廣弘明集 7.54

7.54

四明僧尼衣布省齋。則貧人不飢蠶無橫死者。臣聞佛戒僧尼糞掃衣五綴鉢望中一食。獨坐山中清居禪誦。此佛之章法也。若殺蠶作衣。佛戒不許。今則知佛理虛故生違犯（此是荀濟語）餘則鄙罵惡類廝下之言。不足聞也。

Fourth, he argued: 'If monks and nuns wear coarse cloth and reduce their vegetarian feasts, then the poor will not starve and silkworms will not die untimely deaths. Your subject has heard that the Buddha's precepts command monks and nuns to wear robes made of rags from the dust heap, to carry a five-pieced bowl, to eat one meal at midday, and to sit alone in the mountains dwelling purely in meditation and chanting. This is the Buddha's standard regulation. If one kills silkworms to make clothes, the Buddha's precepts do not allow it. Now we know that the Buddha's principles are empty, and hence these violations arise' (these are the words of Xun Ji). The rest are vulgar insults and the base words of vile underlings, not worthy to be heard.
