3.17

Regarding the phrase “plundering the monastic community's property” (劫奪僧門): Jing says: “The Sangha's permanent property belongs to the monastic community. Because this property exists, the assembly of the Sangha gathers to perform the poṣadha and recite the precepts. Because this property is plundered, harmony cannot be maintained. This is comparable to when others wish to give property to the Sangha, and one diverts it to oneself.” Bei, Tai, and Ji's explanations largely agree with this. However, Ji states: “‘Monastic community's property’ refers to all matters and resources upon which the Sangha relies.” Tai states: “It means that having entered the monastic precincts, one commits plunder, and so on; thus there is a slight difference.”
