(Shurangama Sutra, Volume 6-11)

"Further, Ananda, if beings in the six paths of any mundane world had no thoughts of killing, they would not have to a undergo a continual succession of births and deaths. Your basic purpose in cultivating Samadhi is to transcend the wearisome defilements. But if you do not renounce your thoughts of killing, you will not be able to get out of the dust. Even though people may have some wisdom and the manifestation of Dhyana Samadhi, they are certain to enter the path of spirits if they do not cease killing. At best, they will become ghosts of great strength; on the average, they will become flying yakshas, ghost leaders, or the like; at the lowest level, they will become earth-bound rakshasas. These ghosts and spirits all have their followers. Each claims that he has accomplished the Unsurpassed Way. After my Nirvana, in the Dharma-ending Age, these hordes of ghosts and spirits will abound, spreading like wildfire as they argue that eating meat will bring one to the Bodhi Way. Ananda, I permit the Bhikshus to eat five kinds of pure meat. This meat is actually a transformation brought into being by my spiritual powers. It basically has no life-force. You Brahmans live in a climate so hot and humid, and on such sandy and rocky land, that vegetables will not grow; therefore, I have had to assist you with spiritual powers and compassion. Because of this magnanimous kindness and compassion, this so-called meat suits your taste. After my extinction, how can those who eat the flesh of beings be called the disciples of Shakya? You should know that, even if these meat-eaters may enter the heart-open state similar to Samadhi, they are all great Rakshas. When their retribution ends, they are bound to sink into the bitter sea of birth and death. They are not disciples of the Buddha. Such people as these kill and eat one another in a never-ending cycle. How can such people transcend the Triple Realm? "

"When you teach people of the world to cultivate Samadhi, they must also cease killing. This is the second clear and decisive instruction on purity given by the Tathagatas, the Buddhas of the Past, the Bhagavans. Therefore, Ananda, if cultivators of Dhyana Samadhi do not stop killing, they are like one who stops up his ears and calls out in a loud voice, thinking that no one hears him.. He tries to cover up the sound, but only makes it greater. Pure Bhikshus and Bodhisattvas who practice purity will not even step on grass in the pathway; even less would they pull it up with their hands. How could anyone with great compassion consume the flesh and blood of beings? Bhikshus who do not wear silk, leather boots, furs, or down, whether imported or found locally, and who do not consume milk, cream, or butter, can truly transcend this world. When they have paid back their past debts, they will not have to re-enter the Triple Realm. Why not? When someone wears anything taken from a living creature, he creates relationships with the creature, just as when people ate the hundred grains, their feet could not leave the earth. Both physically and mentally one must avoid the bodies and the by-products of beings, by neither wearing them nor eating them. I say that such people have true liberation. What I have said here is the Buddhas' teaching. Any explanation counter to it is the teaching of Papiyan(demon king)."


(楞嚴經卷第六之11)  

阿難!又諸世界,六道眾生,其心不殺,則不隨其生死相續。汝修三昧,本出塵勞,殺心不除,塵不可出。縱有多智,禪定現前,如不斷殺,必落神道:上品之人,為大力鬼;中品則為飛行夜叉,諸鬼帥等;下品當為地行羅剎。彼諸鬼神,亦有徒眾,各各自謂,成無上道。我滅度後,末法之中,多此鬼神,熾盛世間,自言食肉得菩提路。阿難!我令比丘,食五淨肉,此肉皆我神力化生,本無命根。汝婆羅門,地多蒸濕,加以沙石,草菜不生,我以大悲神力所加因大慈悲,假名為肉,汝得其味。奈何如來滅度之後,食眾生肉,名為釋子!汝等當知,是食肉人,縱得心開,似三摩地,皆大羅剎,報終必沈生死苦海,非佛弟子。如是之人,相殺相吞,相食未已,云何是人得出三界?汝教世人,修三摩地,次斷殺生。是名如來先佛世尊第二決定清淨明誨。是故阿難!若不斷殺,修禪定者,譬如有人:自塞其耳,高聲大叫,求人不聞,此等名為欲隱彌露。清淨比丘,及諸菩薩,于歧路行,不蹋生草,況以手拔?云何大悲取諸眾生血肉充食?若諸比丘,不服東方,絲、綿、絹、帛,及是此土,靴、履、裘、毳,乳、酪、醍醐,如是比丘,於世真脫,酬還宿債,不遊三界。何以故?服其身分,皆為彼緣;如人食其地中百穀,足不離地。必使身心,于諸眾生,若身、身分,身心二途,不服不食,我說是人真解脫者。如我此說,名為佛說;不如此說,即波旬說。

(Shurangama Sutra, Volume 6-10)

At that time, the Bhagavan praised Ananda in front of the whole assembly, saying, "Good indeed! How good it is that you have asked how to establish a Way-place and to rescue and protect beings who are sunk in the morass of the final age. Listen well, now, and I will tell you."

Ananda and the great assembly agreed to uphold the teaching.

The Buddha told Ananda, "You constantly hear me explain in the Vinaya that there are three decisive aspects to cultivation. That is, collecting one's thoughts constitutes the precepts; from the precepts comes Samadhi; and from Samadhi arises wisdom. These are called the Three Non-Outflow Studies. "

"Ananda, why do I call collecting one's thoughts the precepts? If beings in the six paths of any mundane world had no sexual desire, they would not have to undergo a continual succession of births and deaths. Your basic purpose in cultivating Samadhi is to transcend the wearisome defilements. But if you do not renounce sexual desire, you will not be able to get out of the dust. Even though people may have some wisdom and the manifestation of Dhyana Samadhi, if they do not exterminate sexual desire, they are certain to enter demonic paths. At best, they will become demon kings; on the average, they will become members of the retinue of demons; at the lowest level, they will become female demons. These demons all have their groups of disciples. Each claims that he has accomplished the Unsurpassed Way. After my Nirvana, in the Dharma-ending Age, these hordes of demons will abound, spreading like wildfire as they openly practice greed and lust, while claiming to be Good Knowing Advisors. They will cause beings to fall into the pit of love and views and lose the way to Bodhi."

"When you teach people of the world to cultivate Samadhi, they must first of all cut off the mind of sexual desire. This is the first clear and decisive instruction on purity given by the Tathagatas, the Buddhas of the past, the Bhagavans. Therefore, Ananda, if cultivators of Dhyana Samadhi do not exterminate sexual desire, they are like someone who cooks sand hoping to get rice. After hundreds of thousands of eons, it will still just be hot sand. Why? It wasn't rice to begin with; it was only sand. If you seek the Buddha's wonderful fruition with a body of sexual desire, then even if you attain a wonderful awakening, it is still based on sexual desire. With sexual desire at the source, you will revolve in the three paths and not be able to get out. Which road will you take to cultivate and be certified to the Tathagata's Nirvana? You must exterminate the sexual desire which is intrinsic to both body and mind, then get rid of even the aspect of extermination. At that point you have some hope of attaining the Buddha's Bodhi. What I have said here is the Buddhas' teaching. Any explanation counter to it is the teaching of Papiyan(demon king)."



(楞嚴經卷第六之10)  

爾時世尊,於大眾中,稱讚阿難:善哉!善哉!如汝所問,安立道場,救護眾生,末劫沈溺,汝今諦聽:當為汝說。阿難大眾,唯然奉教。佛告阿難:汝常聞我毗奈耶中,宣說修行,三決定義,所謂:攝心為戒,因戒生定,因定發慧,是則名為,三無漏學。阿難!云何攝心,我名為戒?若諸世界,六道眾生,其心不淫,則不隨其生死相續。汝修三昧,本出塵勞,淫心不除,塵不可出。縱有多智,禪定現前。如不斷淫,必落魔道:上品魔王,中品魔民,下品魔女。彼等諸魔,亦有徒眾,各各自謂,成無上道。我滅度後,末法之中,多此魔民,熾盛世間,廣行貪淫,為善知識,令諸眾生,落愛見坑,失菩提路。汝教世人,修三摩地,先斷心淫。是名如來先佛世尊第一決定清淨明誨。是故阿難!若不斷淫,修禪定者,如蒸沙石,欲其成飯,經百千劫,只名熱沙。何以故?此非飯本,沙石成故。汝以淫身,求佛妙果,縱得妙悟,皆是淫根,根本成淫,輪轉三途,必不能出;如來涅槃,何路修證?必使淫機,身心俱斷,斷性亦無,於佛菩提,斯可希冀。如我此說,名為佛說;不如此說,即波旬說。
