惡性拒僧違諫戒第十三。具五緣:一自身不能離惡,將欲作罪;二諸善比丘如法勸諫;三不受來諫,自恃陵他;四僧如法設諫;五三法竟,犯。此人倚旁略教但自觀身,不須見過;佛令諫之。《多論》問:如經中說,但自觀身行,諦視善不善;今戒文展轉相教,豈非相違?答:佛因時制戒,言乖趣合,不相違背。有六種不同:一前人有愛憎,發言諫有損,故云但自觀身行;若為慈心有利益者,則云共語相諫。二若鈍根無智,則言說無益,便止;若聰智利根,發言有益,便諫。三若少聞見,出言無補便止;若廣聞博見,有所弘益便諫。四若為利養名聞便息;若利安眾生,闡揚佛法便諫。五為現法樂,但欲自攝便止;若欲以化益,使天下同己,則展轉相諫。六若為新出家者,愛戀妻子,便言但自觀身行;若久染佛法,力能兼人,則令展轉相教等。律不犯中:初諫便捨,若非法律;若為無智人訶諫時,語彼言,汝和尚阿闍梨所行亦爾,汝可更學問誦經;若其事實爾,若錯說者,一切不犯。

The thirteenth rule: an intractable disposition, resisting the saṃgha, and violating admonition. Incurred through five conditions: first, oneself being unable to abandon evil and being on the verge of committing an offense; second, good bhikṣus offering exhortation and admonition in accordance with the Dharma; third, not accepting the incoming admonition, and despising others out of self-conceit; fourth, the saṃgha admonishing in accordance with the Dharma; and fifth, completion of the three motions. This person relies on abbreviated teachings, saying, 'One should only watch one's own body, and not look at others' faults'; the Buddha ordered that he be admonished. The Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā asks: 'As stated in the sūtra, "Only observe the actions of your own body, and carefully inspect what is wholesome and unwholesome"; does the present precept text, where they mutually instruct each other, not contradict this?' Answer: 'The Buddha formulated the precepts according to circumstances; the words seem opposed, but their purposes align and do not contradict each other. There are six distinctions: First, if the other person harbors love or hatred, and speaking out in admonition causes harm, he says, "Only observe the actions of your own body"; if it is done with a mind of compassion and brings benefit, he says, "Converse and admonish one another." Second, if someone is dull-witted and lacks wisdom, speaking is useless and one stops; if he is sharp and intelligent, speaking brings benefit and one admonishes. Third, if someone has heard and seen little, speaking provides no remedy and one stops; if he is broadly learned and experienced, and it brings broad benefit, one admonishes. Fourth, if it is for the sake of material gain and renown, one desists; if it benefits and pacifies sentient beings and illuminates the Buddhadharma, one admonishes. Fifth, if it is for dwelling happily in the present phenomena, wanting only to restrain oneself, one stops; if one wishes to benefit through conversion and bring everyone to harmony with oneself, then they mutually admonish one another. Sixth, if it is for a novice home-leaver who still yearns for his wife and children, he says, "Only observe the actions of your own body"; if one has long been steeped in the Buddhadharma and has the strength to guide others, he commands them to mutually instruct one another, and so on.' Among non-offenses in the Vinaya: if upon the initial admonition he renounces it; if it is not in accordance with the Dharma and Vinaya; if when reprimanded and admonished by a foolish person he says to him, 'Your upādhyāya and ācārya also acted thus; you should study, inquire, and recite the sūtras further'—if the matter is truly so, or if it was spoken by mistake, none of this constitutes an offense.
