四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.286

3.286

《薩婆多》：若檀越欲作大房舍，應開解示語，令小作，順少欲法；若為容多人故作者，不應違意。《四分》：不得將世俗呪術教化。當語云：莫向如來塔大小便，及除糞掃盪器不淨水等；若起房舍，及耕田種作，當向如來塔。又宜於八日十四日、十五日，入塔寺供養比丘僧，受齋法。佛告檀越，若人慈心，以米泔汁、盪滌汁，棄著不淨蟲水中，使蟲得此食氣，得無量福，況復與人。《智論》：佛申鉢受老母臭澱汁。佛受億耳羹殘，度與頻婆娑羅王。《善見》：不得受白衣使；若令禮佛、讀經、呪願、集眾，種種善事，不犯；餘惡使者，吉羅。

The Sarvāstivāda states: If a dānapati wishes to build a large dwelling, one should instruct and guide him to make it small, in accord with the Dharma of having few desires; but if it is built to accommodate many people, one should not oppose his intention. The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya states: One must not instruct and convert using worldly magical incantations. One should say: 'Do not defecate or urinate facing the Tathāgata's stūpa, nor carry away dung, sweeping refuse, or washing-vessel dirty water facing it; if building houses, plowing fields, or planting crops, one should face toward the Tathāgata's stūpa.' Furthermore, on the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days, one should enter the stūpas and monasteries to make offerings to the bhikṣu-saṃgha and receive the observance method. The Buddha told the dānapatis: 'If a person, with a compassionate mind, casts rice washings or rinsing water into water with unclean insects so that the insects get the scent of this food, he obtains immeasurable merit, how much more so if giving to human beings!' The Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra states: The Buddha extended his bowl to receive the foul dregs of an old mother. The Buddha received the leftover soup from Śroṇa and gave it to King Bimbisāra. The Samantapāsādikā states: One must not accept errands from laypeople; if they instruct one to pay homage to the Buddha, recite sūtras, make aspirational incantations, assemble the congregation, or perform various good deeds, there is no offense; for other, bad errands, it is a duṣkṛta.
