釋鑑稽古略續集 2.174

2.174

嗚呼僧若依朕條例。或居山澤。或守常住。或游諸方不干於民。不妄入市村。官民欲求僧以聽經。豈不難哉。如此則善者慕之。詣所在焚香禮請。豈不高明者也。行之歲久。佛道大昌。榜示之後。官民僧俗。敢有妄論乖為者。處以極刑。欽此。

"Alas, if monks comply with Our regulations—either dwelling in mountains and marshes, or guarding the permanent monastic property, or traveling in all directions without interfering with the people, not blindly entering markets and villages—would it not be difficult for officials and commoners wishing to seek monks to hear the scriptures? In that case, the virtuous will admire them, and go to where they reside to burn incense and politely invite them; would they not be considered men of high insight? If this is practiced for a long time, the Buddha's Way will greatly flourish. After this notice is posted, if officials, commoners, monks, or laity dare to make reckless remarks or engage in contrary conduct, they shall be sentenced to the ultimate penalty. Respect this."
