宗四分比丘隨門要略行儀 1.23

1.23

受盡刑藥文　大德一心念。我比丘某甲。今為某病因緣故（溫冷等隨患稱）此薑椒等盡形受藥。為欲共宿長服故。今於大德邊受（三說）彼答云爾（又此藥有四種。謂時與非時七日盡形。若四藥相和從強作各而服。作服已更勿令未受具者觸之。隨其限內無間晝夜一切時得服。若病差已或無病服者皆犯突吉羅。又世有愚叟於非時分中。或飲乳酪豉汁棗湯。或飯漿等。及以石榴梨柰蒲桃赤柰等諸果。得便咀嚼㗘汁咽之。云教開聽實亦可傷之甚。菓等作漿。聖令擣押分。其汁滓去滓留汁。取之澄清。然以淨水添和。壞其本味。如是應法方始開聽。前任流心誠為侮猛。又以乾[麩-夫+少]麥飯和苟把己等諸藥擣之。或以蘇蜜等和胡麻屑用作非時藥服。如是等例隨所食者皆咽咽犯提。此乃愚壞妄思濫行。此計發戒存道者時宜慎之爾）。

Text for receiving lifetime medicine: "Bhadanta, preserve single-minded mindfulness. I, the bhikṣu named so-and-so, now on account of such-and-such an illness (state according to the affliction, such as warm or cold), receive this lifetime medicine, ginger and pepper, etc., in order to store it overnight and take it for a long period, from the Bhadanta." (Spoken three times.) The other answers, saying: "It is well." (Furthermore, there are four kinds of medicines: namely, timely, untimely, seven-day, and lifetime. If the four medicines are blended together, follow the predominant one and take it as such. Once taken, do not allow those who have not received full ordination to touch it. Within their prescribed limits, they may be taken at all times without interval, whether day or night. If, having recovered from illness or without being ill, one takes it, in all cases one commits a duṣkṛta. Furthermore, there are foolish elders in the world who, during the untimely period, drink milk, curd, fermented soybean broth, jujube soup, rice water, and the like, as well as fruits such as pomegranate, pear, crabapple, grape, and red apple, chewing them at will, swallowing the juice. They claim the teachings permit this, which is truly deeply lamentable. When making juices from fruits and the like, the Sage ordered that one pound and press them, separating the juice from the dregs, discarding the dregs and keeping the juice, taking it when clear, and then diluting it with pure water to disrupt its original flavor. Only when prepared in accordance with the Dharma in this manner is it permitted. Letting one's mind flow unchecked as before is truly an audacious insult [to the Dharma]. Furthermore, some mix dried parched-barley meal with medicines such as wolfberry and pound them, or mix sesame meal with ghee, honey, and the like to consume as untimely medicine. In cases such as these, with every swallow one commits a prāyaścittika. This is the reckless conduct of foolish, corrupt, and misguided thoughts. Those who maintain their precepts and preserve the Way must be cautious of this in their practice.)
