宣化老和尚开示(中英文双语)：破戒怎么办？

　　◎ 破戒怎么办？

　　◎ What if I break the precepts?

　　「戒为成佛之母」，想要成佛就要持戒，不能犯戒的。犯戒就好像船有窟窿，你说这个船是不是要沉到大海里去？所以犯戒就好像船沉到大海一样，所以不是受了戒不持戒。你受了戒，就要守着戒；你不守着戒，那就是漏了。你这一漏，就成了有漏，不是无漏了。无漏就是你不破戒；你破了戒，就是漏。漏了怎么办？就要补。怎么补？就要做功德，用钱或是用力量来做功德，在三宝的面前立功德赎罪，你立功就没有罪了。

　　Precepts are the mother of Buddhahood. If you want to become a Buddha, you must uphold precepts and not break them. Having transgressed the precepts is just like drifting in the ocean in a leaking boat. Won't the boat sink? Violating the precepts is just like causing the boat to sink in the ocean. When you have received the precepts, you must uphold them. If you don’t, it’s the same as having leaks. When you leak, you are not free of outflows. Having no outflows comes when we do not break the precepts; when you break the precepts, you have outflows. What should you do if that happens? You must mend the precepts. How? You may create merit and virtue either by making monetary donations or by doing volunteer work. By redeeming your offenses and establishing merit before the Triple Jewel, you will wipe out your offenses.
