佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事 1.56

Language
Classical Chinese

1.56

問:「戒律不用流落,得燒不?」答:「不得。不知有罪,燒犯墮。若知燒有罪,故燒犯決斷。與方便破僧同,亦如燒父母。」

Question: "If a Vinaya [text] is not in use and is in decay, may one burn it?" Answer: "One may not. Burning it without knowing it is a transgression constitutes an offence of pātayantika. If one knows that burning it is a transgression and deliberately burns it, it constitutes an offence of defiance of admonition. It is the same as expedient means to cause a schism in the saṅgha, and is also like burning one's parents."
