四分律行事鈔資持記 1.824

1.824

三中。《四分》難緣，開多人受；《僧祇》、《善見》，乃是常開。今時行事，不須執難。八難餘緣，後篇委列，故略指之。《僧祇》中。因波離有二沙彌，欲令並受；白佛因開，文引佛答。一眾，謂二師外兼餘教證，共十人也。並受字下，彼云不得眾受，今此略之。若下，遮非。彼云二三人共一羯磨師，別和尚，共一眾受，不名受具足。比今所引，少有不次。《善見》中。不相禮者，謂不互禮，應得對禮。

In the third: The Dharmaguptaka-vinaya makes an exception for multiple persons receiving together in cases of difficult circumstances; the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya and Samantapāsādikā allow it as a standard exception. When conducting transactions nowadays, one should not insist on difficult circumstances. The eight difficulties and other circumstances are listed in detail in a later chapter, so they are only briefly indicated here. In the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya: Because Upāli had two śrāmaṇeras and wished to have them receive together, he addressed the Buddha, who consequently allowed it; the text cites the Buddha's answer. 'One assembly' refers to ten persons in total, including other instructing witnesses besides the two masters. Below the words 'receiving together', that text says 'they may not receive in a group', which is omitted here. From 'if' downwards, it excludes invalidity. That text says if two or three persons share one karmadāna master, have separate upādhyāyas, and receive together in one assembly, it is not called receiving full ordination. Compared to what is cited now, there is a slight difference in order. In the Samantapāsādikā: 'Not bowing to each other' means they do not bow reciprocally; they should bow facing each other.
