大比丘三千威儀 1.5

1.5

二者，不知是罪非罪。或是佛法罪非世界罪，或世界罪非佛法罪，或亦佛法罪亦世界罪，或非佛法罪非世界罪。佛法罪非世界罪者，制戒後長財離衣等是。世界罪非佛法罪，未制戒前殺盜等是。亦佛法罪亦世界罪者，制戒前制戒後犯婬欺戒等是。或非佛法罪非世界罪，制戒前殺草木等是。若比丘觸食夜食、比丘失食宿，觀能作此三事：若食此食，是罪。若可信人共食宿食，是非罪。如是等事不知，是名不知是罪非罪。

Second, not understanding what is an offense and what is not an offense: whether it is an offense against the Buddha’s Dharma and not a worldly offense, or a worldly offense and not an offense against the Buddha’s Dharma, or both an offense against the Buddha’s Dharma and a worldly offense, or neither an offense against the Buddha’s Dharma nor a worldly offense. An offense against the Buddha’s Dharma and not a worldly offense refers to [possessing] surplus property or being separated from one’s robes after the institution of the precepts. A worldly offense and not an offense against the Buddha’s Dharma refers to killing, stealing, and the like before the institution of the precepts. Both an offense against the Buddha’s Dharma and a worldly offense refers to breaking the precepts against sexual misconduct, deceit, and the like, before and after the institution of the precepts. Neither an offense against the Buddha’s Dharma nor a worldly offense refers to killing grass and trees and the like before the institution of the precepts. If a bhikṣu touches food or eats at night, or if a bhikṣu loses food overnight, consider whether one can perform these three acts: if one eats this food, it is an offense; if one eats overnight food together with a trustworthy person, it is not an offense. Not knowing such matters is called not understanding what is an offense and what is not an offense.
