【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- an erroneous vow
So those that are not a vow certainly lead to downfall. What is not a vow? We call it erroneous vows, we may not be very clear with this concept, and it will be briefly mentioned here. Usually, there are two or three types of situations that we talk about: the first is your family background. For instance, your birth family – we may not have castes here. In India, the clans passed down in their traditions, for example, they have Brahmins, Ksatriyas, Chandalas, or butchers who slaughter pigs and goats. Their professions were inherited from their ancestors, they just follow suit, like that. So, in other words, this is a specific profession of slaughtering pigs and goats, therefore the concept of butchering was planted at a very young age. Actually, we still have this type of profession over here. Like many non-Buddhists are doing it. When I was in India, I heard this once: one of the religions was teaching the concept of killing people. The way they kill is not like a bandit first, they would show a friendly appearance. Once they saw a stranger, they would help you with great friendliness and gain your trust. And then they will take you somewhere, a few people would surround you to kill you and take away all your belongings. Because it was a religion, so even the government could not do anything about it. This is still happening now! This force of the religion is an erroneous vow; this is one type.

道次引导 : 恶律仪I
什么是不律仪？我们叫恶戒，这个概念我们不大清楚，这个地方简单说一下。通常有两种、有三种状态可以说：第一种这个出身的家庭，譬如说出生的这个家庭，像我们这里不大有，印度他这个是家族传下来的，譬如说他那个是婆罗门种、刹帝利种、旃陀罗种，或者杀猪的、宰羊的，他这职业本身就是祖上传下来的，就该这么做，这样。所以换句话说，这一种是专门讲杀生的，杀猪、宰羊就这个样，所以他那个概念从小当中就应该这么做。其实我们现在这里还是有这种，譬如说有很多外道，他觉得就要这样做的。我在印度就听见过这么一个，他那个宗教的说法，就是说告诉我们去杀人。杀人他不是说像强盗这样，用几个人先一副好面孔，看见一个陌生人来了，他就跟你很亲善地来帮忙你，你相信他了。然后他就带你到某个地方去，然后几个人围上来把你弄死，把你的东西就统统拿去。而且因为它是一个宗教，所以那个政府简直没办法它，到现在这种东西还有欸！这个宗教就有这么力量，这种就是恶律仪，这是一种。
