Knowing that water contains living creatures and intentionally using it will harm living beings and violate the path of compassion; selfishly looking after oneself in this way is unprincipled, and the matter is not light. Therefore it was enacted. / There are four specific conditions: first, it is water with living creatures; second, knowing that there are living creatures in the water; third, not filtering it; fourth, committing the offense according to whatever use is made of it. Below, the text of the precept is directly clarified. This precept was enacted because the bhikṣu Channa committed a fault: when building a house, he mixed mud with water containing living creatures, drawing criticism from householders; the Buddha then enacted the precept. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.38) - [Next: 3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.40) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787~en-mt.3.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.39) · Pramāṇa
