釋門章服儀 1.50

1.50

然釋門正化，以法為宗，准法承修，如車行轍。故衣雖多，不受持者，無離法罪，但越威儀，別有科咎，所以隨道要務，竝加持故。法衣被身，以遮外也；應器資食，以充內也。內外不持，皆結其犯，違犯順法，俱名作持。

Now, the orthodox transformation of the Buddhist order takes the Dharma as its foundation; to cultivate in accordance with the Dharma is like a cart following its tracks. Therefore, even if one has many robes, if one has not received and upheld them through adhiṣṭhāna, there is no offense of separation from the robes; one merely violates deportment, for which there is a separate offense. Hence, essential matters accompanying the Path are all to be consecrated with adhiṣṭhāna. Wearing the Dharma robe covers the exterior; using the patra for food sustains the interior. Failing to uphold them internally and externally both incur offenses; whether in committing an infraction or complying with the Dharma, both are termed 'observance through action.'
