No. 749-A附受八關齋法
(諸經論中皆明八關齋法葢以一往判釋則五戒乃人天因此一日夜戒齋方為出世因也無論已受五戒未受五戒乃至受菩薩優婆塞戒者皆可隨意受持或六齋日或生日諱日等並應發心秉受)
(All the sutras and treatises clearly explain the method of the Eight Precepts. The general interpretation is that the Five Precepts are the causes for human and celestial rebirth, while this one-day-and-night observance is the true cause for transcending the world. Regardless of whether one has already received the Five Precepts, has not yet received them, or has even received the Bodhisattva Upasaka precepts, anyone may voluntarily take and uphold them. This can be done on the six monthly fast days, one's birthday, or on commemorative occasions, and one should earnestly develop the intention to receive them.)
(本經雖合為八支而秉受時仍作九支陳說無過葢文有開合義無增減故也此依毗婆沙等以易於秉白故)。
我某甲歸依佛歸依法歸依僧一日一夜為淨行優婆(塞夷)如來至真等正覺是我世尊(三說如或不能師應教授)我某甲歸依佛竟歸依法竟歸依僧竟一日一夜為淨行優婆(塞夷)如來至真等正覺是我世尊(三說次應教受戒法)。
我今以此八關戒齋功德四恩總報三有齊資普與眾生同生淨土(前之八支名戒不非時食為齋故名八關戒齋)。
薩婆多毗婆沙云受八齊法應言一日一夜不殺生令語言決絕莫使與終身戒相亂佛本制一日一夜不得過限若有力能受一日過已次第更受隨力多少不計日數也夫受齋法必從他受於五眾邊。
優婆塞戒經云若先遣信欲刑戮人信遲未至其人尋後發心受齋當受齋時信至即殺雖後一時以戒刀故不得殺罪若諸貴人常勅作惡若欲受齋先當敕語遮先諸惡乃得成就若先不遮輒便受齋者不名得齋欲受齋者先當宣令所屬國境我欲受齋凡是齋日悉斷諸惡罰戮之事。
