勅修百丈清規 6.14

6.14

普請之法蓋上下均力也。凡安眾處有必合資眾力而辦者。庫司先稟住持。次令行者傳語首座維那。分付堂司行者報眾掛普請牌。仍用小片紙書貼牌上云（某時某處）或聞木魚或聞鼓聲。各持絆膊搭左臂上。趨普請處宣力。除守寮直堂老病外。並宜齊赴。當思古人一日不作一日不食之誡。

The method of universal invitation is indeed for superiors and subordinates to equalize their labor. Wherever the assembly resides, if there are tasks that must rely on the assembly's collective strength to accomplish, the monastery storehouse first reports to the abbot, and then instructs a postulant to convey the message to the head seat and the karmadāna. They instruct the Sangha hall postulant to announce to the assembly and hang the universal invitation board, additionally using a small slip of paper written and pasted on the board saying: "(At such a time, in such a place)." When hearing either the wooden fish or the sound of the drum, each person holds their sleeve-binding cord, drapes it over the left arm, and hurries to the place of the universal invitation to apply their strength. Except for those guarding the dormitories, on duty in the hall, or the aged and sick, all should attend together. One should reflect upon the ancient's admonition: "A day without work is a day without food."
