四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.364

3.364

出家之人，以身戒心慧為本；不得造經像寺舍等業，錯亂次第。故唯得指授法則，勸化俗人；是以僧有法能造，俗有事能作；終日相由，而執據恒別。若乖法雜亂，失於聖制者，名滅佛法；各住自分，互相資成，是住持之士。

A person who has left household life takes bodily precepts, the mind, and wisdom as his foundation; he must not engage in undertakings such as fabricating scriptures, images, or monastery buildings, which confuses the proper order. Therefore he is only permitted to instruct the rules and exhort laypeople; thus the saṃgha possesses the Dharma to construct, while the laity possesses the material means to act; relying on each other throughout the day, yet their roles remain permanently distinct. If one deviates from the Dharma and creates confusion, losing the sacred ordinances, this is called the destruction of the Buddha's Dharma; when each abides in his own allotment and mutually assists the other, they are scholars who maintain [the Dharma].
