四分律行事鈔資持記 2.460

2.460

不犯中，初引本律，有二，前開誤失。及下，次開看病。以藥食者，因與而死也。往來出入者，《注戒》云：扶將病人，入房往反；此釋濫上扶抱，但上約臥起，下據往還耳；或可約看病者，出入闕事釋之。上引《伽論》，皆結蘭者；若無害心，不合有犯；若有害心，結犯復輕，進退難定。今以義求，但看病者，心有強弱；若懷慈濟，因而致死，如律所開；汎爾為之，不顧得失，失治死者；由本無心，故不結重；近於殺業，緣闕故蘭，思之。一切無害者，上文略舉，此句通收；但約無心，不唯此二。故下，次引俗例。不意而死，謂之過失。以物贖罪，謂之贖刑。注中，上二句，示過誤之相；下二句，明因事而死。舉重者，有所傾壓也。乘高履危，役使於人也。乘，登也。

In non-offense, first the root Vinaya is cited, which has two parts: the former allows for mistakes and accidents. 'And...' below, secondly, allows for nursing the sick. 'By means of medicine and food' means dying as a result of their being given. 'Going and coming, exiting and entering': the Commentary on the Prātimokṣa says: 'supporting the sick person, going back and forth into the room'; this explanation overlaps with supporting and embracing above, but the above concerns lying down and rising, while the below is based on going and returning; or it can be explained in terms of the sick-nurse exiting and entering to attend to matters. In the above citation of the Abhidharma-vibhāṣā-śāstra, all are designated as sthūlātyaya; if there is no harmful intent, there should not be an offense; if there is a harmful intent, the designated offense would be light again, making it difficult to decide whether to advance or retreat. Now seeking by principle: it is simply that the sick-nurse's mind has strong and weak states; if harboring compassionate relief and death results, it is an exception as allowed by the Vinaya; if doing it casually without regard to gain or loss, and they die due to failed treatment, because there was originally no [harmful] intent, it is not designated as major; yet being close to the karma of killing and lacking conditions, it is sthūlātyaya; consider this. 'All who have no intention to harm': the above text briefly listed them, and this sentence universally encompasses them; it is solely based on having no intention, not just these two. 'Therefore...' below, secondly, cites mundane precedents. Dying unexpectedly is called an accident. Redeeming punishment with material goods is called redemption of penalty. In the notes, the first two lines indicate the marks of error and mistake; the lower two lines clarify dying due to circumstances. 'Lifting heavy objects' means something toppling or crushing. 'Climbing high and walking on precarious spots' means making use of people [there]. 'Cheng' means climbing.
