量處輕重儀 2.28

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895.2.28)

已前一件，正律唯明革履一色，餘者不明。依《僧祇》、《五分》斷，革屣及囊，入分。必現有熟皮，準《十誦》中，繫革屣韋鞾韋鹿韋熟韋裏脚指韋，應分。必有生皮，理從重攝。然此神州都不服用，嶺表劒南時有著者，若南海諸國五竺道俗皆常所履服也。其形如此，方摺屐狀，兼施後踵，邊耳全無，多以革皮作之。若以鞾履例準，義亦開分。鞾履鞋屨，時有三臺龍鳳及錯綫綺繡刺成者，若非純色，宜入重收。或有平鞾尖鞾，律無正斷，然《五分》中，以靴𩍓太深為世所譏，理非懷道者所踐。平鞾異俗，可入輕分；尖全乖道，準入重攝。若準天竺複羅，形如皮鞾，面前決開，行則左右掩繫，必平尖二鞾似此相從，並準入輕。餘有短𩍓高頭類，列亦宜從履屨同斷。

> Regarding the single item above, the proper Vinaya only explains leather shoes of one color, and does not explain the others. According to the rulings of the Mahāsāṃghika and Mahīśāsaka, leather sandals and pouches enter into distribution. If there is already cured leather, then following the Sarvāstivāda, straps of leather sandals, leather boots, deer-leather, cured leather, and leather for wrapping the toes should be distributed. If there is raw hide, by principle it is subsumed under heavy property. However, in this Divine Continent (China), these are not worn at all; in Lingbiao and Jiannan they are occasionally worn, whereas in the various South Sea countries and the Five Indias, both monastics and laity regularly wear them. Their shape is like this: square folded clogs, additionally fitted with a heel and completely lacking side loops, mostly made of leather. If judged by analogy with boots and shoes, their distribution is also permitted in principle. Among boots, shoes, slippers, and sandals, there are sometimes those embroidered with the Three Terraces, dragons and phoenixes, or interwoven with variegated threads; if they are not of a plain color, they should be classified as heavy property. Furthermore, there are flat-toed boots and pointed boots, on which the Vinaya has no direct ruling; however, in the Mahīśāsaka, boots with shafts that are too high are ridiculed by the world, and by principle should not be trodden upon by those who cherish the Way. Flat-toed boots differ from the secular and may be classified as light property; pointed ones entirely contradict the Way and by standard are classified as heavy property. If we follow the Indian phula, its shape is like leather boots, split open in front, overlapping and tied on the left and right when walking; if flat and pointed boots resemble this, they are both classified as light property by standard. Other varieties with short shafts and raised toes should also be judged the same as shoes and sandals.
