量處輕重儀 1.12

1.12

冀懷道之士，時復披尋，足遣犯過極刑，足除由來深惑。然以人情忌狹，擁結非無，知事則親常住引輕入重，別僧則私自利引重從輕，倒亂昏情，殷鑑終古。（承聞六百段絹入重，屏風障子入輕之類）出家據道，彌須勵心，鄙俗淺懷，久須捐擲。又夫邊服華夷，儀形資具，風俗既別，物號亦殊。竝準例決，知輕重自別，始末該覽，足鏡規猷矣。

I hope that those who cherish the Way will occasionally open and examine it; it will suffice to prevent committing extreme penalties and remove long-standing deep confusions. However, human sentiments are narrow and suspicious, and entanglements are not lacking: those managing affairs favor the permanent property and drag light property into heavy, while individual monastics selfishly seek their own benefit and drag heavy property into light. Overturning and confusing their darkened minds, this serves as a stern warning throughout all antiquity (such as hearing that six hundred bolts of silk were classified as heavy property, while folding screens were classified as light property). Renunciants who rely on the Way must exert their minds even more; base and shallow worldly sentiments must long have been cast aside. Moreover, regarding peripheral and border regions, China and foreign lands, rituals, forms, and utensils, as customs are different, the names of objects are also distinct. If all are judged by analogy, knowing that light and heavy are naturally distinguished, and if one surveys from beginning to end, it will suffice as a mirror and a model.
