四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1016

3.1016

次科，初標古非。今下，顯正義。然法多別。自恣僧法，沙彌自恣，大小相對。非時入聚，通告下眾。尼白入寺，則對比丘。《五百問》中。開無本眾，或是不通心念之法。古有所據，故許存之。

In the next heading: the first part indicates the errors of the ancients. From 'Now...' downward reveals the correct meaning. However, the procedures have many distinctions. Pravāraṇā is a monastic transaction of the saṃgha; for the pravāraṇā of śrāmaṇeras, the senior and junior face each other. When entering a village out of season, it is announced generally to the lower assembly. When a bhikṣuṇī announces entering a monastery, she faces a bhikṣu. In the Wubai wen, an exception is made where there is no home community, or it refers to procedures that do not allow mental resolution. Since the ancients had textual basis for this, it is permitted to retain it.
