[80] 今之学密宗者多开荤吃肉对吗？
[80] Of Those Presently Learning [The] Esoteric Tradition, [With] Many Resuming Eating [Of] Meat, [Is This] Right?
◎ 喇嘛做大佛事，尚须吃素。可知平常吃肉，固非正义。
◎ [Summary]: As Lamas doing great Buddhist practices, also must eat [as] veg[etari]ans, [it] can [be] known [that in] ordinary [times] eating meat, certainly [is] not righteous.
西藏、蒙古喇嘛皆吃肉，以其无什米粮，尚有可原。
[In] Tibet [and] Mongolia, Lamas [who] all eat meat, with those [being] without mixed rice [and] grains, still have [that] excusable.
今之学密宗者，多开荤吃肉，反大嘉美其事，谓为吃了就度脱了，则成魔说矣。
Of those presently learning [the] Esoteric Tradition, [with] many resuming eating [of] meat, instead greatly praising this matter, saying [it] is [with the animals] eaten already, [that they will] right away [be] delivered [and] liberated completely, [this] then becomes [what] demons say.
喇嘛做大佛事，尚须吃素。可知平常吃肉，固非正义。
As Lamas doing great Buddhist practices, also must eat [as] veg[etari]ans, [it] can [be] known [that in] ordinary [times] eating meat, certainly [is] not righteous.
