法苑珠林 42.44

42.44

述曰。比見諸人非時分中食於時食。何者是耶。謂邊方道俗等。聞律開食果汁漿。遂即食乾棗汁或生梨蒲萄石榴。不擣汁飲。并子總食。雖有擣汁。非澂使清。取濁濃汁。并滓而食。或有聞開食舍樓伽果漿以患熱病遂取生藕并根生食。或有取清飯漿飲。或身無飢渴非時食蘇油蜜石蜜等。或用杏人煎作稠湯。如此濫者非一。不可具述。若准十誦。非前遠行等五種之人不得輒食。食便破齋。見數犯者多。故別疏記。

I comment: Lately I have seen many people eating timely food during improper times. What are these? Namely, monastics and laypeople in border regions, hearing that the Vinaya permits drinking fruit juices and syrups, immediately eat the juice of dried dates, or raw pears, grapes, and pomegranates; without crushing them to drink the juice, they eat them whole with their seeds. Or, although they crush them for juice, they do not strain it clear, but take the turbid, thick juice and eat it together with the dregs. Or some, hearing that the śāluka fruit syrup is permitted, because they suffer from heat illnesses, take raw lotus root and eat it raw with its roots. Or some take clear congee liquid to drink; or, having neither hunger nor thirst in their bodies, consume butter, oil, honey, rock sugar, and the like at improper times; or boil apricot kernels to make thick broth. Such abuses are not solitary and cannot be fully recounted. If judged by the *Sarvāstivāda-vinaya*, anyone other than the aforementioned five kinds of persons, such as long-distance travelers, must not casually consume them; doing so immediately breaks the fast. Seeing that many repeatedly commit this offense, I have made a separate note of it.
