- 二罪
- The two classes of offence: (a) [lang id =1028]性罪 crime which is wrong in itself, e.g. murder, etc.; (b) [lang id =1028]遮罪 crime not wrong in itself, e.g. taking alcohol, but forbidden by the Buddha for the sake of the other commandments; transgression of this is therefore a sin against the Buddha.* * *﹝出圓覺經略疏鈔﹞ 〔一、 性罪〕, 性罪者, 即殺、 盜、 婬、 妄四種重戒, 不待佛制, 性是惡故, 犯之, 則有罪報也。 〔二、 遮罪〕, 遮罪者, 即酒戒也, 謂佛制此酒戒, 意為遮止無犯, 守護餘戒, 使不故犯, 如有犯者, 則獲遮制之罪也。* * *性罪和遮罪。 性罪是本性就是罪惡, 如殺、 盜、 淫、 妄, 不待佛制, 誰犯了就會得到罪報; 遮罪是遮止的罪, 如酒的本質不是惡, 但是佛禁止不許飲, 誰飲了就會得到毀犯佛制戒的罪。
