仅仅因为有产生增上慢的过失,为了断除它,应当谨慎断除对四禅的执着,因为有知者释迦牟尼所说的生起释迦牟尼的基础——四圣谛,应当学习并且努力。如此学习,就能平息痛苦,调伏身语,恒常具有正念,守护或救护忆念安住的自心,获得无忧、灭尽生、寂灭涅槃。第六,持光佛的布萨是:他们的声闻弟子们虽然过失很小,但是仅仅有不喜欢布施和看待敌人众多的想法,为了断除它,通过布施,将在具有受用之轮回中,善妙的福德得以增长,如果以戒律善加调伏,就不会有杀盗等敌人的因缘。因为具有禅定的功德,就能完全断除愤怒等恶业成熟为不悦意果报,通过无漏智慧灭尽烦恼,从而获得有余涅槃和无余涅槃。自宗认为,布施等三种福德依次是殊胜的、无上的、无漏的,这样宣说,似乎是存在的。第七,释迦牟尼佛的布萨是:在十二年间,教法安住无损,在半月布萨时,不做任何罪恶,这是戒律的学处;行持圆满的善业,这是智慧的学处;调伏自心,这是增上心的学处。这三者是佛陀薄伽梵的教法。身体的调伏是好的,语言的调伏也是好的,心的调伏是好的,三门或者一切处的调伏都是好的。完全调伏的僧人,是戒律圆满者。从一切痛苦中解脱出来,是戒律的果报。如何解脱呢?守护语言,以意善加调伏,不做身体的不善业,如果善加行持这三门的三种业道,就能获得仙人所说的无漏之道。第二,劝诫努力修持:毗婆尸佛、顶髻佛和一切

Merely because there is the fault of generating arrogance, in order to abandon it, one should be careful to abandon the attachment to the four meditations, because the basis for generating the Buddha, the Four Noble Truths, spoken by the knowledgeable Shakyamuni, should be studied and diligently practiced. By studying in this way, suffering will be pacified, body and speech will be subdued, and by always having mindfulness, one will protect or save one's own mind, which is the abiding of mindfulness, and attain freedom from sorrow, the exhaustion of birth, and the transcendence of sorrow, Nirvana. Sixth, the Uposatha of Kashyapa Buddha: His Shravaka disciples have minor faults, but only dislike giving and view enemies as numerous, so in order to abandon that, through giving, the merit of happiness in the cycle of enjoyment will greatly increase, and if well disciplined by morality, the cause of enemies, killing, stealing, etc., will not occur. By possessing the virtue of meditation, one will completely abandon the ripening of anger and other sins into undesirable results, and by exhausting the afflictions with the uncontaminated, one will attain the Nirvana with remainder and the Nirvana without remainder. The three merits of one's own view are shown to be, in order, the supreme, the unsurpassed, and the uncontaminated, so it seems to exist. Seventh, the Uposatha of Shakyamuni Buddha: For twelve years, the teachings remained without fault, and at the time of reciting the half-monthly Uposatha, one should not commit any sins, which is the training of morality; practice perfectly virtuous deeds, which is the training of wisdom; and subdue one's own mind, which is the training of higher mind. These three are the teachings of the Buddha, the Bhagavan. The discipline of the body is good, the discipline of speech is also good, the discipline of the mind is good, the discipline of the three doors or all places is good. A fully disciplined monk is one who is perfect in morality. Liberation from all suffering is the fruit of morality. How is one liberated? Guard the speech and subdue the mind well, do not commit unwholesome deeds of the body, and if one practices well these three paths of action of the three doors, one will attain the uncontaminated path spoken by the supreme sage. Second, the advice to strive diligently in that: Buddha Vipashyin, Buddha Sikhin, and all

顶礼救护、断灭轮回、金寂、光护、释迦牟尼正士乔达摩的种姓神,诸天之天人等调伏所化,如马之士以不颠倒的方式调御,是无上三有之怙主,救护所化众生不逾时节,是具足无上智慧之殊胜佛陀智慧等一切有情,以七勇士等具足美名者之别解脱,此乃最初行事与祈请后,五种教诲皆极广弘扬,由此诸佛与彼佛之声闻等亦以恭敬此律藏,以恭敬别解脱而获得无为涅槃。第二,舍弃轮回:当以精进发起,为必从轮回中解脱而出,故当往寂静处。当以精进于佛陀之教法四谛而入。如象行于芦苇之家而摧毁,如是当摧毁并去除死主之军众贪爱等。何者彻底舍弃放逸,以正念于八支圣道所摄之律藏如实修习,以随修而行者,彼乃彻底舍弃轮回痛苦之根源——生之轮回,即彻底舍弃后,能令生等痛苦于最后断绝相续。第三,守护戒律:互相劝诫,从堕罪中救起,是守护戒律,为令教法与四众增长安住,以宣说此五种别解脱经之门,僧众乃于寂静和合之羯磨,于此乃作和合之羯磨。守护戒律等为何宣说经,守护戒律等为何作成和合之羯磨?此戒律当守护,如寒冷雪山中之野牦牛以正念守护尾巴,不伸展尾巴如狐狸尾,尾端翘起而行一般。

I prostrate to the lineage deities of the savior, the destroyer of cyclic existence, Golden Sage, Light Protector, and Shakyamuni, the righteous Gautama. By subduing beings such as gods and humans, and guiding individuals like horses in a non-perverted manner, you are the unsurpassed protector of the three realms of existence. Saving beings without delay, you are the supreme Buddha wisdom, possessing unsurpassed knowledge. With all beings, the seven heroes and others who possess beautiful names, this individual liberation is what was initially done and requested. The five teachings were greatly expanded, and through this, all Buddhas and their disciples also respectfully adhere to this Vinaya Pitaka, and by respectfully observing individual liberation, may they attain unconditioned Nirvana. Secondly, abandoning samsara: One should initiate with diligence and must emerge from samsara, therefore, go to a solitary place. One should enter the Buddha's teachings through diligence in the four truths. Just as an elephant destroys a house of reeds by walking through it, so too should one destroy and remove the armies of the Lord of Death, such as craving. Whoever completely abandons carelessness and cultivates the Dharma-Vinaya, which is gathered by the eightfold noble path, with mindfulness, that person, by practicing accordingly, will completely abandon the root of suffering in samsara—the cycle of birth—and, having completely abandoned it, will cause the suffering of birth and so on to cease in the end. Thirdly, guarding morality: mutually admonishing each other and rescuing each other from downfalls is guarding morality. In order to increase and maintain the doctrine and the four assemblies, through the door of reciting these five individual liberation sutras, the Sangha performs the karma of peaceful harmony, and here, the karma of harmony is performed. Why is the sutra recited for guarding morality, etc., and why is the karma of harmony performed for guarding morality, etc.? This morality should be guarded, just as a wild yak in the cold snowy mountains guards its tail with mindfulness, not stretching its tail like a fox's tail, but raising the tip and walking in that way.
