四分律比丘含注戒本 1.186

1.186

爾時眾僧觀此比丘，若可信者，即聽使作；若不可信者，眾僧往看。若僧不去，應遣僧中可信者看。若有妨、難，不應處分；無者，應與。眾中應差堪能作羯磨者：若上座，若次座，若誦律，若不誦律。應作白言：「大德僧聽！某甲比丘自乞作屋，無主，自為己，今從僧乞處分無難、無妨處。若僧時到，僧忍聽，當與某甲比丘處分無難、無妨處。白如是。大德僧聽！某甲比丘自求作屋，無主，自為己，從僧乞處分無難、無妨處。僧今與某甲比丘處分無難、無妨處。誰諸長老忍『僧與某甲比丘處分無難、無妨處』者默然，誰不忍者說。僧已忍『與某甲比丘處分無難、無妨處』竟，僧忍默然故，是事如是持。」彼作房者，應知初安石及土塹、泥團，乃至最後泥治訖者是也。

At that time, the Saṃgha should observe this bhikṣu: if he is trustworthy, they immediately grant permission for him to build it; if he is not trustworthy, the Saṃgha goes to inspect it. If the Saṃgha does not go, it should send a trustworthy member of the Saṃgha to inspect it. If there are obstacles or dangers, they should not assign it; if there are none, they should grant it. The Saṃgha should depute one who is competent to perform the karman: whether a senior monk, a monk of middle rank, one who recites the Vinaya, or one who does not recite the Vinaya. He should make the motion, saying: ‘May the Venerable Saṃgha listen! Bhikṣu so-and-so is begging to build a hut for himself that is ownerless and made for himself; he now asks the Saṃgha to assign a site free of dangers and obstacles. If the time has come for the Saṃgha, and the Saṃgha gives its consent, it should assign a site free of dangers and obstacles to bhikṣu so-and-so. This is the motion. May the Venerable Saṃgha listen! Bhikṣu so-and-so begs to build a hut for himself that is ownerless and made for himself, asking the Saṃgha to assign a site free of dangers and obstacles. The Saṃgha now assigns a site free of dangers and obstacles to bhikṣu so-and-so. Whichever elders consent to the Saṃgha assigning a site free of dangers and obstacles to bhikṣu so-and-so, let them remain silent; whoever does not consent, let him speak. The Saṃgha has consented to assign a site free of dangers and obstacles to bhikṣu so-and-so, for the Saṃgha is silent, and thus it is consented; so should this matter be held.’ The one who builds the hut should know that this applies from the initial setting of stones, digging the trench, and laying mud bricks, up to the final plastering.
