量處輕重儀 1.65

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895.1.65)

已前四件，並是正重，嚴禁俗財。初及三四，義非自畜，容有助道，說付白衣，身亡入重，故在常住。二是輕寶，隨緣三途，若是本體塊叚銅鍮，人來以施，不擬形用，則隨本重，說付淨主。若是百一椀鉢衣鉤之徒，律開受用，故在輕限，銅叚擬用，例此可分。故《僧祇》中，一切錢——金銀真珠、瑠璃珂貝、珊瑚車渠、馬腦玉石——入重。若已成器物，入百一物數者，入輕，此非正寶也。故《僧祇》云，錢金銀不得觸，若餘輕寶得觸，不得著，得作百一物用。如論所明，不須說淨。

> The four items above are all strictly heavy property, strictly forbidden mundane wealth. For the first, third, and fourth: in principle they may not be kept by oneself; if they happen to support the Way, they may be entrusted to laypeople through vikalpanā, and upon death they are classified as heavy property, thus remaining in permanent property. The second category consists of light treasures, which follow conditions into three pathways: if they are lumps and fragments of copper or brass in their original substance that people donated not intended for bodily use, they follow their original heavy nature and are entrusted to a pure keeper through vikalpanā. If they belong to the class of the one hundred and one items such as bowls, basins, or robe hooks, which the Vinaya permits for personal use, they fall within the category of light property; copper fragments intended for use can be distributed by analogy with this. Thus in the Mahāsāṃghika: all coins—gold, silver, genuine pearls, lapis lazuli, cowrie shells, coral, tridacna, agate, jade, and stone—are classified as heavy property. If they have already been fashioned into vessels and utensils and count among the one hundred and one items, they are classified as light property; these are not genuine treasures. Thus the Mahāsāṃghika states: 'Coins, gold, and silver must not be touched; other light treasures may be touched but must not be worn; they may be used as the one hundred and one items.' As explained in the treatises, they do not require vikalpanā.
