沙彌五德
Five Virtues of a Novice Monk
鈔(下四)引福田經云。一者發心出家。懷佩道故。二者毀其形好。應法服故。三者委棄身命。遵崇道故。四者永割親愛。無適莫故。五者志求大乘。為度人故。記云。此之五德。出家大要。五眾齊奉。不唯小眾。終身行之。不唯初受。又業疏云。斯德始終。通於五眾。俱堪物養。人天師範。故使誦持無輕受體。及形服也。
The Commentary, next four [ fascicles ] , cites the Sutra of the Field of Blessings, saying: First, bringing forth the resolve to leave the household life, because one bears and wears the Path. Second, destroying one's outward beauty, because one should accord with the Dharma robe. Third, casting aside body and life, because one reveres and honors the Path. Fourth, forever cutting off affection for relatives, because one has no partiality or preference. Fifth, aspiring to the Great Vehicle, because one seeks to save beings.
The Record says: These five virtues are the great essentials of leaving the household life. All five assemblies of monastics equally uphold them; they are not only for the novice assembly. One practices them for life; they are not only for the initial ordination. The Karma Commentary also says: These virtues, from beginning to end, apply universally to the five assemblies of monastics. All are worthy to receive offerings from beings and to serve as models for humans and celestial beings. Therefore one should recite and uphold them without lightly regarding the received precepts, nor the bodily form and robes.
