipline; pratyekabuddhas have the discipline concurrent with absorption; bodhisattvas have the discipline concurrent with the path. In general, everyone possesses them; in particular, each observes their own discipline.
