Compiled by the renunciant Miaosheng of Kuaiji
三衣六物之制簡自佛心其功固不可量也由是釋子特不可以斯須而忽忘其制但齊世有弗遵乎教者愚常欲正之未能也一旦東藏律師別出六物圖將以革其弊(余)始聞之甚喜因求本而觀之不幸其間文義疎漏頗多於余心反有所未安遂於圖文中有未然之義頗為疎出兼以自所見聞而辨其訛葢務存於此矣非好改人云異但慮其說別行于世有專信者遂不看疏鈔正文因而日月浸遠相承訛謬將久不可革豈於始萌之際杜口而無言耶願以愚之短見而照之於圖文果如何耶厥或確然弗從豈其世無人乎今略為十一段文無次比葢循圖文隨見隨辨耳餘有數端避繁未出。
The regulations concerning the three robes and six possessions originate from the Buddha’s own heart, and their merit is truly immeasurable. Because of this, disciples of the Buddha must not, even for a moment, forget these regulations. However, in our current age, there are those who do not follow the teachings, and I have long wished to correct this, though I have not yet been able to do so. Recently, the Vinaya Master Dongzang produced a chart of the six possessions, intending to rectify these abuses. (I) was very pleased when I first heard of it, so I requested a copy to study. Unfortunately, the text and its meanings contained many omissions and errors, which left me uneasy. I have therefore set out to clarify the points in the text and charts that were problematic, while also incorporating my own observations to correct the inaccuracies. My intention is simply to preserve the truth; it is not that I enjoy changing the words of others. I only fear that if these explanations circulate in the world, those who place their trust in them will stop reading the original commentaries and texts, leading to errors being passed down and compounded over time, until they can no longer be corrected. How could I remain silent while these errors are still in their infancy? I hope to shed light on these charts and texts with my own humble views; if they are indeed found to be correct, then who in the world could deny them? I have now briefly divided my critique into eleven sections. These are not arranged in any particular order, as I have simply addressed issues as I encountered them in the charts and text. There are several other points I have omitted to avoid excessive length.
