四分律行事鈔資持記 2.559

2.559

Under the general explanation, the first section. The five admonitions were enumerated earlier, and the first two clauses summarize them. "Violating these admonitions" refers to the four precepts in this section. "Reaching into the subsequent section" refers to the one among the bare pāyattikas, provisionally clarified here in advance. From "Or..." downward explains separately, first clarifying three precepts, as enumerated in the note. Slandering the saṃgha refers to corrupting families; resisting the saṃgha refers to a difficult nature. "Rare matters" means the faults are not ordinary; "obscure Dharma" means the karmavācanā is not performed. From "Or only..." downward explains two precepts. There are two meanings: if cause does not achieve the fruit, in the entire conversion of Jambudvīpa, only Devadatta alone carried splitting the saṃgha to completion; the others were merely preparatory stages; being restricted to when the Buddha was present is because after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, there was no one to compete in conversion. If it is splitting the saṃgha of karmas, it can reach fruition, and further extends to after the parinirvāṇa; however, when discussing the offense now, one must possess both kinds of splitting; what is strictly admonished is only [splitting] the Dharma wheel. From "As..." downward summarizes the reason for not expanding. "Many marks" means the conditions and marks for constituting an offense under each individual precept.
