四分律行事鈔資持記 1.974

1.974

三中，初敘古，二顯今。初中，先列諸本。齊即南齊蕭子良，生封竟陵王，死諡文宣王。在家布薩者，或五戒八戒，或云菩薩戒；其文已亡，不可尋矣。（或云即《淨住子》二十卷也。）普照，《指歸》云：遍尋傳記，詢訪名公，未知何代人。道安者，晉高僧，製僧尼軌範，為三例：一行香定座上經上講之法，二常日六時行道飲食唱時法，三布薩差使悔過等法，天下寺舍皆準行之；廣敘德業，備如《梁傳》。但下，評量得失；上二句示古差殊，下二句顯今縱奪。意解，即所見也。心相，謂處事也。顯今中。云經意者，語通三藏，皆得名經；下引諸部律文大小經論等。（例如下云：各誦經中清淨偈文，出《僧祇》，即目律為經。）所聞謂世中相傳。重謂對前諸本。撰次即目綴文。

In the third [part], first the ancient is recounted, and second the present is revealed. In the first, the various texts are listed first. 'Qi' refers to Xiao Ziliang of Southern Qi, enfeoffed as Prince of Jingling in life and posthumously titled Prince Wenxuan. His Lay Poṣadha refers either to the five precepts and eight precepts, or to the bodhisattva precepts; its text is already lost and cannot be investigated. (Some say it is the twenty fascicles of Jingzhuzi.) Regarding Puzhao, the Zhigui states: 'Searching through biographies everywhere and inquiring among eminent gentlemen, it is unknown to what era he belonged.' Dao'an was an eminent monk of the Jin dynasty who established regulations for monks and nuns into three categories: (1) the method of offering incense, fixing seats, bringing out sūtras, and ascending the lecture platform; (2) the method of practicing the Path, eating and drinking, and announcing the hours during the six periods of a regular day; (3) the method of poṣadha, dispatching delegates, confessing faults, and so forth; temples throughout the world all followed and practiced them. The extensive account of his virtue and deeds is fully presented in the Liang Biographies. From 'only...' below, merits and defects are evaluated; the upper two lines show the discrepancies of the ancients, and the lower two lines show the acceptance and rejection of the present. 'Conceptual understanding' refers to what is seen. 'Mental disposition' refers to managing matters. In revealing the present: as for saying 'the intent of the scriptures', the word applies broadly across the Tripiṭaka, all of which may be called 'scriptures'; below it cites the vinaya texts, Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna sūtras and treatises of various schools. (For example, below it states: 'Each recites the pure verse text from the sūtra', which comes from the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, thus designating the vinaya as a sūtra.) 'What was heard' refers to what is handed down in the world. 'Anew' is contrasted with the previous texts. 'Compiling' specifically refers to composing the text.
