四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1301

2.1301

In the non-offenses: the first two lines generally indicate [them]. From "that..." onward, they are listed individually, corresponding to the previous six matters to clarify the marks of exemption. First, "reaching the time of birth" exempts the first. From "if truly without..." onward is the second. From "if the true age..." onward combines the clarification of the third and fourth. The note decides that regarding re-reception, one must first investigate and examine. Those receiving [the precepts] at the present time often have insufficient years; the ten masters are ignorant in their instructions and unable to guide and teach them; after descending from the altar, [the candidates] rashly join in saṃgha affairs and recklessly receive the offerings of donors—truly pitiable! From "if truly committing..." onward is the fifth. From "further..." onward is the sixth. The above six all mean harboring a mind of compassionate succor. The rest, such as jesting and error, are not intentions to vex; therefore, all are exempt.
