Since you act in an uncommon way, this practice is very good. In order to do so, in general, the intention of the Hearers and Solitary Realizers Vehicle is: seeking the peace of liberation from the suffering of samsara, which is the intention of a middling person. But now elevate the intention, for the benefit of all sentient beings, in order to attain nirvana that does not abide in either extreme, first wishing to take the vows of a layperson. Therefore, I request the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas abiding in the ten directions, the noble Hearer assembly, and the teacher to consider me. I, named so-and-so, from this time until the end of my life, take refuge in the Buddha, the best of the two-legged. I take refuge in the Dharma, the best of those free from desire. I take refuge in the Sangha, the best of assemblies. I request you to accept me as a layperson from now until the end of my life. Recite this three times, using skillful means. Then, at the beginning of ordination, the meaning of asking about obstacles. You are ordained into the gate of the Dharma, are there any obstacles that become obstacles to the arising of vows? Is it for the sake of competing with others? Is it not forced to be accepted by others? Do you wish to be ordained in order to accomplish the benefit of yourself and others? In response to these questions, answer in order: No. No. Yes. Let them say that. You are ordained, in general, the Ratnakuta Sutra says: Then, the Bhagavan said to the Bodhisattva Maitreya and the Bodhisattva Pure Conduct: Noble men, you two ordain these householders and give them full ordination. After the Bhagavan granted permission, the Bodhisattva Maitreya ordained nine thousand householders. The Bodhisattva Pure Conduct ordained seven thousand householders. As it is said, just as Maitreya and Manjushri abide in the form of householders, and the ones to be tamed obtain ordination and full ordination without changing the form of householders, here too it is the same, because there is no restriction on the giver, the teacher, and the one to be tamed, the disciple, whether they are ordained or white-clothed laypeople, so it is the common Mahayana.

虽然显现为不像我这样的方式,因此对于改变标志并不特别依赖。然而,如同佛陀降临世间后,为了仅仅作为追随其传记的象征,即使是居家者也给予标志作为一种替代的习俗。取走身体的行动和衣服、器皿的标志后,生起想要追随导师佛陀的想法。这样传达后,祈请令喜好佛法的诸神欢喜。这样剃除头发后,取了三宝中的名字。之后,递给袈裟和裙子等衣物,说道:如同世尊、如来、应供、正等觉的释迦牟尼佛,释迦狮子,释迦王之主,将这出家人的坏色法衣赐予你。你要像珍惜和爱护眼中的瞳仁一样珍惜它,像血肉一样不离不弃地穿戴它。你要做好衣服的事情,谨慎地行事。顶礼!以三宝的真谛加持,将这坏色法衣的旗帜授予有缘的你,愿你生生世世都穿着有惭有愧的衣服,具足戒律清净的庄严。递给钵和滤水器,说道:如同世尊释迦牟尼佛证得圆满正等觉后,为了做饮食的事情,将这钵和滤水器一起赐予你,你要以不损害众生的方式好好地做饮食的事情。顶礼!三宝的真谛……将钵和滤水器授予有缘的你,愿你从饥荒的劫难中解脱。这样说着,又一边撒着花,顶礼!以三宝的真谛……愿这些有寿者的戒蕴、定蕴、慧蕴、解脱蕴、解脱知见蕴都圆满具足。这样祈愿。因此,改变名字和标志的必要也是为了改变想法。因为这整个轮回都变成了痛苦的处所,如同火坑一般,为了自己和他人的众生

Although it appears in a way that is not like me, therefore it does not particularly rely on changing signs. However, just as the custom of giving signs as a substitute even to householders as a mere symbol of following the biography of the Buddha who came into the world. After taking the signs of the body's actions and clothes and utensils, generate the thought of wanting to follow the teacher Buddha. After conveying this, pray to please the gods who love the Dharma. After shaving the hair in this way, a name from the Three Jewels was taken. Then, handing over the robes and skirts and other clothes, he said: Just as the Bhagavan, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Samyaksambuddha Shakyamuni Buddha, the Shakya Lion, the Lord of the Shakya Kings, bestows this monastic, impure-colored Dharma robe upon you. You should cherish it like cherishing and loving the pupil of your eye, and wear it inseparable like flesh and blood. You should do the work of clothing and act cautiously. Homage! By the blessing of the truth of the Three Jewels, bestowing this banner of impure-colored Dharma robe upon you who are fortunate, may you wear clothes of shame and modesty in all lifetimes, and be adorned with the purity of discipline. Handing over the bowl and water strainer, he said: Just as the Bhagavan Shakyamuni Buddha attained perfect enlightenment, in order to do the work of food, this bowl and water strainer are given to you together, you should do the work of food well in a way that does not harm sentient beings. Homage! The truth of the Three Jewels... Bestowing the bowl and water strainer upon you who are fortunate, may you be liberated from the calamity of famine. Saying this, and scattering flowers at the same time, Homage! By the truth of the Three Jewels... May the aggregates of morality, the aggregates of concentration, the aggregates of wisdom, the aggregates of liberation, and the aggregates of the wisdom of liberation of these long-lived ones be completely fulfilled. Praying in this way. Therefore, the necessity of changing names and signs is also to change thoughts. Because this entire cycle of existence has become a place of suffering, like a pit of fire, for oneself and other sentient beings.

May all be liberated into the state of unsurpassed enlightenment. For that purpose, I resolve to renounce the household life. I beseech the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas residing in the ten directions, as well as all noble Śrāvakas and the preceptor, to listen to me. I, named so-and-so, from this time forth until the end of my life, take refuge in the Buddha, the foremost of bipeds. I take refuge in the Dharma, the foremost of those free from desire. I take refuge in the Saṅgha, the foremost of assemblies. I shall follow in the footsteps of the Buddha Śākyamuni, the Śākya Lion, the Śākya King, the principal one who has appeared. Please allow me to renounce. Repeat three times, and apply skillful means. Then, in order to liberate myself and all others from saṃsāra, I take the vows of a śrāmaṇera, to continue the lineage of the noble Arhats. I beseech the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas residing in the ten directions, as well as all noble Śrāvakas. I beseech the preceptor to listen to me. I, named so-and-so, from this time forth until the end of my life, take refuge in the Buddha, the foremost of bipeds. I take refuge in the Dharma, the foremost of those free from desire.

I beseech the teacher Buddha and the Saṅgha of noble bhikṣus who speak the Dharma, and all venerable ones, to listen to me, named so-and-so. I beseech the venerable ones to allow me, named so-and-so, to become a bhikṣu. Repeat three times, and apply skillful means. By the blessings of the Three Jewels, you have now obtained the bhikṣu vows, which completely abandon misdeeds, in your continuum. Now, if I show you a brief summary of the precepts, from now on, you should train in the four śrāmaṇa dharmas. Which four?

那,即使责骂也不反过来责骂,即使发怒也不反过来发怒,即使殴打也不反过来殴打,即使揭短也不反过来揭短。这样教导。像这样不看身体的相貌和装束,而是学习内心的梵行,而被立为沙弥的比丘是,如前所引,在《宝积经》中所说的那样,此外,在强猛者请问时,善幻术师被授记时,以及妙吉祥游戏之女金顶光吉祥被授记的场合中,也明确地显示了这一点。而且,在《律经》本身中,也说到了以在家人身份安住而成为比丘的情况,即:即使以装饰来打扮,也行持佛法,调柔且如实地行持戒律,行持梵行,对于一切众生断除惩罚,那就是比丘,那就是修行者。如是说。并且,《地藏十轮经》与《律经》一致,将具有圣者之法的在家人,归入真实的比丘之列,等等,都有详细的说明。然后是讲法,按照此宗的规矩,因为厌倦了轮回的痛苦,而寻求寂静安乐,这是中士夫的道。因此,必须通过对四谛的取舍之门来学习。其中,轮回的痛苦就像疾病的疼痛,集起就像产生该疾病的原因,道谛就像消除疾病的对治——医药,灭谛就像从疾病中解脱的安乐。因此,要了解痛苦,舍弃其因——集起,将灭谛作为要获得的目标,并且要依止道谛。即,对于四谛,要毫不错误地进行业果的取舍。像这样入门之后,实际进行灌顶。首先是天神灌顶,从坛城上排列的天神中,以一灯分二焰的方式,依次给予各个天神,并通过你们头顶融入的加持,消除痛苦,断绝集起,生起灭道之功德,生起特别的信心。手持主尊的擦擦,过去、未来、现在,三时诸佛

That, even if scolded, do not scold back; even if angry, do not be angry back; even if beaten, do not beat back; even if flaws are exposed, do not expose flaws back. Thus, he advised. Like this, without looking at the signs and appearance of the body, but training in the pure conduct of the mind, being established as a novice monk is as stated before, as spoken in the "Heap of Jewels Sutra." Furthermore, when asked by the Fierce One, when the good illusionist was prophesied, and also in the occasions of prophesying the daughter of Manjushri's play, Golden Supreme Light Splendor, it was clearly shown. Moreover, even in the Vinaya Sutra itself, it is said that even while abiding in the signs of a householder, one can be called a Bhikshu, that is: Even if adorned with ornaments, practice Dharma, be gentle and truly practice discipline, practice pure conduct, abandon punishment for all beings, that is a Bhikshu, that is a practitioner. Thus it is said. And, in accordance with the "Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha" and the Vinaya Sutra, householders who possess the Dharma of the Noble Ones are included in the category of true Bhikshus, and so on, which are explained in detail. Then, the teaching of the Dharma is that, according to the custom of this vehicle, since being weary of the suffering of samsara and seeking peace and happiness is the path of the intermediate person, one must learn through the means of adopting and abandoning based on the Four Noble Truths. Among these, the suffering of samsara is like the pain of a disease, the origin is like the cause that produces that disease, the path truth is like the antidote to eliminate the disease—medicine, and the cessation truth is like the happiness of being liberated from the disease. Therefore, having understood suffering, abandon its cause—the origin, make the cessation truth the goal to be attained, and rely on the path truth. That is, regarding the Four Noble Truths, make no mistake in adopting and abandoning the cause and effect of actions. Having thus established the entrance, actually perform the empowerment. First, the deity empowerment is given by sequentially bestowing each deity from the deities arranged on the mandala in the manner of one lamp splitting into two flames, and through the blessings that dissolve from the crown of your heads, may suffering be purified, may the origin be ceased, and may the qualities of cessation and path be born in your being, generate special faith. Holding the main deity's tsakli, past, future, and present, Buddhas of the three times,
