At home, seeing profit, one may also engage in sexual misconduct: A layperson at home, for the sake of profit, may also engage in sexual misconduct. As stated in the Bodhisattva-bhumi: As stated in the 'Bodhisattva-bhumi Sutra'. A Bodhisattva at home sees a woman in a town who is currently unattached and has the practice of sexual desire, and then a Bodhisattva with a continuous mind seeks non-brahmacharya: A Bodhisattva at home sees a woman who is currently unattached and has the thought of practicing sexual desire, so he goes to fulfill her wishes and seeks non-brahmacharya. Having seen this, the Bodhisattva thinks: 'Lest she become angry and generate much non-merit. If I follow her desire, she will attain freedom. I will skillfully settle her, plant good seeds, abandon evil, abide in compassion, and practice non-brahmacharya': Having seen this situation, the Bodhisattva thinks: 'Do not let her become angry because she is not satisfied, thereby generating many bad results. If I follow her desire, she will attain freedom.' Thus, the Bodhisattva skillfully settles her, allowing her to plant good causes, abandon evil results, abide in compassion, and practice non-brahmacharya. Although practicing such defiled dharmas, there is no offense and much merit is generated: Although practicing such impure dharmas, there is no offense, but instead much merit is generated. This is not the case for monks. It is to protect the Sravaka precepts: Monks cannot do this, because they must protect the Sravaka precepts. Speaking of the aspect of violating the nature of the offense, such as the sutra mentions the cause of lust, the karma of lust, the dharma of lust, and the conditions of lust. These are based on the coarse aspects to establish the initial precepts: Speaking of the aspect of violating the nature of the offense, such as the sutra mentions the cause of lust (淫因, yin yin), the karma of lust (淫业, yin ye), the dharma of lust (淫法, yin fa), and the conditions of lust (淫缘, yin yuan). These are based on the coarse aspects to establish the initial precepts. If considering the transcendent, the Nirvana Sutra says: 'Although not having intercourse with a woman, hearing the sound of a woman's jewelry from outside the wall, and generating love in the mind, constitutes breaking the precept': If considering the transcendent, the 'Nirvana Sutra' says, 'Even if not having intercourse with a woman, just hearing the sound of a woman's jewelry from outside the wall and generating love in the mind, it is considered breaking the precept.' The Upasaka Precept Sutra says: 'A Bodhisattva thinking of the jewelry on a woman's body, etc., is a Parajika offense. Know that these are all established based on the earthly situation': The 'Upasaka Precept Sutra' says, 'If a Bodhisattva develops attachment to the jewelry on a woman's body, etc., it is considered a Parajika offense (波罗夷, bo luo yi). It should be known that these are all established based on the earthly situation.' As the Manjushri Question Sutra says: 'If a Bodhisattva's transcendent precept involves mentally distinguishing between male and female or non-male and non-female appearances, it is a Bodhisattva's Parajika offense': As the 'Manjushri Question Sutra' says, 'If a Bodhisattva's transcendent precept involves mentally distinguishing between male and female or non-male and non-female appearances, it is a Bodhisattva's Parajika offense.' Speaking of the aspect of the object, such as the sutra says, 'Even a female animal and non-dharmic conduct': Speaking of the aspect of the object, such as the sutra says, 'Even a female animal and non-dharmic conduct (非道行, fei dao xing)'.

Because engaging in sexual misconduct in other places does not constitute a major offense. Speaking of the devas, such as demonesses transforming into human form and engaging in sexual misconduct with monks: Speaking of the devas, such as demonesses transforming into human form and engaging in sexual misconduct with monks.

Master Yiji (义寂师, Yi Ji Shi) says, 'Excluding the three important places, the other parts of the body.' If according to the Vinaya texts, having a normal thought about the normal place, having a non-normal thought about the normal place, and doubt all constitute a major offense. If union with the object occurs to the extent of a hair's breadth, it constitutes the ultimate offense. If forced by an enemy to unite with the object, prohibiting the enjoyment of pleasure. Now, although the Bodhisattva precept does not seek pleasure, generating pleasure due to being controlled by afflictions is not an offense: If according to the Vinaya texts, having a normal thought about the normal place, having a non-normal thought about the normal place, and doubt all constitute a major offense. If union with the object occurs to the extent of a hair's breadth, it constitutes the ultimate offense. If forced by an enemy to unite with the object, prohibiting the enjoyment of pleasure. Now, although the Bodhisattva precept does not seek pleasure, generating pleasure due to being controlled by afflictions is not an offense. Speaking of the aspect of concluding the offense, such as the sutra says, 'And the Bodhisattva commits a Parajika offense.' This is because the offense is formally concluded: Speaking of the aspect of concluding the offense, such as the sutra says, 'And the Bodhisattva commits a Parajika offense.'

English version: People first deceive themselves, and then deceive others. They take the real as unreal, and the unreal as real. When falsehood and truth are reversed, they cannot receive good Dharma. It's like an overturned bottle, water cannot enter. As the World Honored One said, false speech covers the heart, and the nectar of Dharma cannot enter. Conversely, a person who speaks truthfully has a straightforward and honest heart, making it easier to attain liberation. It's like dragging wood in a dense forest; a straight log is easier to pull out. The *Yogacarabhumi-sastra* says that the most important of the precepts to observe is to abstain from false speech. False speech is the opposite of this, obstructing good Dharma and causing one to fall into evil realms. Even if one is later reborn as a human, they are often slandered because the fault is so serious. Next are the precepts concerning bodily actions. In the second explanation, first is the aspect of violating the precept. As the sutra says, from speaking falsehoods oneself to expedient falsehoods. 'Expedient' means borrowing other matters to cause others to have a mistaken understanding. Second is the nature of violating the precept. As the sutra says, from the cause of false speech to the condition of false speech. The questions and answers within can be referenced in the *Great Treatise Commentary*. Regarding the object of the transgression, as the sutra says, even not seeing but saying one has seen, this involves false speech of body and mind. To distinguish from the *Sravakas*, it is said to be great false speech. Or, the four types of speech, seeing, hearing, etc., include the other three. Bodily false speech refers to using bodily actions to express false information without speaking. Mental false speech refers to inverted thoughts, such as having the thought of seeing when one has not seen, and falsely claiming to have seen. Although the matter itself is real, because the truth is concealed, this is called false speech of the mind. Furthermore, as the *Manjusri Questions Sutra*, Chapter on Transcendent Precepts, says, if the mind of false speech arises, one commits a *Parajika* offense. Regarding the establishment of the offense, as the sutra says, if a Bodhisattva speaks falsehoods himself, he commits a *Parajika* offense. Bodhisattvas should always practice right speech themselves and also encourage others to practice right speech. To distinguish from false speech, it is called right speech. To distinguish from inverted thoughts, it is called right view. If a Bodhisattva himself has the mind of false speech, and sentient beings follow him in speaking, then wrong speech arises. Others think it is true, so wrong view arises. Following this mind and speech in action, wrong karma arises. If, in order to save many sentient beings, even if concealing the truth, as long as it is with right knowledge, speaking some expedient falsehoods, the *Yogacarabhumi-sastra* says that this does not violate the precepts and instead generates much merit. Otherwise, speaking falsehoods commits the offense of defeat. The Fifth Precept: The Precept Against Selling Alcohol Sutra: If a disciple of the Buddha sells alcohol himself, he commits a Bodhisattva *Parajika* offense. Explanation: The initial reason for establishing this precept is that indulging in alcohol will lead to self-indulgence, which will inevitably lead to regret, loss of correct thoughts, and violation of... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
