12.65

四分律云。爾時世尊般涅槃後百歲。毘舍離跋闍子比丘行十事言。是法清淨佛所聽。應兩指抄食。得聚落間。得寺內。後聽可。得常法。得和。得與鹽共宿。得飲闍樓羅酒。得畜不截坐具。得受金銀。彼於布薩日檀越布施金銀。而共分之。如是揀擇一一撿校。乃至十事非法。非毘尼。非佛所教。已皆下舍羅在毘舍離。七百阿羅漢集論法毘尼。故名七百集法毘尼。

The Sifen lü says: At that time, one hundred years after the parinirvāṇa of the World-Honoured One, the Vṛjiputra bhikṣus of Vaiśālī practiced ten points, claiming: 'These practices are pure and permitted by the Buddha: it is permissible to take food with two fingers; permissible [to eat] between villages; permissible [to eat] within a monastery; permissible [to carry out acts with] subsequent approval; permissible [to follow] customary practice; permissible [to drink milk after meals]; permissible to stay overnight with salt; permissible to drink unfermented wine; permissible to possess a sitting mat that is not cut; and permissible to receive gold and silver.' On the poṣadha day, they divided among themselves the gold and silver donated by the dānapatis. Thus, examining and investigating them one by one, [it was concluded that] these ten points were contrary to the Dharma, contrary to the Vinaya, and not taught by the Buddha. Thereupon, casting the voting tallies (śalākā) at Vaiśālī, seven hundred arhats assembled to deliberate on the Dharma and Vinaya; hence it is called the Council of Seven Hundred on the Dharma and Vinaya.
