四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1094

3.1094

第一百十四紡績戒。（佛在舍衛，六群尼自手紡績，居士笑言，如我婦無異，白佛因制。）若比丘尼自手紡績者，波逸提。擗，謂分擗；引即牽引；縈，謂卷絡；織則可會；四事隨作，皆犯墮。恐謂懺竟得著，故制不合；隨著，吉羅。今時尼女，機織刺繡，以為事業。棄親入道，本圖何事？若此出家，何如在俗！避溺投火，即斯人矣。

The one hundred and fourteenth is the spinning and weaving precept. (The Buddha was in Śrāvastī. The bhikṣuṇīs of the group of six spun and wove with their own hands. A householder laughed and said, 'They are no different from my wife.' They reported this to the Buddha, who instituted the precept on this account.) If a bhikṣuṇī spins or weaves with her own hands, it is a pāyattika. 'Tear' means separating fibers; 'draw' means pulling out thread; 'reel' means winding onto spools; 'weave' is understandable; doing any of these four constitutes a pāyattika. Fearing that one might think it permissible to wear [the cloth] after confession, it is prohibited as unfit; wearing it incurs a duṣkṛta. Nowadays, nuns make loom-weaving and embroidery their occupation. Abandoning kin to enter the path, what was originally sought? If one leaves the household like this, how is it better than remaining in the secular world! Avoiding drowning only to leap into the fire—such are these people.
