四分律行事鈔資持記 2.146

2.146

四中。前引諸殺，而局善釋，於義未盡；是故鈔主以義繼之，故曰因明。名義兩通，故曰正義。初句示名不局；戒言性者，借訓顯義，勿滯《字書》。惡律儀，亦名惡戒；屠兒獵師旃陀羅輩，常行殺害，名受惡戒，持惡律儀。問：如何受耶？答：以殺為業，發意受行，即為受也；如《雜心》說，順惡易成，不假緣發；但望殺心，遍該生類，故名律儀；隨殺生命，即為持戒。不律儀者，非善故言不，類通故言律儀；即惡律儀，所出異耳。若此下，釋義，初二句通示。戒以性名，性通三性；且論善惡，互不相容，各得禁義。惡下，別釋，初明惡戒。通禁制止名律，造作有相名儀。若下，明善戒。令反解者，但應回倒善惡二字，改樂殺為慈護，即可見矣。

In the fourth: Previously, various killings were cited, yet narrowing it to an explanation of the wholesome does not exhaust the meaning; therefore, the author of the Manual continued it with reason, hence it says "arising from reason." The name and meaning both apply, hence it says "correct meaning." The first sentence indicates that the name is not restricted; in calling the precept "nature," a gloss is borrowed to manifest the meaning—do not be bound by character books. Bad conduct (duścarita-saṃvara) is also called bad precepts; butchers, hunters, caṇḍālas, and the like, who constantly commit slaughter, are said to receive bad precepts and maintain bad conduct. Question: How are they received? Answer: Taking killing as one's livelihood and giving rise to the intent to undertake and practice it is receiving them; as the *Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya* says, conforming to evil is easily accomplished and does not depend on conditions to arise; merely with respect to the mind to kill universally encompassing sentient beings, it is called conduct (*saṃvara*); whenever one kills life, that is maintaining the precepts. Non-conduct (*asaṃvara*) is called "non-" because it is not good, and called "conduct" because it universally pervades categories; it is bad conduct under a different origin. "If this..." below explains the meaning: the first two sentences generally indicate it. Precepts are named by nature, and nature extends through the three natures; here discussing good and evil, they are mutually incompatible, and each obtains the meaning of prohibition. "Evil..." below explains individually: first, it clarifies bad precepts. Universal restriction and prohibition is called *lu* (rule/vinaya), and action with marks is called *yi* (deportment/conduct). "If..." below clarifies wholesome precepts. Causing one to understand in reverse simply requires transposing the two characters "good" and "evil," and changing "delighting in killing" to "compassionate protection," then it can be seen.
