佛說大乘戒經
西天譯經三藏朝散大夫試鴻臚卿傳法大師臣施護奉 詔譯
如是我聞：
一時佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
爾時世尊告苾芻言：「有破壞戒行壽命者、有斷滅善根者，出家難值，發精進心，堅固守護。若諸苾芻等，于佛法中求解脫者，遠離一切諸惡苦惱，如佛所說，寧捨身命而趣無常，不得縱心犯其戒律。若人捨命只壞一生，若復破戒，令百萬生沉淪惡道。若人持戒當得見佛。戒為最上莊嚴，戒為最上妙香，戒為歡喜勝因。戒體清凈，如清冷水，能除熱惱。戒法最大，世間咒法，龍蛇之毒而不能侵。持戒得名聞，持戒獲安樂，如是命終時，復得生天上。」
佛言：「苾芻！若犯律儀，譬如盲人，不見眾色，亦如無足，不能行道，遠離涅槃，不到彼岸。若持戒人成就一切法寶，譬如賢瓶，圓滿堅固，能盛一切珍寶。如是破損，珍寶散失；若破律儀，則舍一切善法。先曾犯戒，而後心欲求涅盤，如去眼、耳，對鏡照面，何所堪能！」
佛言：「苾芻！女人無信，不可親近；王恩雖勝，不可恃怙；水沫無實，不可撮摩；富貴無常，不可久住；色相如花，須臾變異；壽如熟果

如是我聞：
一時，佛在舍衛國（Śrāvastī）祇樹給孤獨園（Jetavana-anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma）。
爾時，世尊告訴比丘（bhikṣu）們說：『有人破壞戒行和壽命，有人斷滅善根。出家很難得，要發起精進心，堅固地守護戒律。如果各位比丘等，在佛法中求解脫，就要遠離一切諸惡苦惱，如佛所說，寧可捨棄身命而趨向無常，也不得放縱自己的心意去觸犯戒律。如果人捨棄生命，只壞一生；如果破壞戒律，會令百萬生沉淪於惡道。如果人持守戒律，就能得見佛。戒律是最上的莊嚴，戒律是最上的妙香，戒律是歡喜的殊勝原因。戒體清凈，如清涼的水，能去除熱惱。戒法最大，世間的咒法、龍蛇的毒都不能侵犯。持戒能得到名聞，持戒能獲得安樂，這樣命終時，還能得生天上。』
佛說：『比丘！如果觸犯律儀，譬如盲人，看不見各種顏色；又如沒有腳的人，不能行走道路，遠離涅槃（nirvāṇa），不能到達彼岸。如果持戒的人，就成就一切法寶，譬如賢瓶，圓滿堅固，能盛裝一切珍寶。如果賢瓶破損，珍寶就會散失；如果破壞律儀，就會捨棄一切善法。先前曾經犯戒，而後內心想要尋求涅槃，如同失去眼睛、耳朵，對著鏡子照臉，有什麼用呢！』
佛說：『比丘！女人沒有信用，不可親近；王恩雖然殊勝，不可依賴；水沫沒有真實，不可用手去撮取；富貴沒有常性，不可長久居住；色相如花朵，須臾之間就會變異；壽命如同成熟的果實。
【English Translation】 English version: The Buddha Speaks the Mahayana Precepts Sutra
Translated by the Tripitaka Master Shi Hu, Minister of the Honglu Temple and Great Master of Spreading the Dharma, under Imperial Decree, from the Western Regions.
Thus have I heard:
At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti (Śrāvastī).
At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikshus (bhikṣu): 'There are those who destroy their precepts and conduct, and their lifespan; there are those who cut off their roots of goodness. It is difficult to become a renunciate; generate a mind of diligence and firmly guard your precepts. If you bhikshus, etc., seek liberation in the Buddhadharma, you must stay away from all evil and suffering. As the Buddha said, rather give up your life and go towards impermanence, than to indulge your mind and violate the precepts. If a person gives up their life, they only ruin one lifetime; if they break the precepts, they will cause millions of lifetimes to sink into evil paths. If a person upholds the precepts, they will be able to see the Buddha. Precepts are the supreme adornment, precepts are the supreme wonderful fragrance, precepts are the superior cause of joy. The substance of precepts is pure, like cool water, able to remove heat and vexation. The Dharma of precepts is the greatest; worldly mantras, the poison of dragons and snakes cannot invade it. Upholding the precepts brings fame, upholding the precepts brings happiness; thus, at the time of death, one will be reborn in the heavens.'
The Buddha said: 'Bhikshus! If you violate the Vinaya, it is like a blind person who cannot see colors, or like a person without feet who cannot walk the path, staying away from Nirvana (nirvāṇa), unable to reach the other shore. If a person upholds the precepts, they accomplish all Dharma treasures, like a virtuous vase, complete and firm, able to hold all precious jewels. If such a vase is broken, the jewels will be scattered; if you break the Vinaya, you will abandon all good Dharmas. If you have previously violated the precepts, and then your mind desires to seek Nirvana, it is like losing your eyes and ears, and looking at your face in a mirror, what use is there!'
The Buddha said: 'Bhikshus! Women have no trustworthiness, and should not be approached; the king's favor, though superior, cannot be relied upon; foam on the water is unreal, and cannot be grasped; wealth and nobility are impermanent, and cannot be lived in for long; appearance is like a flower, changing in an instant; life is like a ripe fruit.
，不可久停，如急流渡船、如朽屋暫住；寧食毒藥，不得飲酒；寧入大火，不得嗜慾！」
佛說是經已，時彼苾芻及諸菩薩皆大歡喜，信受奉行。
佛說大乘戒經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：不要長久停留，就像在急流中渡船，像在朽壞的房屋裡暫時居住；寧可吃毒藥，也不要飲酒；寧可進入大火，也不要貪圖慾望！
佛陀說完這部經后，當時的那些比丘（bhiksu，佛教出家男眾）以及各位菩薩（bodhisattva，立志成佛的修行者）都非常歡喜，相信並接受奉行。
《佛說大乘戒經》
【English Translation】 English version: Do not linger for long, like crossing a river in a swift current, like temporarily dwelling in a dilapidated house; rather eat poison than drink alcohol; rather enter a great fire than indulge in desires!
After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhiksus (bhiksu, Buddhist monks) and all the bodhisattvas (bodhisattva, one who aspires to become a Buddha) were all greatly rejoiced, believed, accepted, and practiced it.
