森然萬境,何事非持

《資持》云:「森然萬境,何事非持,若不先發,行自何生。故知受前預須委學,今時昧教,誰復知之?」

Under highly diverse circumstances, where can't we observe precepts? If precept receivers do not understand the essence of precepts must be attained through the sentient and the insentient beings, how could they observe the precepts? Before receiving precepts, we shall learn carefully the doctrines of attaining and observing them. While most people nowadays are ignorant about those doctrines, who would still understand them well enough?
