四分律行事鈔資持記 1.137

1.137

指餘義中。然今此鈔雖並刪略，諸師申釋，未必全非；或義章開其戶牖、或問答釋於幽微，何以此中一概除削。文明此意據合存之；止由難解，不逗新學，故別為一部，目為《義鈔》。文有三卷，下卷已亡；故今所指，彼文多闕。《義鈔》興致，明文在茲；古多妄說，或云二疏之餘、或云二疏張本，如別所破。具云《拾毘尼義鈔》，此中語省，以集字代之；下單云《義鈔》、《別鈔》，皆此例也。文中。通猶容也，餘論即目義解。容彼之說，明其可存。上二句明義之幽隱。自下二句，明不益初心。言通解者，以目博知深識之士。具下，正指彼文。

In pointing to the remaining doctrines: However, although all of them are now deleted and abridged in this manual, the explanations put forward by the various masters are not necessarily entirely incorrect. Some doctrinal chapters opened doorways [of understanding], and some questions and answers resolved subtle obscurities; why then excise them entirely here? The text clarifies that the intention was that they ought to be preserved according to reason; it was solely because they are difficult to understand and not suited to beginners that they were made into a separate work titled the Yichao (Doctrinal Manual). The text has three fascicles, of which the last fascicle has already been lost; therefore, what is pointed to now is largely missing from that text. The occasion for the emergence of the Yichao is clearly written here. Ancients mostly spoke falsely, saying either that it was what remained of the two commentaries, or that it was the draft of the two commentaries, as has been refuted elsewhere. Its full title is Shipi'ni yichao (Abridged Manual of Vinaya Doctrines); here the wording is concise, substituting the character "gather" (集); below, referring simply to Yichao or Biechao (Separate Manual) are all examples of this. In the text: "Accommodate" (通) is like to permit; "other treatises" refers to doctrinal explanations. Permitting their explanations clarifies that they may be preserved. The upper two clauses clarify the profundity and obscurity of the doctrines. The lower two clauses clarify that they do not benefit beginners. "Those of open understanding" refers to scholars of wide learning and deep insight. From "Fully" downward, it directly points to that text.
