四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1004

3.1004

十數中。第一但出外計。《業疏》續云：佛法不爾，身假食資。食取濟形，道取濟神。故假形食，緣修道行。至論道也，要修離著為本；不識道元，乃以斷食為道，故須破之。

Under the ten numbers: The first merely presents the heterodox view. The *Karma Commentary* continues: 'The Buddha-Dharma is not like this. The body relies on food for support. Food is taken to succor the body; the path is taken to succor the spirit. Therefore, relying on the physical food, one cultivates the practice of the path through external conditions. As for discussing the path, cultivating detachment from clinging is essential; failing to understand the source of the path, they take fasting to be the path, which must therefore be refuted.'
