四分比丘戒本疏 2.77

2.77

The forty-seventh precept: Knowing that another's medicine invitation has a term limit of four months, accepting in excess without illness is why one commits an offence. If one has an illness, one commits no offence. 'Regular invitation' means the intention to give is unlimited. 'Renewed invitation' means repeatedly inviting for four months. 'Apportioned invitation' means that although the medicines are apportioned, the time is not limited. 'To the end of life' means either to the end of the donor's life or to the end of the monk's life.
