四分律行事鈔資持記 1.855

1.855

次科為二，初敘勸。然後下，正說。初中二節，前勸護本體。初舉受隨相須勸；但下，次舉四難勸；故下，三舉上根勸。經論如此者，如〈標宗〉所引勸持等文。必須下，勸修三學。會正即三乘聖道。已外雜學者，謂世俗典籍，醫卜伎藝，皆非本業，故知出家專崇道行。道行雖多，不出三學。如〈沙彌篇〉廣示學本，宜須隱括，取悟於心。下引《律》文，證須當學。至聖乃已，故云長益沙門果也。正說中。但云說相，必兼四依。言依文者，即指《律本》；但文相具委，人多誦之，故略不出。然今備載《隨機羯磨》，須者尋誦，此更不引；寫之甚易，不欲兩繁。既說相已，次說四依。

The next section has two parts: first, stating the exhortation; below "ranhou" (thereafter), the actual exposition. In the first part there are two passages: first, exhorting the protection of the root essence. First, citing the mutual necessity of reception and subsequent practice to exhort; below "dan" (only), next, citing the four difficulties to exhort; below "gu" (hence), third, citing those of superior capacity to exhort. "The sūtras and treatises are like this": like the passages exhorting maintenance and so forth cited in the "Demonstrating the Tenets" chapter. Below "bixu" (must), exhorting the cultivation of the three trainings. Attaining the right means the noble path of the three vehicles. "Miscellaneous learning outside this" refers to secular texts, medicine, divination, and crafts, none of which are the primary undertaking; hence one knows that leaving home is solely to venerate practice of the Way. Although practices of the Way are many, they do not go beyond the three trainings. As the "Śrāmaṇera Chapter" extensively demonstrates the fundamentals of study, one should synthesize them and attain awakening in the mind. Below, a passage of the Vinaya is cited to prove that one must study. Ending only upon reaching the sagely state, it is therefore said to "multiply and increase the fruits of the śramaṇa." Under the actual exposition: simply saying "expounding the marks" necessarily includes the four reliances. The phrase "relying on the text" points to the Vinaya text; however, because the marks in the text are fully detailed and most people recite them, they are briefly omitted. Yet they are now fully recorded in the Karmavācanā for Daily Application; those in need may consult and recite them, so they are not cited again here; copying them is very easy, and I do not wish to cause mutual redundancy. Having expounded the marks, the four reliances are expounded next.
