佛制比丘六物圖 1.24

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1900.1.24)

然此三色，名濫體別，須離俗中五方正色（謂青、黃、赤、白、黑）及五間色（謂緋、紅、紫、綠、碧，或云磂黃）。此等皆非道相，佛竝制斷。《業疏》云：「法衣順道。錦色斑綺，耀動心神，青黃五綵，真紫上色，流俗所貪，故齊削也。」

> However, while the names of these three colors are ambiguous, their substances are distinct; one must avoid the five primary colors of secular custom (namely blue-green, yellow, red, white, and black) and the five intermediate colors (namely crimson, pink, purple, green, and azure, or sulfur yellow). None of these are the appearance of the Way; the Buddha prohibited all of them. The Yeshu states: "The dharma robes accord with the Way. Variegated patterns and fine brocades agitate the mind and spirit; blue, yellow, and the five colors, and true purple as a primary color, are what the worldly crave, and therefore all are excised alike."
