仁王般若經疏 3.174

3.174

From "In the future age of the five turbidities" onward is the second [section], which individually sets forth seven specific prohibitions, divided into seven parts: first, that one must not obstruct people from leaving the household life, and so forth; second, that secular officials must not govern the saṅgha; third, that one must not bind or fetter monks; fourth, that one must not expound the sūtras improperly, like worms within the lion's body; fifth, that one must not drive and enslave monks like soldiers and serfs; sixth, clarifying that illicit actions incur guilt and prohibiting them so that they are not committed, since creating offenses oneself ruins the realm; seventh, that one must not rely on the Buddha-Dharma to seek worldly fame and profit. If these seven things are done, one violates the teaching and loses the principle, and proper conduct and righteousness cannot stand. For this reason, the Buddha-Dharma will swiftly perish. Within the first, that one must not obstruct people from leaving the household life, there are two [parts]: first, generally explaining the five turbidities; second, from "monks" downward, individually explaining the seven matters. As for what are called the five turbidities: first is the turbidity of sentient beings; second is the turbidity of lifespan; third is the turbidity of views; fourth is the turbidity of defilements; fifth is the turbidity of the kalpa. Second, from "monks" downward, regarding the individual explanation of the seven matters: first, not allowing [people] to leave the household life; second, not allowing the making of images, and so forth; third, establishing supervisory officials; fourth, setting up registers to record the monks; fifth, that monks must not stand on the ground while laypeople sit on high seats; sixth, that soldiers and serfs must not be made monks; seventh, that they must not accept specific invitations to conduct rituals. When the seven evil practices flourish, the seven correct Dharmas perish.
