謂受持八齋戒者得八種之勝功德也。一不墮獄、二不墮鬼、三不墮畜、四不墮須羅、五常生人中出家得道、六生欲天上、七恒生梵天值佛請法、八得菩提。見十善戒經。
The eight kinds of surpassing things, i.e. those who keep the first eight commandments receive the eight kinds of reward―they escape from falling into the hells; becoming pretas; or animals; or asuras; they will be born among men, become monks, and obtain the truth; in the heavens of desire; in the brahma-heaven, or meet a Buddha; and obtain perfect enlightenment.
一八種勝法 乃指受持八齋戒者所得之八種殊勝功德，八者即：(1)不墮地獄。(2)不墮餓鬼。(3)不墮阿修羅。(4)不墮畜生。(5)常生人中，出家得涅槃道。(6)若生天上，恆生梵天。(7)值佛出世，請轉法輪。(8)得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。〔受十善戒經〕p458
