四分律行事鈔資持記 2.798

2.798

次科，斥濫中，先敘貪畜之意。內即是志，外謂為行。不思聖誡即慢法，縱貪癡是自任。故下，引證；初引本律，準明失戒。非弟子者，不稟師教故；非沙門者，不修淨行故；非釋子者，不係聖族故；今多受畜，為教所揀。雖自剃染，即魔外之徒。又云下，佛告珠髻大臣之詞。次引《雜含》。以五欲法，非善功德，復非清淨。今畜財寶，正是順欲；若許受畜，反成功德，亦應清淨。此顯出家絕欲求道。反為欲縛，深非所宜；後引《增一》。彼云梵志超術，欲以金錢奉定光佛；自念我有書名《禮記》云：若是如來，必不受金寶；遂易蓮華五莖，用上彼佛。（釋迦因行，從此獲記。）故下，結示引意。前文敘誡，並據誠教，故云非濫。

In the next section, reprimanding abuses: First, it describes the intention of coveting and keeping. Within is the intention, without is the conduct. Not reflecting on the noble admonitions is disrespecting the Dharma; indulging greed and ignorance is being self-indulgent. Hence below, it cites proofs. First, it cites the root Vinaya, demonstrating the loss of precepts accordingly: 'Not a disciple' means not receiving the teacher's instruction; 'not a samaṇa' means not cultivating pure conduct; 'not a son of the Śākyas' means not belonging to the noble lineage. Nowadays, many receive and keep [wealth], which is rejected by the teachings; though they shave their heads and dye their robes, they are disciples of Māra and non-Buddhists. Below, 'further says' quotes the Buddha's words to the minister Maṇicūḍa. Next, it cites the Saṃyuktāgama: The five desires are not wholesome merits, nor are they pure. Now keeping wealth and precious substances is precisely following desire; if receiving and keeping them were permitted, they would conversely become merits and should also be pure. This shows that leaving home is about severing desires to seek the Path; to be bound by desires instead is deeply improper. Afterwards, it cites the Ekottarikāgama: There it says that the brahmadatta Chaoshu wished to offer gold coins to Dīpaṅkara Buddha; he reflected to himself, 'I have a book titled the Book of Rites which says: If one is a Tathāgata, he will certainly not receive gold or precious items'; thereupon he exchanged them for five stalks of lotus flowers to offer to that Buddha. (Śākyamuni's causal practices obtained the prophecy from this.) Hence below, it concludes by showing the intention behind citing these. The previous text's accounts of admonitions are all based on sincere teachings, hence it says 'not an abuse'.
