佛說佛名經 3.12

3.12

"Regarding the first, contemplating causes and conditions: know that these offenses of mine depend upon ignorance and improper reflection; lacking the power of correct contemplation, one does not recognize one's faults, stays far away from good spiritual friends, the buddhas, and bodhisattvas, follows the paths of māras, and walks upon crooked and perilous paths—like a fish swallowing a hook unaware of the peril, like a silkworm spinning a cocoon tangling and binding itself, like a moth darting into a flame burning and destroying itself. Through these causes and conditions, one is unable to escape by oneself.
