四分律行事鈔資持記 1.631

1.631

不見舉中。佛在拘睒彌國，闡陀比丘犯罪，餘比丘語言汝犯罪見不？答言不見，比丘舉過，佛因訶制。出過有二，初即倒亂。或下，二明信壞。但是作惡不畏來報，即為邪見；非同斷善，頓棄三寶而失戒矣。或由下二句，推上過源。僧下，示其拒逆。邪見在懷，非言不顯；故假問答，為舉本緣。僧即下，次加治法；初明加法。白云：大德僧聽！此闡陀比丘犯罪，餘比丘語言汝犯罪見不？答言不見；若僧時到僧忍聽，今為闡陀比丘作不見罪舉羯磨，白如是。（羯磨例準。）奪行等並同。為下，二明舉意。且謂權暫，簡滅擯永棄故。作下，示名義。如物舉棄，不復用故。

In [the section on] suspension for not seeing [one's offense]: The Buddha was in the country of Kauśāmbī. The bhikṣu Channa committed an offense. Other bhikṣus said to him, 'You committed an offense; do you see it or not?' He replied, 'I do not see it.' The bhikṣus brought up the fault, and the Buddha, because of this, reproved him and instituted the rule. In explaining the fault, there are two parts: first is disorder. 'Or...' below secondly clarifies the destruction of faith. Merely doing evil without fearing future retribution constitutes wrong view; it is not the same as severing wholesome roots, abruptly abandoning the Triratna, and losing the precepts. The two sentences beginning with 'Or because...' trace the source of the fault above. 'The Saṃgha...' below demonstrates his defiance. When wrong views dwell in the breast, they are not manifest without speech; thus, relying on question and answer serves as the root condition for the suspension. 'The Saṃgha then...' below next introduces the disciplinary procedure; first, it clarifies the procedure to be imposed. The motion states: 'May the venerable Saṃgha listen! This bhikṣu Channa committed an offense; other bhikṣus said to him, "You committed an offense; do you see it or not?" He replied, "I do not see it." If the time has arrived for the Saṃgha, may the Saṃgha give consent to now carry out the suspension for not seeing the offense (āpattāv adarśane utkṣepana-karman) for the bhikṣu Channa. Such is the motion.' (The karmavācanā follows the same paradigm.) Deprivations of practices and the rest are all identical. 'For...' below secondly clarifies the intention of the suspension. It is temporarily provisional, distinguishing it from expulsion (pravājanīya) which is permanent abandonment. 'Carrying out...' below shows the name and meaning. Like an object picked up and cast aside, it is no longer used.
