四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.504

1.504

四為求衣鉢乃至藥草，若自病重，不堪受日，聽直去，不須受之，如上安居命難中說。今時有人，為衣藥等，多妄請日。準過知足戒，失三受三，尚結捨墮；今則長財豐足，而缺三衣；此乃捨制取聽，未隨佛化。必長財資具俱乏，準乞衣戒，直爾外乞。藥草等物，亦謂自貧，住處及即日往反處無者，聽；若反上得辨，非緣不成。

Fourth, seeking robes, a bowl, or even medicinal herbs: If one is severely ill oneself and cannot bear taking leave for days, one is permitted to go straightaway without needing to take leave, as explained above under life-threatening dangers during varṣā. Nowadays, there are people who, for the sake of robes, medicine, and the like, often falsely request days. According to the precept against exceeding contentment, forfeiting three and receiving three still incurs a nihsargika-pāyattika; nowadays, extra wealth is abundant while one lacks the three robes; this is relinquishing the prohibition to take the allowance, failing to follow the Buddha's teachings. If one is truly deficient in both extra wealth and material goods, according to the precept on begging for robes, one may simply beg outside. As for medicinal herbs and the like, it also means that one is poor oneself, and the dwelling place as well as places reached by a day's round trip do not have them—then it is permitted; if on the contrary they can be obtained, it is not a valid circumstance and [the leave] is not accomplished.
