一三寶境界緣。《僧祇》中為塔事,《四分》中佛法僧事,《五分》亦爾。準此,若為大寺諸處緣者,開之。若自受他雇,畫造像寫經,及自經營佛像,或為俗人,縱為僧家佛事,非法乞求;並是邪命破戒,不成,得罪。

First, circumstances concerning the domain of the Three Jewels: In the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, it is for affairs of a stūpa; in the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya, affairs of the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṃgha; in the Pañcavargika-vinaya, it is also likewise. According to this, if it is for the affairs of a great monastery or various places, it is allowed. If one personally accepts employment from another to paint or craft an image or copy a sūtra, or personally undertakes to produce a Buddha image, or acts for a layperson, even if it is a Buddhist affair of the monastic community, begging for it unlawfully is entirely wrong livelihood and a breach of precepts; [the leave] is not accomplished, and one incurs an offense.
