量處輕重儀 1.50

1.50

已上三件，資身正要，非常恒有，是病即須。初一，治救刀鐵，律文通許，既是小細機候所宜，準如《十誦》灌鼻箇等，入輕所收。餘有藥筒藥函諸器相從分也。第二，諸方本草，既是俗習，宜從重收。盡形藥中未擣治者入重。若已擣和合成湯丸膏煎異本藥相者，及服殘餘分，此實非所幸，宜準《僧祇》入輕分之。

The three items above are essential for sustaining the body. They are not perpetually maintained; rather, when one is ill, they are required. As for the first: medical tools such as lancets and iron implements are generally permitted by the Vinaya texts. Since they are small, fine, and suited to the occasion, by analogy with nasal instillation tubes and the like in the Sarvāstivāda, they are classified as light property. The remaining medicine tubes, medicine boxes, and various containers follow their classification and are distributed accordingly. As for the second: various recipe books and materia medica are mundane practices and should be classified as heavy property. Among the lifetime medicines, those that have not yet been pounded and prepared are classified as heavy. If they have already been pounded and mixed into decoctions, pills, salves, or boiled extracts, thus altering the original characteristics of the medicine, as well as remnants left over after consumption, these are genuinely not luxuries; in accordance with the Mahāsāṃghika, they should be classified as light property and distributed.
