食肉处。 如彼贪欲过， 障碍圣解脱， 酒肉葱韭蒜， 悉为圣道障。 未来世众生， 于肉愚痴说， 言此净无罪， 佛听我等食。 食如服药想， 亦如食子肉， 知足生厌离， 修行行乞食。 安住慈心者， 我说常厌离， 虎狼诸恶兽， 恒可同游止。 若食诸血肉， 众生悉恐怖， 是故修行者， 慈心不食肉。 食肉无慈悲， 永背正解脱， 及违圣表相， 是故不应食。 得生梵志种， 及诸修行处， 智慧富贵家， 斯由不食肉。” 楞伽阿跋多罗宝经卷第四 现代汉语译本： 在食用肉类的地方： 就像那过度的贪欲，障碍着圣者的解脱，酒、肉、葱、韭、蒜，都是圣道的障碍。 未来世的众生，对于肉食愚痴地说，说这肉是清净没有罪的，佛允许我们食用。 食用食物应当像服用药物一样，也像食用自己孩子的肉一样，知足而生厌离之心，修行者应当行乞食。 安住于慈悲心的人，我说他常常厌离肉食，（这样）才能与虎狼等各种恶兽一同游玩栖止。 如果食用各种血肉，众生都会感到恐怖，所以修行的人，因为慈悲心而不应食用肉类。 食用肉类就没有慈悲心，永远背离真正的解脱，也违背了圣者的表相，所以不应该食用。 能够出生在婆罗门种姓（梵志种），以及各种修行的地方，出生在智慧富贵之家，都是因为不食用肉类。 《楞伽阿跋多罗宝经》卷第四

English version: In places where meat is eaten: Like that excessive greed, it obstructs the liberation of the saints. Wine, meat, onions, leeks, and garlic are all obstacles to the holy path. Sentient beings in future generations will foolishly say about meat that it is pure and without sin, and that the Buddha allows us to eat it. Eating food should be like taking medicine, or like eating the flesh of one's own child. Knowing contentment gives rise to aversion and detachment. Practitioners should practice begging for food. Those who abide in loving-kindness, I say, are constantly averse to meat. (Only then) can they roam and dwell with tigers, wolves, and other evil beasts. If one eats various kinds of blood and flesh, all sentient beings will be terrified. Therefore, practitioners should not eat meat out of loving-kindness. Eating meat is without compassion, and one will forever turn away from true liberation, and also violate the appearance of a saint. Therefore, one should not eat it. Being born into a Brahmin caste (梵志种, Fànzhì zhǒng), and in various places of practice, and in wise and wealthy families, is all due to not eating meat.
