Visuddhimagga I-28

Tatiyaduke pāṇātipātādīhi veramaṇimattaṃ viratisīlaṃ.

（3）（离、不离）于第三种二法中，离杀生等为「离戒」；

Ñ(I,28): 4. In the third dyad virtue as abstinence is simply abstention from killing living things, etc.;



Sesaṃ cetanādi aviratisīlanti evaṃ viratiavirativasena duvidhaṃ.

其余的思等为「不离戒」，这是离、不离二种。

Ñ: the other kinds consisting in volition, etc., are virtue as non-abstinence. So it is of two kinds as abstinence and non-abstinence.
