四分比丘戒本疏 2.3

2.3

問：單提中財亦墮六非，仍貪心用，何不制捨？答：三十中財，一堪久貯、二資身要。墮六非已，多令貪用，故須制捨以治貪心。單提之財，一者不堪久貯，如別食等；二者資身非切，如白色衣等。故墮六非，多生餘惑、不多生貪，既不治貪何須制捨？且如取過三鉢食，早已食訖更持過三，即於今日不能更食，即非生貪。若欲停留，復不堪久。此乃由癡損惱施主，無貪可治，何復須制捨？別眾食等恐惱眾僧，皆准而釋。高床白衣等，愚教而畜，受用之時多生癡逸，既不治貪亦何須捨？

Question: Property under the simple prāyaścittikas also falls into these six faults and is still used with a mind of greed; why is relinquishment not enacted for it? Answer: Regarding the property in the thirty [rules]: first, it can be stored for a long time; second, it is essential for sustaining the body. Once it falls into the six faults, it mostly causes greedy use; therefore, relinquishment must be enacted to remedy the mind of greed. Regarding the property under the simple prāyaścittikas: first, it cannot be stored for a long time, such as separate meals and the like; second, it is not critical for sustaining the body, such as white-colored robes and the like. Therefore, though falling into the six faults, it mostly gives rise to other afflictions and does not mostly give rise to greed; since it does not remedy greed, why would relinquishment need to be enacted? Take, for instance, taking food exceeding three bowls: having already eaten one's fill and then taking more than three bowls, one cannot eat more on that very day, which means it does not give rise to greed. If one wishes to keep it, it cannot last long. This is harming and annoying the donor out of delusion; there is no greed to remedy, so why should relinquishment be enacted? The rules on separate meals and the like are intended to prevent distressing the assembly of monks, and all are explained according to this principle. As for high beds, white robes, and the like, they are kept out of ignorance of the teaching; using them mostly gives rise to delusion and negligence; since it does not remedy greed, why would they need to be relinquished?
