念佛鏡 2.14

2.14

Answer: "In the teaching of buddhānusmṛti, residing in monasteries and abbeys is permitted. Why is this? Residing in good places in the present, one intends to be reborn in a good realm in the future and intends to realize bodhi; therefore they are made to reside in monasteries, and also enter fine places in saṃghārāma monasteries. The objection says: 'Inferior and evil sentient beings are not permitted to dwell in the fine places of saṃghārāma monasteries; the unsurpassed, superior, and wondrous fruit cannot be attained by inferior and evil sentient beings.'"
