四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.181

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.181](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.181)

釋名者。凡言欲者，多以希須為義。欲明僧作法事，意決同集，但由緣差，不遂情願。令送心達僧，知無違背。故《摩得伽》云：云何名欲？欲者，所作事樂隨喜，共同如法僧事。《十誦》云：欲名發心。如法僧事與欲，名為欲法。

> Regarding the explanation of the name: whenever one speaks of chanda, it mostly takes the meaning of wishing or needing. It clarifies that when the saṃgha performs a legal act, one's intention is resolutely to assemble together, but owing to conflicting circumstances, one's wish cannot be fulfilled. One is made to send one's mental intent to the saṃgha, letting them know there is no contrariety. Therefore the Mātṛkā states: 'What is called chanda? Chanda means joyfully rejoicing in the affair being undertaken and sharing together in the legal business of the saṃgha.' The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: 'Chanda means generating the mind. Granting chanda for the legal business of the saṃgha is called the procedure of chanda.'
