English version 'If someone says that by practicing the Six Paramitas (generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom), one ultimately cannot attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled perfect enlightenment), it is better to quickly arouse the mind of a Sravaka (one who hears the teachings) or Pratyekabuddha (one who attains enlightenment on their own), swiftly end birth and death, and enter Parinirvana (complete cessation).’ The rest is as described above. This is called a Bodhisattva who has just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment committing the second fundamental grave offense. 'Furthermore, good man! A Bodhisattva who has just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment says to others: ‘Why do you now need to receive and study the Pratimoksha (precepts)? You should quickly arouse the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, receive, uphold, and recite the Mahayana sutras. The unwholesome actions of body, speech, and mind that you have previously committed will be purified, and you will not suffer future evil consequences.’ The rest is as described above. This is called a Bodhisattva who has just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment committing the third fundamental grave offense. 'Furthermore, good man! A Bodhisattva who has just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment says to others: ‘You should not listen to, receive, or recite the Sravaka sutras. You should conceal the Sravaka sutras. There are no great rewards in the Sravaka Dharma, and it cannot cut off the fetters of afflictions. You should listen to, receive, and recite the pure, profound Mahayana sutras, which can also eliminate all unwholesome actions and quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.’ After saying these words, if there are those who believe and accept them, both of them are said to have committed a fundamental offense. The rest is as described above. This is called a Bodhisattva who has just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment committing the fourth fundamental grave offense. 'Furthermore, good man! A Bodhisattva who has just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment deceives with false speech, engages in divisive speech, hoping to gain fame, profit, and respect. They praise the Mahayana sutras while explaining them to others, but say to people: ‘I am one who understands the Mahayana well.’ Because of greed for profit, when they see others explaining the Mahayana sutras and receiving offerings, they hate, despise, and are jealous, and they become arrogant, falsely claiming to have attained superior Dharma. One who acts in this way has left the place of safety and committed a Parajika (defeat), which is the most serious fundamental offense in the Mahayana. Good man! It is like a person who wants to go to a treasure island, boards a ship to enter the sea, but destroys their own ship halfway, sinks and drowns, and cannot save their own life. How can they obtain treasure? A Bodhisattva who has just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment is also like this. They board the ship of right faith to enter the deep and vast ocean of the Mahayana Dharma, but as soon as they enter the sea, they destroy their own ship of faith and lose their life of wisdom.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

如是愚痴初发心菩萨，以嫉妒故虚诳妄语得过人法，而犯大乘重根本罪。余如上说。是名初发心菩萨犯于第五根本重罪。 “复次善男子！未来世中初发心菩萨语在家出家初发心菩萨言：‘修多罗中甚深空义，及以三昧诸陀罗尼忍辱之地种种庄严，是大明智诸菩萨等所可观行，受持读诵大乘经典，又能为他分别演说。我自解了以慈悲故为汝等说，汝等亦当随所说行，于深妙法而得知见。’彼初发心菩萨不作是言我读诵思惟从他闻解，而言自得，皆是贪求利养因缘而自炫卖，违负三世诸佛菩萨及众贤圣，犯于大乘最深重罪，失人天路。尚不能得声闻辟支佛乘，何由渐进到于大乘？善男子！譬如有人将导众人游行旷野，经过丛林极大饥渴。见彼林中有诸美果而弃舍之，取于毒果食已命终。善男子！彼人犹尚不能自济，况复兼能度于余人？彼初发心菩萨亦复如是，人身难得今已得之，遇善知识发大乘心，而贪利养轻自炫卖，犯重根本罪，违负三世诸佛菩萨，为诸贤圣之所弃舍，堕于恶趣。是故婆罗门、刹利、毗舍、首陀罗，不应亲近此恶菩萨，若亲近者亦皆得罪。余如上说。是名初发心菩萨犯于第六根本重罪。 “复次善男子！未来恶世初发心菩萨造作诸杂旃陀罗行，谓刹利旃陀罗、婆罗门旃陀罗、大臣旃陀罗 现代汉语译本：像这样愚痴的初发心菩萨，因为嫉妒的缘故，用虚假的妄语来获取超过常人的名利，就犯了大乘的根本重罪。其余的罪过如上面所说。这叫做初发心菩萨犯了第五条根本重罪。 现代汉语译本：‘再者，善男子！在未来的世代中，初发心的菩萨对在家或出家的初发心菩萨说：’修多罗（佛经）中甚深的空性义理，以及三昧（禅定）、陀罗尼（总持）、忍辱的境界和种种庄严，是那些具有大智慧的菩萨们才能观察修行的。他们受持读诵大乘经典，又能为他人分别演说。我因为自己理解了这些道理，出于慈悲心才为你们解说，你们也应当按照我所说的去修行，从而对深奥微妙的佛法有所了解和认识。’那些初发心的菩萨却不说自己是通过读诵、思考或者从他人那里听闻而理解的，反而说是自己领悟的，这都是因为贪求名利而自我炫耀，违背了三世诸佛菩萨以及众贤圣的教诲，犯了大乘最深重的罪过，失去了人天善道。他们甚至不能证得声闻乘和辟支佛乘的果位，又怎么能逐渐进步到大乘的境界呢？善男子！譬如有人带领众人在旷野中行走，经过丛林时感到非常饥渴。他看到林中有许多美味的果子却舍弃不吃，反而去吃有毒的果子，结果丧失了性命。善男子！这个人尚且不能自救，又怎么能去度化他人呢？那些初发心的菩萨也是这样，人身难得而今已得到，遇到了善知识并发起了大乘之心，却因为贪图名利而轻率地自我炫耀，犯了根本重罪，违背了三世诸佛菩萨的教诲，被诸位贤圣所抛弃，堕入恶道。因此，婆罗门（祭司）、刹利（武士）、毗舍（商人）、首陀罗（奴隶）都不应该亲近这些恶菩萨，如果亲近他们也会因此获罪。其余的罪过如上面所说。这叫做初发心菩萨犯了第六条根本重罪。 现代汉语译本：‘再者，善男子！在未来的恶世中，初发心的菩萨会做出各种杂乱的旃陀罗（贱民）行为，比如刹利旃陀罗（武士贱民）、婆罗门旃陀罗（祭司贱民）、大臣旃陀罗（大臣贱民）’

English version: Such a foolish Bodhisattva who has just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment, due to jealousy, uses false and deceptive words to obtain advantages over others, and thus commits a grave fundamental offense of the Mahayana. The remaining offenses are as described above. This is called a Bodhisattva who has just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment committing the fifth fundamental grave offense. English version: 'Furthermore, good man! In the future world, a Bodhisattva who has just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment will say to other Bodhisattvas, whether they are lay or ordained, who have just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment: ‘The profound meaning of emptiness in the Sutras (Buddhist scriptures), as well as the states of Samadhi (meditative absorption), Dharani (mantras), the realm of patience, and various adornments, are what those Bodhisattvas with great wisdom can observe and practice. They uphold, recite, and read the Mahayana scriptures, and can also explain them to others. I have understood these principles myself, and out of compassion, I am explaining them to you. You should also practice according to what I have said, so that you may gain understanding and insight into the profound and subtle Dharma.’ Those Bodhisattvas who have just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment do not say that they understood through reading, contemplation, or hearing from others, but instead claim to have attained it themselves. This is all due to greed for gain and self-promotion, which goes against the teachings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the three times, as well as all the sages. They commit the most profound and grave offense of the Mahayana, and lose the path to human and heavenly realms. They cannot even attain the vehicle of Sravakas (hearers) or Pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizers), so how can they gradually progress to the Mahayana? Good man! It is like a person leading a group of people through a wilderness, who become extremely hungry and thirsty after passing through a forest. They see many delicious fruits in the forest but abandon them, instead eating poisonous fruits and dying. Good man! That person cannot even save himself, so how can he save others? Those Bodhisattvas who have just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment are also like this. It is difficult to obtain a human body, and now they have obtained it. They have met a good teacher and developed the aspiration for the Mahayana, but due to greed for gain, they carelessly promote themselves, commit a fundamental grave offense, go against the teachings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the three times, and are abandoned by all the sages, falling into evil realms. Therefore, Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (merchants), and Shudras (laborers) should not associate with these evil Bodhisattvas. If they do, they will also incur offenses. The remaining offenses are as described above. This is called a Bodhisattva who has just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment committing the sixth fundamental grave offense.' English version: 'Furthermore, good man! In the evil world of the future, Bodhisattvas who have just begun to develop the aspiration for enlightenment will engage in various mixed Chandala (outcaste) behaviors, such as Kshatriya Chandalas (warrior outcasts), Brahmin Chandalas (priest outcasts), and Minister Chandalas (minister outcasts).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
