四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.431

2.431

七進趣正果。若住，即成方便。相有四分：一由法隔故為方便。一切諸諫戒，初白竟捨；遂諫故止，不成果用。二懈怠息。欲造前事，緣壞離阻；或復強盛，不可侵陵，停廢本心。三好心息。謂將造過，忽憶受體；恐污願求，對治防遏，令惡不續故也。四心疑故息。不同想心，以至果故。今此疑者，起心當人，疑是非人；疑心不決，恐殺非人，遂即停止故也。

Seventh: proceeding to the primary result. If one halts, it only constitutes an expedient. The marks have four divisions: First, halting as an expedient due to being blocked by the Dharma. For all the admonition precepts, upon the completion of the first formal motion one relinquishes [the offense]; because of the admonition one halts, so it does not result in the actualized fruition. Second, ceasing due to laxity. When intending to perform the previous deed, conditions break apart and obstruct it, or the other party is strong and cannot be violated, so one abandons the original intent. Third, ceasing out of a good mind. That is, when about to commit a transgression, one suddenly remembers the precept essence; fearing it will defile one's aspiration, one applies the antidote to prevent and check it, causing the evil not to continue. Fourth, ceasing because the mind doubts. This is not like a state of mistaken ideation, which proceeds to the fruition. Here, one who doubts gives rise to a mind directed toward a person, but doubts whether it is a non-human; with an unresolved doubt, fearing one might kill a non-human, one thereupon halts.
