三、開畜器皿。律本聽畜大小釜，及蓋四瓫及杓并二瓶兩蓋，尼開說淨，僧則隨順。終並隨於重輕，不可以說淨非重。又開煮藥銚鐵土、三種釜瓶、煎餅𨫼釣杓銅鐏、擣藥杵臼、簸箕簁掃帚、煖水瓶、澍水筒澡罐盤斗秤等，諸裁衣皮之具，浣衣具，供給食具，押果汁具並開。又聽畜水瓶洗瓶盛水器，此並供給比丘，資道要用，身所憑濟，事不獲已。上士頭陀，衣鉢如鳥，何用上物，大成擔累？餘有一切俗家器皿盤梡盞合匙筯幝巾酒泉食案膾刀肉机，凡非道用，無問大小多少，並入重收，以斷俗懷，專務出道故。自餘有異於俗而是比丘要須者，若準《十誦》一切石物、一切瓦物、一切銅物，不應分器受二斗已上者。一切水精物、貝物、齒物、角物，不應分半斗已上者（律文如此，而事雜重輕如前，約相斷中具明分不分法，必臨機正委，不務籠通故也）。

3. Permitted vessels and utensils. The root Vinaya permits keeping large and small cauldrons, four tubs and covers, ladles, as well as two jars and two covers; nuns are permitted to perform vikalpanā, while monks just use them as appropriate. Ultimately, they all follow classification as heavy or light [property]; one cannot hold that because vikalpanā was performed, they are not heavy. Furthermore, permission is given [to keep] medicine-boiling pans of iron and earthenware, three kinds of cauldrons and jars, pancake pans, hanging-hook ladles, bronze pole-sockets, medicine pestles and mortars, winnowing baskets, sieves, brooms, warm-water jars, water-pouring tubes, washing basins, shallow trays, dou measures, scales, and the like; tools for cutting leather for robes, tools for washing robes, tools for serving food, and tools for pressing fruit juice are all permitted. Furthermore, keeping water jars, washing jars, and water-holding vessels is permitted. These are all to supply the monks with necessities for supporting the Way, on which the body relies for sustenance, out of unavoidable necessity. Superior persons practising dhūta have robes and bowls like a bird [has wings]; what use have they for the above items, which would become a great burden? As for all other secular vessels and utensils—trays, bowls, cups, boxes, spoons, chopsticks, cloths, napkins, wine jugs, food tables, slicing knives, and chopping blocks—anything not for religious use, regardless of size or quantity, is all gathered into heavy property, in order to sever secular thoughts and focus solely on the business of transcending the world. As for the rest that differ from secular items but are necessities for monks: according to the Sarvāstivāda [Vinaya], all stone items, all earthenware items, and all copper items of a vessel capacity of two dou or more must not be distributed. All crystal items, seashell items, ivory items, and horn items of a capacity of half a dou or more must not be distributed. (The Vinaya text is like this, yet matters are mixed in heavy and light as before; the methods of distribution and non-distribution are fully explained in the section on determining by physical marks, for when facing concrete situations one must be strictly precise and not seek vague generalisations.)
