四分律行事鈔資持記 3.532

3.532

對即能受之人，通於五眾；施謂所受之物，總彼四事。興治即能觀之智，三毒是所治之過。然出家閑曠，不治田蠶；四事資緣，率由信施。且身衣口食，無時不須；必能隨事對治，則出生世善；厥或恣情貪染，則墜陷冥途。尋此一門，極為心要；自非負卓拔之識，標出離之懷；則對面千山，咫尺萬里也。

"Counteracting" refers to the person who can receive, applying generally to the five assemblies; "offerings" refers to the articles received, encompassing the four requisites. "Arousing counteraction" is the wisdom that can contemplate, while the three poisons are the faults to be counteracted. Now, those who have left household life live in leisure and vastness, not engaging in farming or sericulture; the supporting conditions of the four requisites depend entirely on gifts of faith. Moreover, clothing for the body and food for the mouth are never not needed; if one can counteract [attachment] according to circumstances, one will give rise to supramundane goodness; but if one indulges desires in greed and defilement, one will sink down into the dark paths. In examining this single gate, it is exceedingly essential; unless one possesses lofty and preeminent discernment and upholds the intention of transcendence, then though facing each other across a thousand mountains, a mere foot's length becomes ten thousand leagues.
