四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1550

2.1550

對行中。五夏離師，此據教限；若約成行，至聖乃已；雖非違教，非不違行。文中，初標。恐下，次釋，初敘立。逸蕩是縱放。自持齊聖即貢高。優劣，不限夏數，但優於己；遞互相師，故云相降。文下，引證。亦出受法。依止須具三德，一滿十夏，二有智慧，三勤教授。至法身者，不必一形。況復如來以法為師；自餘凡愚，豈能自立！

In relation to practice: leaving the teacher after five rains retreats is based on the doctrinal limit; if considered in terms of accomplishing practice, one does so only upon reaching sagehood; although not violating the teaching, it does not fail to violate practice. In the text, first the heading. From 'fearing' below, next the explanation: first, recounting its establishment. 'Unrestrained' means licentious and undisciplined. 'Equating oneself with sages in self-restraint' means haughty arrogance. 'Superior and inferior' is not limited by the number of rains retreats, but merely being superior to oneself; taking one another mutually as teachers, it is therefore said 'yielding to each other'. From 'text' below, citing verification; this also comes from the reception procedure. Dependence requires possessing three virtues: first, completing ten rains retreats; second, having wisdom; third, being diligent in instruction. Reaching the Dharmakāya need not be confined to a single lifetime. Moreover, even the Tathāgata takes the Dharma as his teacher; how could any ordinary fool stand on his own!
