四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.537

2.537

初明諸篇覆藏罪。由識知，故隱非；疑不識，則不成覆。垢心既重，豈名為誤。次明諸篇方便。如淫戒，發身欲起，而未動方便；乃至吉羅中，發心欲令身不齊整著三衣等。無問輕重，並須對人；以故發不善心，欲動其身口，並入故作攝。若獨頭吉羅，如眾學百戒，不從諸篇後生者，諸類極多；並有故誤兩犯，亦如前二懺。問：如初篇方便重吉羅，後篇方便輕，云何齊責心一說對人懺？答：罪名自齊，業隨心起；重者重悔，輕者輕治；同篇一處治，故結悔無階降，如卷初述。又云：罪該六聚，名通優劣；心居濃淡，業必重輕；理須別懺，義指為允。

First, explaining concealment offenses in the various classes. Because of knowing awareness, one hides the wrong; if there is doubt and no knowing awareness, then it does not constitute concealment. Since the defiled mind is heavy, how could it be called inadvertence? Next, explaining preliminary actions in the various classes. As with the precept on sexual misconduct, where physical desire arises but before physical preliminary actions are set in motion; down to duṣkṛta, where a thought arises wanting to wear the three robes untidily, etc. Regardless of whether it is light or heavy, all must be done facing another person; because intentionally generating an unwholesome mind and wanting to set body and speech into motion all fall under the category of intentional action. If it is an isolated duṣkṛta, such as the hundred sekhiya rules, which do not arise subsequent to the various classes, there are extremely many such varieties; they all have both intentional and inadvertent offenses, also having two confessions as before. Question: If the preliminary heavy duṣkṛta of the first class is equal in name to the preliminary light [duṣkṛta] of the later classes, why are they equally repented through mental self-reproach or with one recitation facing another person? Answer: The names of the offenses are themselves equal, but karma arises in accordance with the mind; the heavy is repented heavily, the light is treated lightly. Because offenses of the same class are treated in one place, the determination of repentance has no gradations, as described at the beginning of the scroll. Furthermore, it is said: Offenses encompass the six categories, their names covering superior and inferior; the mind abides in deep or shallow, and the karma must be heavy or light; in principle they must be confessed separately, which is the meaning intended as proper.
