四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.422

2.422

何名方便？以上三緣，將至果處，或為七緣阻礙不成，故是根本家方便（七緣義如後說）。若無七緣，並入果本。本相如何？謂入如毛頭名淫，舉離本處名盜，斷其命根名殺，言章了知名妄。如是〈隨相〉已明。若結罪之時，並攬前因，共成一果；不同他部，因成果已，更有本時方便。何者後方便？謂所造事，暢決稱懷；發喜前心，未思悔改；復結其罪，通得吉羅。

Why are they called preliminary expedients? Because through the three conditions above, one is about to reach the fruition, but is obstructed by the seven conditions and fails to accomplish it; hence they are preliminary expedients belonging to the primary [offense] (the meaning of the seven conditions is as explained below). If there are no seven conditions, they all enter into the primary fruition. What is the nature of the primary [offense]? Penetration to the extent of a hair's tip is called unchastity; lifting and removing from its original place is called stealing; severing the life-faculty is called killing; and words being clearly understood is called false speech. These have already been clarified in the chapter 'According to the Manifestations'. When the offense is established, it brings together the preceding causes to jointly form a single fruit; unlike other schools, where after the cause forms the fruit, there are further preliminary expedients of that original time. What is the subsequent preliminary expedient? It means that the action carried out has been completed according to one's desire; one gives rise to joy regarding the preceding intention without thinking of repenting and reforming; the offense is established again, universally incurring a duṣkṛta.
