为了清净殊胜的意和智慧,进行寂止的布萨,以及为了遮止未来世的续生,止息此生的烦恼,清净殊胜的戒律,而进行的随顺布萨,在这两者中,先稍微讲述后者的意义。即十四布萨,十五布萨,吉祥布萨,遣除灾难布萨,和合布萨这五种。第一种,通过区分日期和时辰的差别,每年有六个十四布萨。如《历算》中所说:嘉月、畏月、萨嘎月,以及,水上月、仲秋月、弥絅月等,这些月份的黑分,是月半十四布萨。这样说。第二种是上弦的十二个初十,以及从弥絅月(藏历十月)到仲秋月(藏历八月)之间的六个下弦,共十八个。其中,关于延期的规定,说是要遵循国王的行动,这是考虑到他的周围会有精通历算的人才。为什么呢?因为要知道星宿是要遵循星算师的。通过这些可以明白。第三种是,为了消除僧侣大天所规定的十种不应为之事,以及在开光等吉祥的时刻进行,所以这样称呼。第四种是,为了遣除疾病瘟疫等世间突然发生的衰败,或者为了使其不再发生而进行的。第五种是,为了使僧团和合而进行的布萨。这样,这三种不确定时间的布萨,在祈请的仪轨中,只是在各自的时间上有所区别而已。这里,对于两种确定时间的布萨,如果划定大的界限,就在那里进行;如果划定大小两种界限,就从小界限开始,引入大界限等,按照实践进行。而进行者是五种出家众。也就是从前一次布萨到今天之间,检查自己是否犯了堕落,如果犯了,就要按照忏悔、防护和加持的次第进行。之后,召集僧众的犍椎的材料是,经中说:旃檀、毗罗、巴拉夏,阿湿树和他,红旃檀,大树,塔鲁,金树迦,喜沙巴和塔玛拉,芒果,星布,海棠子,丁迪,萨拉,无忧花。如果这些都没有,还有欧赛拉。

To purify the mind and wisdom, the practice of Shamatha Posadha, and to prevent the continuation of future lives, to stop the defilements of this life, and to purify the superior morality, the practice of Samanvaya Posadha. Among these two, I will briefly explain the meaning of the latter. These are the fourteen Posadha, the fifteen Posadha, the auspicious Posadha, the disaster-repelling Posadha, and the reconciling Posadha, these five. The first one, by distinguishing the differences between days and hours, there are six fourteen Posadhas each year. As it is said in the 'Astrology': 'The waxing months of Gyal, Dawa, Saga, and Chuto, Chumto, and Min Drug, these are the dark sides, the half-month fourteen Posadha.' So it is said. The second is the twelve waxing tenth days, and the six waning phases from Min Drug (tenth month of the Tibetan calendar) to Chumto (eighth month of the Tibetan calendar), which makes eighteen. Also, the rule of postponement is said to follow the king's actions, which is based on the consideration that there will be talented astrologers around him. Why? Because it should be known that the constellations follow the astrologer. This can be understood through these. The third is to eliminate the ten inappropriate things stipulated by the monk Mahadeva, and to perform them at auspicious times such as consecration, so it is called that. The fourth is to prevent sudden declines in the world such as diseases and epidemics, or to prevent them from happening again. The fifth is the Posadha performed to reconcile the Sangha. Thus, these three indefinite-time Posadhas are only different in the way they express their respective times in the invocation ritual. Here, for the two definite-time Posadhas, if a large boundary is drawn, it is performed there; if both large and small boundaries are drawn, it starts from the small boundary and enters the large boundary, etc., according to practice. And the person who performs it is the five classes of ordained people. That is, from the time of the previous Posadha until today, examine whether you have committed any transgressions, and if you have, follow the order of confession, protection, and blessing. Then, the materials for the Ghandi to gather the Sangha are: In the Sutra it says: Chandana, Bilva, Palasha. Ashvattha and red Chandana. Large tree, Taru, Kimshuka. Shimshapa and Tamala. Mango, Starbu, crabapple. Tindi, Sara, Ashoka. If all these are not available, there is also Olsela.
