The precept against accepting precious substances.
The Caturvargika-vinaya states: There are eight kinds of money: gold, silver, copper, iron, pewter, lead, tin, and wood-lacquer. Using them in accordance with the country constitutes an offense requiring forfeiture. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: Accepting gold or silver money is a niḥsargika; the other six kinds are duṣkṛtas. The Mahīśāsaka-vinaya provides that one conducts a karman to appoint someone to discard it. If into water, a fire pit, or the wilderness, he is not permitted to mark the place; once discarded, he may not handle it again. The messenger should not ask the Saṃgha, “What should be done with this item?” Nor should the Saṃgha instruct him, “Do such and such.” If he does not ask the Saṃgha and also does not discard it, but has a pure person (kalpikāra) trade it for robes and food to bring and offer to the Saṃgha, the Saṃgha may receive it. If it is distributed, only the offender may not receive a share. The Caturvargika-vinaya explains: In the method of forfeiting precious substances, regarding a park-keeper or a faithful upāsaka, one should say to that person, “I ought not receive this item; you should know this.” If that person, having received it, returns it to the monk, he should receive it on his behalf, have the pure person reward him, and trade it for robes of the pure person to keep. If that person, having received it, does not return it to the monk, one may send another person, or go oneself to ask for it, saying, “The Buddha has an injunction: it was given for the sake of purification.” One may instruct him to give it to the Three Jewels, to others, or return it to the original owner. Why? Because one does not want to cause him to lose his gift of faith. The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: If there is a gold image or gilded image, one must not touch it. If the image falls over, have a pure person grasp it; if there is no pure person, one may support it at a place where there is gold. If it is covered entirely in gold, wrap the hand with cloth. If in a donor’s house there is a couch with precious substances, one is permitted to cover it with an object to sit upon; above, one must not touch it, nor praise the precious substances, nor have food served upon it; simply point with a finger to the ground and say, “I accept”; having accepted it, one must not touch its edges.
