四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.344

1.344

次明如法僧制。《四分》云：如法僧要隨順。又云：應制而制，是制便行。《五分》中：雖我所制，餘方不行者，不得行之（謂俗王為僧立制，不依經本也）；非我所制，餘方為清淨者，不得不行（即依王法而用，不得不依）。《薩婆多》云：違王制故吉羅。《明了論》云：若僧和合立制，比丘不得入城市。為作此事，必定應作。或時須立此制一月一季，或復永斷。若依《大集》，苦使不得過兩月。《十輪》中：如前明制，或令料理僧事佛法師僧，或不與語，謫令禮拜，或復驅出，如前廣列。《僧祇》中，罰舍利弗日中立之。諸律中制，多用七法，如上所明。或復斷食奪衣令立。治沙彌中，罰令除草，料理僧事等。並非破戒之緣故也。《十誦》云：若僧寺中有制限者。若知有惱自他，力能滅者，白僧滅之；不者，餘處去。若如法制，應受。《四分》：客比丘初至，主人比丘先語僧制法式等。

Next, clarifying lawful monastic regulations: The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya states: One must comply with the lawful saṃgha pacts. It also states: If it should be regulated, regulate it; once regulated, it is put into effect. In the Pañcavargika-vinaya: “Even if it was instituted by me, if it cannot be carried out in other regions, it must not be carried out” (this refers to secular rulers making regulations for the saṃgha that are not based on the canonical texts); “even if it was not instituted by me, if it is considered pure in other regions, it must be carried out” (that is, adopting it in reliance on royal law, one must comply with it). The Sarvāstivāda states: Violating a royal regulation incurs a duṣkṛta. The Vinayavibhāṣā states: If the saṃgha in harmony establishes a regulation that bhikṣus must not enter towns and cities, then in order to carry out this matter, it must definitely be performed. Sometimes it is necessary to establish this regulation for a month or a season, or even permanently. According to the Mahāsaṃnipāta, hard labor must not exceed two months. In the Daśacakra: as explained previously regarding regulations, one may order them to attend to saṃgha affairs, the Buddha's teachings, or master monks; or refrain from speaking with them; or penalize them by ordering prostrations; or expel them, as set forth in detail above. In the Mahāsāṃghika, Śāriputra was penalized by being made to stand at midday. Regulations across the various Vinayas mostly employ the seven methods, as clarified above. Or they cut off food, confiscate robes, or order them to stand. In disciplining śrāmaṇeras, they penalize them by ordering them to clear weeds, attend to saṃgha affairs, and so forth. None of these provide an occasion for breaking the precepts. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: If there are restrictions in a saṃgha monastery, and if one knows they cause distress to oneself or others, and has the power to eliminate them, one should announce it to the saṃgha and abolish them; if not, one should go elsewhere. If it is a lawful regulation, one should accept it. The Dharmaguptaka states: When a visiting bhikṣu first arrives, the host bhikṣu first explains to him the monastic regulations, rules, and procedures.
