四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.314

1.314

《大集》云：若末世中有我弟子多財多力，王等不治，則為斷三寶種，奪眾生眼；雖無量世修戒施惠，則為滅失。廣如第二十九卷〈護法品〉說。又云：若犯過比丘應須治者，一月兩月苦使，或不與語，不與共坐，不與共住，或擯令出；或出一國，乃至四國有佛法處。治如是等惡比丘已，諸善比丘安樂受法，故使佛法久住不滅。

The Mahāsaṃnipāta states: 'If in the latter age there are disciples of mine with much wealth and power, and kings and others do not discipline them, then they sever the seed of the three jewels and rob sentient beings of their eyes; though they cultivate the precepts and practice giving for immeasurable kalpas, it will all perish and be lost.' This is explained at length in the 'Chapter on Protecting the Dharma' in the twenty-ninth fascicle. It also says: 'If a bhikṣu who commits a fault ought to be disciplined, he should be subjected to hard labor for one or two months, or not spoken to, or not sat with, or not resided with, or expelled; or expelled from a country, or even from four countries where the Buddhadharma exists. Having disciplined such evil bhikṣus, the wholesome bhikṣus will receive the Dharma in peace and happiness, thereby causing the Buddhadharma to abide long without perishing.'
