四十二章經 1.34

1.34

佛告諸沙門：「慎無視女人，若見無視。慎無與言，若與言者，勅心正行，曰：『吾為沙門，處于濁世，當如蓮花不為泥所污。老者以為母，長者以為姊，少者為妹，幼者子，敬之以禮。』意殊當諦惟觀，自頭至足自視內，彼身何有，唯盛惡露諸不淨種，以釋其意矣。」

The Buddha addressed the śramaṇas: "Be careful not to look at women; if you see them, do not look. Be careful not to speak with them; if you speak with them, admonish your mind to correct conduct, saying: 'I am a śramaṇa living in a defiled world; I should be like a lotus flower, unsoiled by mud. Regard the elderly as mother, the elder as elder sister, the younger as younger sister, and the child as daughter, treating them with courtesy.' If the mind is unsettled, you should contemplate carefully, looking at yourself internally from head to foot: what is there in that body? It contains only foul excretions and various impure elements; thereby release your mind."
