四分律行事鈔資持記 1.597

1.597

《四分》中。若準緣起，止因鬪諍；文明四事，本出遮法耳。總列中，初二句標簡。須對道眾；又但口說，未必身行，故加此罰。謂下，列示。戒見儀命，佛法大綱，修行要務；四皆名正，俱離偏邪；正戒是入道之基，正見乃絕縛之慧，正儀則攝物之相，正命為成道之緣。今皆反倒，惑亂時心；約過驗情，宜加苦罰。一令犯者改迹，二使外化清正；設教之意，於斯明矣。戒儀二事，七聚分配，且約麁細從別以論；若就通明，七皆名戒；亦總名儀。六十二見者，且約五蘊，逐蘊生計，則有四句：一即色是我；二離色是我；三我大色小，色在我中；四色大我小，我在色中；餘四例此，一蘊有四，四五二十；復歷三世，為六十；更加斷常，則六十二。邪意者，專為求利，致使身口變現無窮；且據喜為，何止四五。

In the Dharmaguptaka: if judged by the origin story, it was merely due to dispute; the text clearly mentions four matters, which fundamentally belong to prohibitive rules. In the general list, the first two sentences identify and delimit [the scope]. It must be done facing the monastic assembly; moreover, it may be merely spoken with the mouth and not necessarily carried out with the body, hence this punishment is imposed. In "meaning...", it lists and shows them. Precepts, view, deportment, and livelihood are the grand guidelines of the Buddha-dharma and essential tasks of cultivation; all four are termed "right" and are free of deviation; right precepts are the foundation for entering the Way, right view is the wisdom that cuts off bonds, right deportment is the outward mark that attracts beings, and right livelihood is the condition for realizing the Way. Now all of these are inverted, bewildering the minds of the times; assessing their feelings based on their offenses, harsh punishments should properly be imposed. First, it causes the offender to reform their conduct; second, it makes the external teaching pure and upright; the Buddha's intention in establishing the teachings is made plain here. The two matters of precepts and deportment are assigned among the seven categories [of offenses], discussed distinctively based on coarse and fine; if explained generally, all seven are termed precepts and all are collectively termed deportment. As for the sixty-two views, calculating according to the five aggregates and generating views for each aggregate, there are four propositions: first, form is the self; second, the self is separate from form; third, the self is large and form is small, with form inside the self; fourth, form is large and the self is small, with the self inside form. The other four [aggregates] follow this pattern: four propositions per aggregate, four times five is twenty; applying them across the three periods of time makes sixty; adding annihilationism and eternalism makes sixty-two. "Evil intent" means acting solely to seek profit, resulting in endless transformations in body and speech; considering what one delights in doing, how could there be only four or five?
