四分律行事鈔資持記 3.608

3.608

七中，《智論》。遠離處者，對村聚為名；三里極近，減則不成。指雜行者，論云：得身遠離已，亦當令心遠離五欲五蓋等，及廣明十二上行，尋彼看之。（文見六十七，此間藏經分卷不定。）《四分》。空靜者，就當體為名。若千里者，弓有七尺二寸，百弓七十二丈，五百弓計三百六十丈，六尺為步，六十丈為百步，三百六十丈為六百步，即為二里。中國下，引《十誦》，初示彼土寺法。尼恐陵辱，故須城內。十下，次引證。繞寺虎吼，可驗遠城。千二百步，三百步為里，則四里也。《多論》。一鼓聲間，準〈集僧〉中解，即有二里，頗同《四分》。然諸文不同，宜以本宗為準；如前《智論》，能遠益善。

In the seventh, the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra: 'a secluded place' is named in contrast to villages and settlements; three li is the absolute closest—if less, it does not qualify. Pointing to 'miscellaneous practices': the treatise says, 'Having attained physical seclusion, one should also cause the mind to be secluded from the five desires and five hindrances, and so on,' and extensively explains the twelve ascetic practices; search there to see it. (The text appears in fascicle 67; the fascicle divisions of the canon in this land are not uniform.) The Dharmaguptaka-vinaya: 'empty and quiet' is named with respect to the place itself. As for 'a thousand li': a bow is seven chi and two cun; one hundred bows are seventy-two zhang; five hundred bows make three hundred and sixty zhang; six chi make a pace; sixty zhang make one hundred paces; three hundred and sixty zhang make six hundred paces, which is two li. From 'In central India' onward, citing the Daśādhyāya-vinaya, it first shows the monastery regulations of that land. Fearing outrage and assault, nuns must reside inside the city. From 'Ten' onward, next it cites verification: tigers roaring around the monastery can verify that it is far from the city. 'Twelve hundred paces': three hundred paces make a li, so it is four li. The Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā: 'within the sound of a single drum', according to the explanation in 'Assembling the Saṃgha', is two li, which is quite the same as the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya. However, the various texts differ, so one should take our own school as the standard; as in the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra above, the further away, the better.
