惡觸 [e chu]—Evil Touch – [Term] Food that, having been touched by another person’s hand (他人之手 [ta ren zhi shou]), becomes defiled (惡穢者 [e hui zhe]). Generally, precepts (戒律 [jie lu]) consider food touched by another’s hand as impure (不淨 [bu jing]) and forbid its consumption (禁食 [jin shi]). See Xingshi Chao (行事鈔 [xing shi chao]) Vol. 2, and Zizhi Ji (資持記 [zi chi ji]) Vol. 2, Part 2.
惡觸—【術語】食物為他人之手所觸而惡穢者。凡戒律以他人手觸之食物為不淨而禁食之。見行事鈔下，同資持記下二之二。
