四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.468

1.468

如是唱訖，又打靜云：「大德僧聽！此眾小者已收護，未受具已出（誦《四分戒本》不須此言），外清淨大沙門已入；內外寂靜，無諸難事，堪可行籌，廣作布薩。我某甲比丘，為僧行籌，作布薩事；僧當一心念，作布薩。願上中下座，各次第如法受籌。」三說已，云：「并受囑授人籌。」便來至上座前，互跪授之；上座即偏袒互跪合掌；諸僧一時隨上座儀式。上座說偈言：「金剛無礙解脫籌，難得難遇如今果，我今頂戴歡喜受，一切眾生亦如是。」說已受取，兩手擎而頂戴之，或可受已頂戴說偈。彼後收籌者，至上座前，亦同威儀。當還籌時，復說偈言：「具足清淨受此籌，具足清淨還此籌，堅固喜捨無缺犯，一切眾生亦如是。」便還他籌，不得復座，待供養已。如是展轉，乃至大僧訖。收籌者來至上座所，授之；上座取已，便數知之。

Having chanted thus, he strikes the silence-block again and says: 'May the venerable saṃgha listen! The junior-most of this assembly have already collected and guarded; those who have not received full ordination have already left (when chanting the Dharmaguptaka prātimokṣa, these words are not needed); from outside, a pure great śramaṇa has already entered. Inside and outside it is serene and quiet, free from all difficulties, suitable for distributing counters and extensively performing the upoṣadha. I, bhikṣu so-and-so, for the sake of the saṃgha, distribute the counters and perform the affairs of the upoṣadha. May the saṃgha single-mindedly be mindful and perform the upoṣadha. May the senior, middle, and junior elders each in sequence receive the counters according to the Dharma.' Having said this three times, he says: 'Include the counters of those who have entrusted their chanda.' Then he comes before the sthavira, kneels on one knee, and presents them. The sthavira then bares his right shoulder, kneels on one knee, and joins his palms; the monks all simultaneously follow the sthavira's deportment. The sthavira recites the verse: 'The adamantine, unobstructed liberation counters, / difficult to obtain and difficult to encounter, are the fruit today. / I now hold them atop my head and joyfully receive them; / all sentient beings are also like this.' Having spoken, he receives them, holds them aloft with both hands, and places them atop his head; alternatively, having received them, he may place them atop his head and recite the verse. The one who subsequently collects the counters comes before the sthavira and also observes the same īryāpatha. When returning the counters, he recites the verse again: 'Fully pure, I received this counter; / fully pure, I return this counter. / Firm in joyful equanimity without deficiency or transgression, / all sentient beings are also like this.' Then he returns the counters to him. He must not return to his seat, but wait until the offering is completed. In this manner it proceeds in turn until the bhikṣus are finished. The one who collected the counters comes to the sthavira's place and hands them over; having taken them, the sthavira counts and knows their number.
