學菩薩戒法
Method for Learning the Bodhisattva Precepts
明 菩薩戒弟子古吳 智旭 述
Commentary by Zhixu of Ancient Wu, Bodhisattva Precept Disciple
佛前自誓受戒。肇於梵網。詳於地持瓔珞等經。今參以諸經行法。總出十意。一嚴道場。二淨三業。三結界。四修供養。五讚禮歸依。六悔除惡罪。七啟白請證。八正誦戒經。九發誓禮佛。十發願迴向。
Making a personal vow to receive the precepts before the Buddha originates in the Brahmajala Sutra and is detailed in the Bodhisattva Bhumi and Jeweled Necklace Sutras. Now, drawing from the practices of various sutras, ten essential points are presented in full:
1. Prepare the sacred space. 2. Purify the three karmas. 3. Establish the boundary. 4. Cultivate offerings. 5. Praise, bow, and take refuge. 6. Repent and remove evil offenses. 7. Announce and request witness. 8. Recite the precept sutra properly. 9. Make vows and honor the Buddha. 10. Dedicate merit and transfer aspirations.
