四分律行事鈔資持記 1.655

1.655

引古中，即裕師寺誥文為二；初明立寺之意又三，初敘道通。為待下，明事通。無下，釋上兩通。然律中亦有主客相待者，且約住者有新舊，強分主客。若論道事，必無彼此；僧理者，若約理和，即是真理；若論事和，止是道理。平等即和也。故下，次正明飲食之制；先敘義通。如法謂出家五眾，體相無虧；及時，即中前而至。然下，次明用與。任道者，任謂荷任，即命眾主。

In citing the ancients, namely Master Yu's "Monastery Proclamation," there are two parts: first, clarifying the intention of establishing a monastery, which again has three parts: first, recounting the universality of the Way. From "to receive" onward, clarifying the universality of affairs. From "without" onward, explaining the above two universalities. However, in the Vinaya there is also the mutual treatment of host and guest; this is merely based on residents having the new and the old, arbitrarily dividing host and guest. If discussing the Way and affairs, there is certainly no self and other. As for "the principle of the Saṃgha": if understood in terms of harmony in principle, it is the ultimate truth; if discussed in terms of harmony in affairs, it is simply reasonable principle. Equality is harmony. From "therefore" onward, next it directly clarifies the regulations of drink and food: first, recounting the universality of meaning. "Accordance with the Dharma" refers to the five ordained groups whose substance and marks are uncompromised; "in time" means arriving before noon. From "however" onward, next clarifying usage and giving. "Taking charge of the Way": "taking charge" means bearing responsibility, which designates the master of the assembly.
