四分律行事鈔資持記 3.711

3.711

四中，《五百問》有五事，初審施物。作佛物，即今彫畫佛像之家，兼通道俗。若先下，次明賽願。謂施家力所不及，欲以三遍行香，三迴施物，即當三會；以違本心，故云不了。若下，三受神食。《鬼子母經》云：佛遊大兜國，有一母性惡，常盜人子；佛為說法，告云：從是已去，止佛精舍邊；人民無子者，來求當與；今或有人設食，持施比丘也。呪願，即為施主求願也，廣在第六。沽下，四擇施家。屠沽之家，由涉譏疑，不令輒入。前制餘時，故云一切。餘門得者，必約有緣。請僧設食，令彼持戒停業，方便接引故也。若共下，五開同師坐。

In the fourth [heading], the Wubai wen contains five matters. The first is examining the offered items. 'Those who make Buddha-objects' refers to present-day artisans who carve or paint Buddha images, encompassing both monastics and laypeople. From 'If previously...' onward, the second explains fulfilling vows. This refers to a donor household whose capacity is insufficient and who wishes to circumambulate incense three times and transfer the offered items three times, making that serve as three gatherings; because this contradicts their original intention, it is called 'unfulfilled.' From 'If...' onward, the third is accepting offerings for spirits. The Hārītī Sūtra states: When the Buddha was traveling in the country of Dadu, there was a woman by nature evil who constantly stole people's children. The Buddha preached the Dharma to her and told her: 'From now on, dwell beside the Buddha's vihāra. When people who have no children come to pray, you shall grant them; now whenever people prepare food, they offer it to the bhikṣus.' Wishing vows (呪願) means seeking blessings on behalf of the donor; this is detailed in the sixth section. From 'Wine shops...' onward, the fourth is selecting donor households. Butchers and liquor shops arouse suspicion and criticism, so monks are not permitted to enter them rashly. Since other times were prohibited previously, it says 'all.' That other [butcher/tavern] doors may be entered must depend on there being a valid reason: inviting the saṃgha to provide food, causing them to observe the precepts and suspend their trade, which serves as an expedient means to guide them. From 'If together...' onward, the fifth permits sitting with one's fellow disciple.
