菩薩戒義疏 2.66

2.66

第四十七、非法制限戒。既見善事，法應隨喜，而今制網障閡，乖善之義故制。在家二眾同犯。出家五眾無其自在之制，脫立閡善，制限亦同此制。大小同犯。序事三階：一、標受戒者，兩釋：一云標被制之人，佛子欲信心受戒，而制限障閡，不聽彼受；二云標能制之人，佛子始以信心受戒，末便立非法制限，是故示應。「若國王」下，二、正制限之事。不聽出家，斷僧寶也。不聽四部出家者，謂居士、居士婦、童男、童女。不聽道立形像，斷佛寶也。不聽書寫經律，斷法寶也。「故作」下，舉非結過。

Forty-seventh, the precept against unlawful restrictions: Upon seeing good deeds, one should by rule rejoice in them; yet now imposing restrictive nets and impediments violates the principle of goodness; hence it is established. It is an offense shared by the two lay assemblies. The five monastic assemblies lack such independent authority to restrict, yet if they establish hindrances to goodness, their restrictions also fall under this rule. It is an offense shared by the Great and Small. The account of the matter has three stages: First, designating those who receive the precepts. There are two interpretations: one says it designates the persons being restricted: children of the Buddha wish to receive the precepts in faithful conviction, but restrictions and impediments prevent them from receiving them; the second says it designates the persons able to restrict: children of the Buddha initially received the precepts in faithful conviction, but later establish unlawful restrictions; hence it shows what should be. From "If kings" below, second, the actual matters of restriction: not permitting renunciation cuts off the Saṃgha Jewel. Not permitting the four categories to renounce refers to householders, householders' wives, boys, and girls. Not permitting the erection of images along roads cuts off the Buddha Jewel. Not permitting the copying of scriptures and vinaya cuts off the Dharma Jewel. From "Purposely acting" below, citing the transgression and concluding the offense.
