佛垂般涅槃略說教誡經 1.7

1.7

「汝等比丘，當自摩頭，已捨飾好著壞色衣，執持應器以乞自活，自見如是，若起憍慢當疾滅之。謂長憍慢尚非世俗白衣所宜，何況出家入道之人為解脫故，自降其心而行乞耶？

“You monks, you should rub your heads: you have already abandoned fine adornments, put on dyed robes, and hold alms bowls to sustain yourselves through begging. Seeing yourselves in this way, if arrogance arises, you should swiftly extinguish it. Indulging in arrogance is not fitting even for secular laypeople, how much less for those who have left the household life to enter the Path, who, for the sake of liberation, humble their minds and go begging!
