English version: 'Named pure conduct of Brahma (Brahmacarya, pure conduct). The second is to stay away from hustle and bustle, stay alone in a quiet place, focus on one place, and dislike too much grammar. Practicing the twelve dhutas (dhuta, ascetic practices) with great depth, the mind is not tired or bored, as urgent as saving one's own head. The third is to sweep the stupa (stupa) to coat the ground, give willow branches (toothbrush) and clean counters (counters for counting), and bear all kinds of hard labor to eliminate obstacles and sins. The fourth is to sit upright without lying down at six times day and night, not greedy for sleep, leaning on the side of the body, and like to be often in the cemetery, under the tree, in the aranya (aranya, quiet place), eating as simple as a deer, and dying as natural as a deer. If there are four disciples who practice these four methods of practice, they should know that this person is an ascetic. With such ascetic practices, one will soon be able to attain the four sramana-phalas (sramana-phala, the four fruits of practice and enlightenment).' The Buddha told Ananda (Ananda, one of the Buddha's ten major disciples): 'If there are four disciples who practice the method of mindfulness, and even observe a small part of the white bone phase at the end of the toe or finger, and it is extremely clear and clear, if you see a finger, or a fingernail, all the white bones. It should be known that this person will surely be reborn in the Tusita Heaven (Tusita Heaven, the pure land where Maitreya Bodhisattva lives) after his death because his mind is very keen, and he will eliminate all the pain and suffering of the three evil realms (three evil realms, hell, hungry ghosts, and animals). Although not yet liberated, he will not fall into the evil path. It should be known that this person's merits will not disappear, and he will be able to avoid the suffering of the three evil paths (three evil paths, hell, hungry ghosts, and animals), let alone those who fully contemplate the white bones. Those who see this white bone contemplation, although they have not yet attained the un-leaked merits, should know that this person has been spared all the suffering and difficulties of the three evil paths and eight difficulties (eight difficulties, referring to the eight situations in which there is no opportunity to hear the Dharma), and should know that this person will not be separated from seeing the Buddha in all his lives, and will surely hear the Dharma and attain liberation at the first assembly of Maitreya (Maitreya, the future Buddha) at the Dragon Flower Tree in the future.' The Buddha told Ananda: 'If there are bhiksus (bhiksu, ordained male), bhiksunis (bhiksuni, ordained female), upasakas (upasaka, lay male), and upasikas (upasika, lay female) who, in the Buddha-dharma, are greedy and insatiable in order to obtain benefits, and falsely pretend to do evil for the sake of good reputation, but do not actually practice meditation, and their bodies and mouths are unrestrained, and they claim to be practicing meditation because they are greedy for benefits. Such a bhiksu has committed the sthulatyaya (sthulatyaya, a minor offense). If he does not speak out after the time has passed, and does not correct and repent himself, he will commit the samghavasesa (samghavasesa, a serious offense second only to parajika) after a short time. If one or two days pass, it should be known that this bhiksu is a thief among gods and humans, and the head of the raksasas (raksasa, evil spirits), and will surely fall into the evil path and commit a great crime. If a bhiksuni is charming and seductive and wants to obtain benefits, she is like a cat waiting for a mouse.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'In this world, if there are Bhikshus (monks), Bhikshunis (nuns), Upasakas (male lay devotees), Upasikas (female lay devotees) who truly cultivate pure conduct (Brahmacharya), adorn themselves with the twelve Dhuta practices, focus their minds on Samadhi, and practice the contemplation of white bones (Asubha-bhavana). Contemplating impurity and entering deep states, their minds and eyes become clear and sharp, understanding the methods of Dhyana. Such fourfold assemblies, for the sake of increasing the Buddha-dharma and preventing its extinction, should keep their body, speech, and mind secret. It is like someone who encounters physical and mental illness, and a good doctor prescribes the finest ghee (clarified butter, metaphor for the Dharma). Then the patient goes to the king to beg for ghee, and the king, out of compassion, bestows the ghee upon him, instructing the patient on how to take it. He should drink it in a secret room, free from wind and dust, and after drinking, close his mouth and regulate the four great elements (earth, water, fire, wind) so they are not imbalanced. If Bhikshus or Bhikshunis take this nectar-like, crown-anointing medicine, they should not reveal it to others except to a Dharma-knowing teacher who can instruct them. If they tell others, they will lose their attainment and also commit the thirteenth Sanghavasesa offense (a serious offense second only to Parajika). If laypeople wish to practice Dhyana and attain the five supernormal powers (Abhijna), they should not reveal it to others, saying, 'I have attained supernormal powers, magical spells,' everything should be kept secret; how much more so for ordained monks who have received the full precepts (Bhikkhu-pāṭimokkha). If they attain the contemplation of impurity or even the warmth stage (preliminary experience in meditation), they should not reveal it to others. If they tell others, they will lose their attainment and cause many beings to develop doubts about the Buddha-dharma. Therefore, I now, in this assembly, instruct all Bhikshus and Bhikshunis that if they attain the contemplation of impurity or even the warmth stage, they should practice secretly to make their minds clear and sharp, only speaking to a wise teacher who can instruct them, and not widely spreading it to others. If they tell others with a mind seeking profit and offerings, they immediately commit the thirteenth Sanghavasesa offense. If they do not repent in time and have no sense of shame, they also commit a grave offense as described above.'" Furthermore, Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha, known for his strong memory)! After the Buddha's Parinirvana (death), when there is no Buddha present, the fourfold assembly of disciples who seek liberation, if they attain the contemplation of impurity, should secretly hide it and not let others know. It is like someone who is poor and lonely, born in a turbid and evil age, under the rule of an immoral king. That poor person digs the earth seeking water, and due to past karmic connections, suddenly encounters a hidden treasure and obtains great jewels. Fearing the evil king, he secretly hides these treasures and does not let others know, but only takes them out in secret places to use. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
