### 第四支　綺語

> Chapter 4: Idle Chatter

▲資持云『言綺語者。古德釋云、如世錦綺交錯成文。或云綺側語、言乖道理故名綺側。亦名無義語。』

> Master Chizhi said: "As for frivolous speech, the ancient masters explained it this way: just as brocade silk is woven with intricate, colorful patterns, so too are empty words strung together beautifully. It is also called 'crooked speech,' because the words deviate from reason and truth. It is also known as 'meaningless talk.'"

▲事鈔云『成論。語雖是實語、以非時故、即名綺語。或雖是時、以隨衰惱、無利益故。雖復利益、以言無本、義理不次。皆名綺語。』

> From the \*Shishi Chao\* (A Commentary on the Precepts): According to the \*Chengshi Lun\* (Treatise on the Establishment of Truth), speech may be true, yet if it is spoken at an inappropriate time, it is considered frivolous speech. Likewise, even if the timing is right, if the words follow distress or sorrow and bring no benefit, they are still frivolous. Even if they seem beneficial, if the words lack a proper foundation or the reasoning is disordered, all such speech is also classified as frivolous speech.

資持釋云『成論實語、次第三相、俱有過故。非時者語不合宜、即名不義。衰惱謂令他不樂。無本謂師心也。』

> The commentary from Zichi explains: "According to the Chengshi Lun, the three aspects of truthful speech each have their own faults. 'Untimely' speech is speech that is not appropriate to the occasion, which is called 'unbeneficial.' 'Causing distress' means making others unhappy. 'Without basis' refers to speaking according to one's own whims."

▲事鈔云『不犯者、若小語錯誤等一切不犯。』

> The \*Shishi Chao\* states: "One is not at fault if the offense is minor, such as a slip of the tongue or a mistake; in all such cases, there is no violation."

資持釋云『失口非意、如常所開。』已上皆見事鈔記卷二十二

> The Zichi commentary explains, "Unintentional slips of the tongue are generally permitted, as is customarily allowed."

上來持犯別相中第一章性罪竟

> Here is the translation: --- Thus concludes the first chapter on the specific characteristics of offenses, concerning the inherently unwholesome deeds.
