四分律行事鈔資持記 1.388

1.388

敘訛中，初敘正教可聞。如來滅度，常光隨息，故曰棲光。但下，次明因人訛替，初六句敘人非。上二句明無志，次二句明無言，下二句明無行。無此三者，未足稱僧；況為師首，輒秉聖法，寧無愧乎；陶，化也。俗風謂世事。由心染世，故情鄙薄；鄙謂下劣，薄即輕浮。礫謂礫石；言喻瓦石，不足貴也。真淨文即羯磨。參即是雜，或約參預秉御，或可增減文句。在三者，謂君父師是人倫之大本，君則義重，父則恩重，師即君父之間；《弘明集》云：君親之義，在三之訓是也。致下一句明法非。事下，明事非。納，入也。竝下，推過，還結三非。雖行眾事，莫知得失，故曰混同。

In narrating corruptions: first, it narrates that the true teaching could once be heard. When the Tathāgata entered extinction, the constant light extinguished along with him; hence it is said 'his light came to rest'. The passage beginning 'However...' next clarifies that corruptions and declines occurred due to persons. The first six clauses narrate the faults of persons: the first two clauses clarify their lack of aspiration; the next two clauses clarify their lack of proper speech; the lower two clauses clarify their lack of proper practice. Lacking these three, one is not yet fit to be called a monk, much less to be a teacher and leader, presumptuously presiding over the noble Dharma—how could one be without shame? 'Moulded' (*tao*) means transformed. 'Secular ways' refers to worldly affairs. Because the mind is stained by the world, their sentiments are base and shallow: 'base' means inferior; 'shallow' means frivolous. 'Gravel' (*li*) refers to gravel and stones; the words are an analogy to tiles and stones, not worthy of value. 'True and pure texts' refers to the karmans. 'Mixed' (*can*) means mingled: either regarding participating in presiding [over the rite], or possibly adding or subtracting text and phrases. 'Those in the three positions' refers to the ruler, the father, and the teacher, who are the great foundations of human relations: with the ruler, righteousness is heavy; with the father, kindness is heavy; the teacher stands between the ruler and the father. The *Hongming ji* states: 'The righteousness of ruler and kin is the instruction on the three positions'—this is it. The single clause beginning 'Resulting in...' clarifies the fault in the legal procedures. The passage beginning 'Matters...' clarifies the fault in matters. 'Admit' (*na*) means to enter. The passage beginning 'Together...' traces the blame, concluding back at the three faults. Although they carry out communal matters, they know nothing of correctness or error; hence it is called 'conflated'.
