四分比丘戒本疏 2.25

2.25

The nineteenth precept: on trading in treasures. This refers to trading treasures back and forth; committing this with respect to any of the seven assemblies constitutes an offence, and doing it oneself or instructing others to do it all constitute offences. The text's phrase “buying and selling” is simply an alternate name for trading back and forth. According to the *Sarvāstivāda-śāstra*, trading them back and forth after performing vikalpana still constitutes an offence. The forfeiture and confession should be understood as being identical to the preceding precept.
