四分律行事鈔資持記 3.591

3.591

三中。彼經云：佛告迦葉，周那沙彌拾糞掃中物，至阿耨達池浣洗；諸天皆遙為作禮，取其浣汁，以自沐浴（《業疏》云：由心清淨故。）；外道持淨㲲，次後將洗；諸天遙遮，勿污池也。（疏云：由邪命得，體不淨故。）然此糞衣，竝是世人所棄，零碎布帛；收拾鬪綴，以為法衣；欲令節儉，少欲省事；一納之外，更無餘物。今時禪眾，多作納衫，而非法服；裁剪繒綵，刺綴花紋，號山水納，價直數千；更乃各鬪新奇，全乖節儉；經年製造，虛廢時功；法逐時訛，道隨事喪。是則妄稱上行，濫預頭陀。有識之流，幸宜極誡。

In the third: that sūtra says that the Buddha told Kāśyapa that the śrāmaṇera Cunda gathered scraps from among dung heaps and went to Lake Anavatapta to wash them; the devas all bowed to him from afar and took his wash-water to bathe themselves (the Karma Commentary says: "Because his mind was pure"); afterward, a non-Buddhist holding clean white cotton cloth was about to wash it; the devas barred him from afar: "Do not defile the lake!" (The Commentary says: "Because it was obtained through wrong livelihood, its substance was impure.") However, these rag robes are all discarded, fragmented pieces of cloth from worldly people, gathered and sewn together to make Dharma robes, in order to promote thrift, few desires, and fewer affairs; apart from this one quilted robe, there are no other possessions. Nowadays, the Chan crowd often makes patchwork gowns that are not Dharma robes; they cut up fine silks and embroider decorative patterns, calling them "landscape robes" and pricing them at several thousand [coins]; furthermore, they compete with one another in novelty, utterly violating thrift; manufacturing them over the years, they waste their time and effort in vain. As the Dharma degenerates with the times, the Path is lost along with secular affairs. This is falsely claiming superior practice and inappropriately presuming to be a dhūta. May those with discernment take this as a grave warning!
