Bodhisattva Precept Karma Text (菩薩戒羯磨文)


得捨差別第三

Chapter 3: Distinctions of Giving and Renunciation

略由二緣,捨諸菩薩淨戒律儀:一者棄捨無上正等菩提大願,二者現行上品纏犯他勝處法。

There are two circumstances under which one abandons the pure precepts and moral discipline of a bodhisattva: first, giving up the great vow for supreme perfect enlightenment; second, actually committing, with a heavy and intense affliction, a defeat-category offense.

若諸菩薩,雖復轉身遍十方界,在在生處不捨菩薩淨戒律儀。由是菩薩不捨無上菩提大願,亦不現行上品纏犯他勝處法。

If bodhisattvas, even as they are reborn throughout the ten directions, never abandon the pure precepts and moral discipline of a bodhisattva in any place where they are born. Because of this, bodhisattvas do not abandon their great vow for supreme Enlightenment, nor do they commit gross, overwhelming violations of the rules entailing defeat.

若諸菩薩轉受餘生,忘失本念,值遇善友,為欲覺悟菩薩戒念,雖數重受,而非新受亦不新得。

If a bodhisattva is reborn in another life and loses their original mindfulness, and then encounters a good spiritual friend who helps them awaken to the mindfulness of the bodhisattva precepts, then even though they receive the precepts again and again, it is not a new reception, nor is it newly obtained.
