。大海之中，神龙所居，沙竭龙王，阿耨达、难头、和罗摩那、私伊罗末，如此诸龙，妙德难量，能造天宫，品物之类，无不仰之；吾僧法亦复如是，四双八辈之士，十二贤者，菩萨大士，教化之功，弥茂弥美，此第六之德。大海吞受百川万流，江恒之水，无不受之，终日终夜，无盈溢灭尽之名；吾僧法之中亦如是，梵释之种，来入僧法，四姓族望，或释或梵，王者之种，舍世豪尊，来入正化，或工师小姓，亦入正化，种族虽殊，至于服习大道，同为一味，无非释子，此第七之德。大海清净，不受死尸，无诸秽浊，唯海之类而受之耳；吾僧法清净，亦如大海，不受秽恶，犯戒违禁，非清净梵行者，一不得受，弃之远之，犹海不受死尸，此第八之德。” 佛告目连：“如来大众唯清净，为禁戒业不纯非释种子，故吾不说戒耳。卿等善相敕戒，无令正法有毁。” 佛说如是，诸比丘欢喜奉行 现代汉语译本：大海之中，神龙居住的地方，有沙竭龙王、阿耨达龙王、难头龙王、和罗摩那龙王、私伊罗末龙王等，这些龙的功德难以估量，能够建造天宫，各种物品都依赖它们。我们僧团的佛法也是如此，四双八辈的修行者，十二贤者，菩萨大士，他们的教化功德，越来越兴盛美好，这是第六种功德。大海吞纳百川万流，长江恒河之水，没有不被它容纳的，日夜不停，没有满溢或枯竭的时候。我们僧团的佛法也是如此，婆罗门和刹帝利等种姓的人，来到僧团修习佛法，四种姓的贵族，无论是释迦族还是婆罗门族，甚至是国王的后裔，都舍弃世俗的尊贵，来接受正法的教化，即使是工匠或普通百姓，也来修习正法。虽然种族不同，但一旦修习大道，就成为一体，都是佛陀的弟子，这是第七种功德。大海清净，不接受死尸，没有污秽，只容纳海里的生物。我们僧团的佛法也像大海一样清净，不接受污秽邪恶，凡是犯戒违规，不是清净修行的人，一律不接受，远远地抛弃他们，就像大海不接受死尸一样，这是第八种功德。 佛陀告诉目连：‘如来的僧团是清净的，因为那些戒律不纯，不是佛陀弟子的人，我才不为他们说戒。你们要好好互相告诫，不要让正法受到损害。’ 佛陀说完这些话，所有的比丘都欢喜地接受并奉行。 English version: In the great ocean, where divine dragons dwell, there are the Dragon King Sagara, the Dragon King Anavatapta, the Dragon King Nanda, the Dragon King Harimana, and the Dragon King Sirimat. The virtues of these dragons are immeasurable; they can build celestial palaces, and all kinds of things depend on them. Our Sangha's Dharma is also like this, with the four pairs and eight types of practitioners, the twelve sages, and the great Bodhisattvas. Their teaching merits become increasingly prosperous and beautiful; this is the sixth virtue. The great ocean swallows hundreds of rivers and thousands of streams, including the waters of the Yangtze and Ganges, without exception. Day and night, it never overflows or dries up. Our Sangha's Dharma is also like this. People of Brahmin and Kshatriya castes come to the Sangha to practice the Dharma. Nobles of the four castes, whether of the Shakya or Brahmin lineage, even descendants of kings, abandon worldly honor to receive the teachings of the true Dharma. Even artisans or common people come to practice the true Dharma. Although their origins differ, once they practice the great path, they become one, all disciples of the Buddha. This is the seventh virtue. The great ocean is pure, not accepting corpses, and free from impurities, only accepting marine life. Our Sangha's Dharma is also pure like the great ocean, not accepting filth and evil. Those who violate precepts and rules, who are not pure practitioners, are not accepted at all and are cast far away, just as the ocean does not accept corpses. This is the eighth virtue. The Buddha told Maudgalyayana, 'The Tathagata's Sangha is pure. It is because those whose precepts are not pure and are not disciples of the Buddha that I do not speak the precepts for them. You should admonish each other well, and do not let the true Dharma be harmed.' After the Buddha spoke these words, all the monks joyfully accepted and practiced them. 。 现代汉语译本 English version
