瑜伽師地論略纂 8.30

8.30

Where the treatise says, "Furthermore, in order to guard bedding and seating, and to accord with worldly deportment," and so forth: The meaning here is that during the early watch of the night, because one fully engages in walking meditation, one is not made to engage in walking meditation during the later watch of the night. During the early watch, walking meditation is not allowed to go far, or goes to the daytime walking area; fearing that thieves might steal the bedding and seating, one is made to walk near the bedding and seating. Furthermore, although it is during the night, deportment must be proper; thus, according with worldly deportment, one does walking meditation in the early watch of the night. Moreover, in worldly custom there is walking meditation in the early watch of the night, and the gathered saṃgha performs walking meditation in the early watch of the night; this accords with worldly deportment and is thus identical. There are two conditions for walking meditation in the early watch of the night: first, guarding the bedding and seating, which is why one does not go far; second, according with worldly deportment, so one walks during the daytime period.
