COMMANDU
ABSTINENCE FROM HARMING : THE PLANT-BODIED BEINGS
22. Such a disciplined, detached (austere), self-absolved (of sins of the past), and abstinent (of sinful activities in future) bhikkhu or bhikkhuni (male or female ascetic), during the day or the night, alone or in a crowd, while awake or asleep should not walk, stand, sit or sleep on seeds or things placed on seeds, sprouts or things placed on sprouts, growing plants or things placed on growing plants, grown plants or things placed on grown plants, severed plants or things placed on severed plants, or wood infested with insects; neither should he or she induce others to do so or approve of others doing so to a lesser or greater degree. All my life I will observe this great vow through three means and three methods. In other words, throughout my life I will, through mind, speech or body, neither do so, induce others to do so or approve of others doing so.
Bhante! I critically review any such act of harming the plant-bodied beings done in the past, denounce it, censure it, and earnestly desist from indulging in it. त्रसकाय समारंभ-विरमण
