四分律行事鈔資持記 1.1069

1.1069

三中。向僧懺悔，即作念陳露也；或可輕罪責心即滅。三說者，謂作法布薩也。廣誦戒者，識知持犯也。然非教制，本不須誦；以前作法，即成說戒；不同僧法白告和僧，非陳淨故。心念既爾；前對首中，殘及重蘭，例開發露，如〈自恣〉中。

In the third, confessing before the Saṅgha means revealing through mental reflection; alternatively, light offenses are eradicated through mental reproof. "Three proclamations" refers to performing the poṣadha rite. "Reciting the precepts extensively" means recognizing and knowing maintenance and violation. However, it is not an injunction of the teaching, and originally one need not recite them; because the prior performance of the rite already constitutes the poṣadha recitation; unlike the Saṅgha procedure where a motion addresses the harmonious Saṅgha, it is not an expression of purity. Since this is so for mental [poṣadha], in the previous face-to-face [declaration], saṃghāvaśeṣa and serious sthūlātyaya offenses are similarly permitted to be revealed, as in the "Pravāraṇā" [chapter].
