四分律行事鈔資持記 1.906

1.906

《十誦》，初明弟子勤勞。先脚至上，浴法須爾。病用物者，謂藥餌之資。日下，明師攝濟。惡知識者，順己欲情，染習易故；最不可近，故切訓之。一壞名聞，二障學業，三喪德行，四失正信，五伐善根，六墮惡道。近善知識，反上可知。《智論》云：隨逐惡者，皆由無智。古儒云：見賢思齊，見不賢而內自省。《成論》四輪：一住善處，二依善人，三發正願，四植善根。況今末劫，人非上智；志性無定，好惡隨緣；凡在學流，切宜擇善；因茲言及，聞者三思。佛所歎者，看病福勝，如下卷引。

In the Daśādhyāya-vinaya, it first clarifies the disciple's diligence. From the feet first to the top: the bathing method must be like this. 'Things used for illness' refers to provisions of medicines and nutrition. From 'daily...' downward, it explains the master's sheltering and aiding. 'Bad companions' indulge one's desires and emotions, making habituation easy; because they must least of all be approached, he urgently instructs him [against them]. First, they ruin one's good reputation; second, they obstruct one's studies; third, they destroy one's virtuous conduct; fourth, they lose one's correct faith; fifth, they cut off one's roots of goodness; sixth, they lead to falling into the evil destinies. Approaching good friends is the opposite of the above, which is understandable. The Mahāprajñāpāramitōpadeśa states: 'Following after evil persons is entirely due to a lack of wisdom.' The ancient Confucians said: 'When you see a worthy person, think of equaling him; when you see an unworthy person, introspect within yourself.' The Tattvasiddhi-śāstra speaks of four wheels: 1. dwelling in a good place; 2. relying on good persons; 3. generating correct vows; 4. planting roots of goodness. How much more so in this final era, when people are not of superior wisdom; their aspirations and natures are unfixed, and their likes and dislikes follow conditions. All who are in the stream of study should urgently choose the good; because this was mentioned here, let those who hear it reflect on it three times. What the Buddha praised is the superior merit of nursing the sick, as cited in the lower fascicle.
