量處輕重儀 1.36

1.36

已前七件，正本隨生，準律據義，斷入常住，並由貯儲，情厚譏醜，塵染內外瑕愆，勿過於此。故《毘尼母論》云，私有小寺園果堂房瓶瓫之屬養生之具，此現前僧不得分，屬四方僧（即常住也）。至如造食眾具，其例極多，但得通收而限，其大小相如《十誦》所列，異律不可籠通。若論木器，如《僧祇》云，木瓶木瓫、竹筐竹筥並入重收，又據餘部，便依量限。如《十誦》中，一切器皿，二斗已上入重，猶事有擔累故也。餘文如下更明。若現噉之食如《摩得勒伽論》云，若僧中請食已命過，同衣分之（準入重也）；若已命過後得食者，還歸本處。受他施衣亦爾。其餘三藥，必有長餘，如下分之。論有分全床者，別部曲開，此非機教，如下廣解。

The preceding seven items, being original staples and their derivatives, are determined according to the Vinaya and based on principle to be classified as permanent property. This is all because storing them up breeds strong personal attachment, invites ugly criticism, and taints one inside and out with defilement; nothing exceeds this. Therefore, the Vinayamātṛkā states: "As for privately owned small monasteries, orchards, halls, chambers, jars, and basins—the necessities of life—the present saṅgha may not divide them; they belong to the saṅgha of the four directions (that is, permanent property)." As for utensils for food preparation, their types are exceedingly numerous; one should simply collect them together and set limits. Their sizes are as listed in the Sarvāstivāda [Vinaya]; different Vinayas cannot be conflated. Regarding wooden vessels, the Mahāsāṃghika states: "Wooden jars, wooden basins, bamboo baskets, and bamboo hampers are all classified as heavy property." Furthermore, according to other schools, one relies on size limits. For instance, in the Sarvāstivāda, all vessels of two dou and above are classified as heavy property, because they are cumbersome to carry. The remaining text will explain this further below. As for food ready for consumption, the *Matṛkā* states: "If one dies after food has been invited in the saṅgha, it is divided like robes (according to the rule for heavy property); if one obtains food after death, it returns to its original place." The same applies to receiving robes donated by others. If there is a surplus of the remaining three medicines, they are divided as explained below. The treatises speak of dividing complete beds, which is an exceptional allowance of a particular school; this is not the fitting teaching for our capacity, as will be broadly explained below.
