佛制比丘六物圖 1.16

1.16

初、明求乞離過。由是法衣，體須清淨。西梵高僧，多捨糞掃衣。今欲如法，但離邪求。《事鈔》云：「興利、販易得者，不成。」《律》云：「不以邪命得（下引《疏》釋）；激發得（說彼所得，發此令施）；現相得（詐現乏少，欲他憐愍）；犯捨墮衣（三十諸衣戒等）；竝不得作。」《業疏》云：「邪命者，言略事含。大而言之，但以邪心，有涉貪染，為利賣法，禮佛、誦經、斷食諸業，所獲贜賄，皆名邪命。」今人囊積盈餘，強從他乞；巧言諂附，餉遺污家。凡此等類，竝號邪利。

First, explaining the avoidance of faults in seeking and begging. Because it is a dharma robe, its substance must be pure. Eminent monks of the Western regions mostly renounced [all else for] the pāṃśukūla robes. If one now wishes to conform to the Dharma, one must simply avoid improper seeking. The Shichao states: "Material obtained through pursuing profit and commercial trade does not make [a valid robe]." The Vinaya states: "One may not obtain it through wrong livelihood (explained below citing the Yeshu); through provocation (speaking of what another received to provoke this person to give); through displaying signs (feigning lack and insufficiency so that others take pity); or robes involving naiḥsargika-prāyaścittika offenses (the thirty robe precepts, etc.); none of these may be used to make [a robe]." The Yeshu states: "'Wrong livelihood' is a brief term that contains many matters. Broadly speaking, whenever one acts with an improper mind involving greed and attachment, selling the Dharma for profit, or receiving ill-gotten goods and bribes through bowing to the Buddha, chanting sūtras, fasting, or various such activities—all of these are called wrong livelihood." Nowadays, people accumulate a surplus in their bags and yet forcefully beg from others; using artful words to flatter and curry favor, they send gifts and defile families. All such kinds are termed improper gain.
