English

It is said that if I say, what should those who practice Brahmacharya like you do? Also, It is said: The precepts that abide in nature, and those that are abandoned by the wisdom of abandonment, all that can be understood, it would be good if it could make the mute understand. Other teachers say: Because the precepts are taken with language, so abandonment should also be only with language, which is unreasonable, because the appearance of the body can also take the precepts. Saying that the precepts have not been destroyed is to show that it is the cause of abandonment. If it is said that not offering the precepts, etc., is said to the Bhikshus, then why is the Shramanera also mentioned incidentally? Because it is the occasion of the Bhikshus, so the Bhikshus are mentioned, therefore this is generally said. In this way, in the separate explanation, the word Bhikshu here is said to be based on one basis. The word "who" is a general indication. Therefore, it is said that all five groups should be included. The so-called person is the walker of people, and it is said to be the main of the walkers. Therefore, it should be known that women, hermaphrodites, and fetuses, etc., are also mentioned here. Here, the scripture says that it is a person or a person becoming. The so-called person becoming is the stage of the fetus, Nunu Bu, Lala Bu, and hardening. A person is the stage of a limb being crippled, a child, a teenager, an adult, a middle-aged person, and an old person. In the distinction, the so-called person becoming refers to the three roots, body, life, and mind, that are obtained in the mother's womb. The so-called person refers to the six roots, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, that are obtained. In this way, the five stages of the regulations and the five stages of the womb should be known to be of the same kind. Therefore, in the root distinction explanation, it is said that the Holy One Near Hidden said that if a fetus is killed, one will fall into the edge, and that from the womb to the age of twenty, one can receive the Upasampada ordination, which is the basis for the quotation.
