This file has been created in the project "A Digital Comparative Edition of the Bieyi za ahan jing" conducted at the Chung-hwa Institute for Buddhist Studies 中華佛學研究所 and the Dharma Drum Buddhist College 法鼓佛教研修學院.

In the original interface, the texts were kept in an eXist database and are realized via XQuery and XSLT as HTML for the online user. The project lasted from 2005-2009.

聞如是：一時佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
有
如是持何等，分別觀惡人？
佛報言：
譬喻惡人如月。
復問佛：
若人欲分別慧人，持何等觀？
譬喻慧人，如月。
復問佛：
何等為不慧人如月？
譬喻二十九日，月明亦減，色亦減，方亦減，見亦減。
在中夜過為減行，有時月為一切索盡，不復現，如月盡時。愚癡亦如是，為從所得道者，聞經、教 誡、慧信已得，不奉行，不受聽，不著心，捨離教，不著行。便信減，戒減，聞減，施減，慧減，中夜過亡。是婆羅門有一時令所愚人者，一切盡，一切不現所得好法，譬如月盡時二十九日，如是見，愚癡者譬喻月。
復問佛：
欲知慧
者行說。
譬喻月十五日，明亦增，方亦增，見亦增。復一時，為月一切增具止。十五日時亦如是。慧者所道德言如法行便得信。 從得信聽事著意不捨離。所教合聚，便得增信，增戒，增聞，增施，增慧，增高。敢言便中夜增滿。 亦有一時增所。是智慧者，一切行得具足，所行淨教
誡，譬喻月十五日，明月時至。明慧人見如是，婆羅門！譬喻月。
從移說絕辭：
譬如月明在中行 一切天下星宿從明所勝 信聞者亦爾 能布施無有慳 難捨世間一切為從布施明 譬如雷鳴 雲 電俱多 含水灑地 信聞者亦如是 能布施無有慳 便從飲食滿設說復與 便有名聞聲如天雨墮 便多福汔與者得 如雨珍寶穀 名聞亦 得天上 已有德行 後世在天上
便
從今受佛教
誡行。
佛說如是。
