四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.52

2.52

四明發戒多少。略如上明。今又述者，以世俗多迷，故廣銓敘，意存識相知法，自濟兼人故也。然所發戒數，隨境無量。要而言之，不過情與非情，有無二諦，攝相皆盡，任境而彰。略說則地水火風空識等界，及色聲香味觸等五塵；乃至過未三世，法界等法；及六趣眾生，趣外中陰，四生，亦發得戒。

Fourth, explaining the quantity of precepts generated. This was briefly clarified above. Now it is set forth again because worldly people are often confused, and so it is expounded at length, with the intent of recognizing the characteristics and knowing the principles, so as to rescue oneself as well as others. The number of precepts generated is immeasurable according to the objects. To state the essentials, they do not exceed the sentient and the non-sentient, or the two truths of existence and non-existence, which encompass all characteristics completely and become manifest according to the objects. To speak briefly, they are the realms of earth, water, fire, wind, space, and consciousness, and the five dusts of form, sound, smell, taste, and touch; up to the three periods of past, future, and present, and phenomena such as the realm of phenomena (dharmadhātu); as well as the sentient beings of the six destinies, the intermediate state (antarābhava) outside the destinies, and the four modes of birth—from all of these, one also generates and obtains the precepts.
