辯正論 8.67

8.67

僧祇等律云。應法澡灌咽細腹麁護淨便易生善長道最為要用。是以為佛所歎制。諸弟子竝令畜之。比見道士亦將此器。若樂習佛家之瓶。亦須受持僧用之鉢。鉢既不肯用之。其瓶理亦宜廢。案內法齋上坐受食先呪願及唱等供。茲法並出十誦等律。比見道士亦皆呪願及唱等供。道先無文。何所憑據。檀者西域之音。此地往翻名之為施。越者度也。若能行檀當得越度生死。故云檀越。其優婆夷者。清信女也。比見道士亦呼俗人為檀越優婆夷。據何典籍以為此喚。請各依經別立名字。若以道士愛斯佛法不肯改者。亦請改彼道字名為菩提。若以為是西音而不肯稱者。其檀越優婆夷之名。亦不得喚。

The Vinaya of the Mahāsāṃghika and other texts state: The water jug made according to the Dharma has a narrow neck and a wide belly; it protects purity, is convenient and easy to use, gives rise to goodness, and promotes the Path, making it an essential utensil. Therefore, it was praised and instituted by the Buddha, and all disciples were ordered to keep one. Recently, I have seen Daoist masters also carrying this vessel. If they enjoy adopting the vessel of the Buddhist school, they must also receive and keep the bowl used by the saṃgha. Since they refuse to use the bowl, then in principle the water jug ought also to be discarded. According to the internal Dharma, the head monk at an upoṣadha meal, before receiving the food, first chants the benediction and proclaims the equal offering. These rules all derive from the Sarvāstivāda-vinaya and other texts. Recently, I have seen Daoist masters likewise chanting benedictions and proclaiming equal offerings. Daoism previously had no such texts; on what do they rely? 'Dān' is a sound from the Western Regions, which here was formerly translated as 'charity' (dāna). 'Pati' (yue) means to cross over (du). If one can practice charity, one will surely cross over birth and death; hence they are called dānapati (tanyue). An upāsikā is a pure and faithful woman. Recently, I have seen Daoist masters also addressing laypeople as dānapati and upāsikā. Based on which canonical texts do they make this address? I request that each school follow its own scriptures and establish distinct names. If the Daoist masters love this Buddhist Dharma and refuse to change it, then I also request that their word 'Dao' be changed to 'Bodhi'. If they consider it a Western sound and refuse to utter it, then the names 'dānapati' and 'upāsikā' must likewise not be called.
