四分律行事鈔資持記 2.282

2.282

三中，初敘情見。上二句，縱其所知。及下，示其制重。問犯，謂究問教法也。約下，述其愚暗。此有四過：一生厭惡，不欲問故；二無尊重，生輕笑故；三無深信，疑非佛說故；四不正見，怪作是說故。故下，引誡。法師，即論主；將集此戒，故先約勒。文中三，初遮眾情。生下，教觀察。生慚愧者，克己自責也。世間愚人，誰能反照；身行鄙穢，殊不省非；及聞教說，反生驚怪。汝必惡聞，何如不作；汝既自作，何得惡聞。此由不知於大慈門，說毘尼藏，全是指出眾生惡業。若能知業，豈復有教。嗚呼凡愚，迷倒至此。志下，令觀勝境。初觀佛慈；又下，次觀佛德；若下，後觀佛教。有笑，下明立制。

In the third, he first relates emotional views. The upper two lines grant what they know. 'And...' shows the gravity of the prohibition. 'Asking about violations' refers to investigating and inquiring into the teaching. 'In terms of...' recounts their stupidity and ignorance. This has four faults: first, giving rise to aversion, because they do not wish to ask; second, lacking reverence, because they give rise to light laughter; third, lacking deep faith, because they doubt it was spoken by the Buddha; fourth, incorrect views, because they find it strange that such things are said. 'Therefore...' cites the admonition. The Dharma Master is the author of the treatise; about to compile this precept, he first restrains them. In the text there are three parts: first, preventing the feelings of the multitude; 'producing...' second, teaching contemplation. 'Producing shame and remorse' means restraining oneself and blaming oneself. Among worldly fools, who can reflect back on themselves? Their bodily actions are base and vile, yet they do not examine their faults at all; when they hear the teachings, on the contrary they give rise to alarm and surprise. If you must hate hearing it, would it not be better not to do it? Since you do it yourself, how can you hate hearing it? This is because you do not know that out of the gate of great compassion, the Vinaya-piṭaka is preached entirely to point out the evil karma of sentient beings. If they could know karma, how would there still be teachings? Alas, ordinary fools are deluded and inverted to this extent! 'With dedication...' third, directs them to contemplate superior objects: first, contemplate the Buddha's compassion; 'further...' next, contemplate the Buddha's virtues; 'if...' finally, contemplate the Buddha's teachings. 'Having laughter...' below clarifies the establishment of the prohibition.
