注維摩詰經 6.202

6.202

肇曰：將辨大小之殊，故使華若此。生曰：夫制飾華者，本欲除其好情也。苟無情於好飾，終日在己，豈有犯哉？而用神力去華、惡其著身者，蓋託全戒。將明惡必致好，雖欲順律乃反違其意矣。然則以致好之本排之，豈可去乎？故因事以明斯義，理亦如事也。

[Seng]zhao says: Intending to distinguish the difference between the Great and the Small, she caused the flowers to be like this. [Dao]sheng says: The prohibition against adorning with flowers was originally intended to remove feelings of craving. If one has no craving for fine adornments, even if they remain on one's body all day long, how could there be a violation? Yet using supernatural power to remove the flowers, detesting their clinging to the body, was just an attempt to preserve the precepts. It was about to show that detesting something inevitably invites fondness; though wishing to comply with the Vinaya, they instead violated its true spirit. In that case, repelling them with the very root that invites fondness, how could they be removed? Therefore, through this event this principle was clarified; the principle is also like the event.
