四分律行事鈔資持記 1.1121

1.1121

次詳定中，初科，初句牒前。從下，正斷為二；初明求處，約心以明成破。若得下，二明得處，約緣以辨通塞。法隨身者，處有前後，法仍相續故。出界便破者，亦據越宿。結成後去者，法既隨身，不必作法；但望所至之處，立心止住，名為結耳。須緣及法者，緣即難事，法謂受日；反無緣法，破夏何疑。

Next, in detailed determination, in the first heading, the first phrase refers to the preceding. From 'from...' downward, it formally decides two points: first, it clarifies seeking a place, clarifying completion or breaking with respect to the mind. Under 'if one finds...', second, it clarifies finding a place, distinguishing between open and blocked with respect to circumstances. 'The Dharma follows the body' means that though places differ in sequence, the Dharma remains continuous. 'Leaving the boundary immediately breaks it' also refers to staying overnight. 'Going after it is completed' means that since the Dharma follows the body, one does not necessarily perform a ritual procedure; merely directing one's mind toward the place reached and resolving to abide there is called establishing it. 'Needing circumstances and ritual' means circumstances are the difficulty, and ritual means receiving days; conversely, lacking circumstances and ritual, how could there be any doubt of breaking the retreat?
