English version: 'Should receive the first seat, the first offering, and respectful prostrations. Thus, it should be practiced.' The *Sarvāstivāda Vinaya* says: 'One should let those who have received the full ordination go in front.' Please rely on the teachings of the *Ācārya* (When the *Upādhyāya* of the *Bhikṣus* passes away, because there is no *Upādhyāya* or *Ācārya*, wearing the upper and lower robes cannot be done according to the Dharma, all as mentioned above. The Buddha said: 'From now on, because of ten benefits, I allow the *Bhikṣus* to have an *Ācārya*.' The *Ācārya* naturally generates the mind to regard the disciple as a child, and the disciple naturally generates the mind to regard the *Ācārya* as a father, the matter is as described in the *Upādhyāya*. Upon arriving at the *Ācārya*, the text says, expose the right shoulder, take off the leather shoes, kneel on the right knee, and with palms together, request). 'Venerable One, please pay attention with one mind! I, so-and-so, now seek refuge in you. May you be my refuge, I will dwell relying on you, you should instruct me, and I should receive your instructions.' (The *Vinaya* does not say three times, but one time is sufficient. The *Ācārya* should answer) 'You must not be negligent.' Five kinds of uncommon speech (At that time, the group of six *Bhikṣus* did not respect the precepts, had no shame or remorse towards the teacher, and did not respect, love, or make offerings. The Buddha said: 'Five kinds of uncommon speech should be established.') First, you must not speak to me. Second, you must not tell me about all your possessions. Third, do not enter my room. Fourth, do not take my robes and bowl, and do not help me with the affairs of the Sangha. Fifth, do not come to see me. The disciple repents of transgressions (The Buddha said: 'When the teacher makes uncommon speech, the disciple should repent of transgressions.' Expose the right shoulder, kneel on the right knee, hold the teacher's feet with both hands, and say with extreme humility). 'I am young and ignorant, I dare not do it again.' (If the teacher accepts the repentance, the disciple's transgressions will be extinguished). The method of ordination for *Bhiksuni* (The *Samantapāsādikā* says: '*Nī* means woman, *Mā* means mother. It is called so because of the importance of the *Bhiksuni*. The *Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra* says: '*Nī* obtains immeasurable precepts, so it should be after the *Bhiksu*. The Buddha placed it after the *Śrāmaṇera* because the ceremony was inconvenient.')

其畜众羯磨及剃发出家等法，一一如比丘中说。唯和上须满十二岁，加尼字为异。其度沙弥尼、式叉摩那，大比丘尼并须别作畜众羯磨，以其年年度弟子犯罪故、或舍畜众法故。乞与之法并可准知，更不重述也)。 受式叉摩那戒法(律云：时诸比丘尼不先授弟子二岁戒，便受大戒。愚痴无知，不能学戒。佛言：“不应尔。犯者突吉罗。”《十诵》中，辄度妊娠女人，招致呵责。佛言：“与二岁羯磨，可知有无。”然六法净心、二岁净心，准《四分律》，十八童女、十岁曾嫁，各二岁学戒，满二十、十二已，受具足戒。依此律中，或可如是。或十八童女，以不劳苦，志节未成，与二岁法。十二曾嫁，为经劳苦，操行以成，即与受具足，不须学戒，但作白四羯磨量其堪不？故尼戒云：虽满十二岁已嫁女，而女聋哑种种诸病，诸比丘尼与受具足戒。愚痴无知，不能学戒。佛言：“今听诸比丘尼白四羯磨与满十二岁已嫁女人受具足戒。彼欲受戒人，应到比丘尼僧中白言：‘阿姨僧听！我某甲，已嫁，满十二岁，求某甲和上受具足戒。今从僧乞受具足戒。善哉！僧与我受具足戒，怜愍故。’如是三乞。诸比丘尼应筹量，可与受不可与受。”) 应一比丘尼羯磨如上(谓如上与畜众法中说，或可作羯磨，词句如上乞 现代汉语译本 关于尼众收徒的羯磨（Karma，业，行动），以及剃度出家等仪轨，都与比丘（Bhikkhu，男性出家人）中的规定相同。只有和尚（Upadhyaya，亲教师）的年龄必须满十二岁，并且在称谓上加上‘尼’字以示区别。度沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerikā，沙弥尼，女性出家预备者）、式叉摩那（Śikṣamāṇā，式叉摩那，学戒女）、大比丘尼（Bhikkhunī，比丘尼，正式女性出家人）时，都需要另外举行收徒羯磨，因为她们每年都会有弟子犯戒，或者舍弃出家修行的缘故。请求给予（戒律）的方法可以参照之前的规定，这里不再重复叙述。 受式叉摩那戒法（戒律中说：当时有些比丘尼不先给弟子授予为期两年的戒律，就直接授予她们具足戒（Upasampadā，具足戒，正式出家戒）。（导致这些弟子）愚痴无知，不能学习戒律。佛陀说：‘不应该这样做。违犯者犯突吉罗（Duṣkṛta，恶作，一种轻罪）。’《十诵律》中记载，有人擅自度妊娠的妇女出家，招致呵责。佛陀说：‘要给她们两年的羯磨，以确定她们是否怀孕。’然而，关于六法净心、二年净心，参照《四分律》，十八岁的童女、十岁曾嫁的女子，各自学习戒律两年，满二十岁、十二岁后，才能受具足戒。依照这部戒律，或许可以这样做。或者说，十八岁的童女，因为没有经历过劳苦，意志尚未成熟，所以要给她们两年的学戒期。十二岁曾嫁的女子，因为经历过劳苦，操行已经成熟，可以直接授予具足戒，不需要学戒，只需要通过白四羯磨（Jñapti-caturtha-karma，白四羯磨，一种僧团决议程序）来衡量她们是否堪能？所以尼戒中说：即使满了十二岁的已婚女子，如果她是聋哑或者患有其他疾病，比丘尼们仍然可以为她授予具足戒。如果（她们）愚痴无知，不能学习戒律。佛陀说：‘现在允许比丘尼们通过白四羯磨为满了十二岁的已婚女子授予具足戒。’想要受戒的人，应该到比丘尼僧团中禀告说：‘阿姨僧团请听！我某甲，已经结婚，满了十二岁，请求某甲和尚为我授予具足戒。现在向僧团请求授予具足戒。愿僧团慈悲怜悯，为我授予具足戒。’这样请求三次。比丘尼们应该衡量，可以授予还是不可以授予。） 应作的比丘尼羯磨如上（指如上文收徒法中所说，或者可以作羯磨，词句如上文乞戒时所说）。

English version The Karma (Karma, action) for admitting nuns, as well as the procedures for tonsure and ordination, are all the same as those for Bhikkhus (Bhikkhu, male monastic). Only the Upadhyaya (Upadhyaya, preceptor) must be at least twelve years old, and the term 'nī' is added to the title to indicate the difference. When ordaining Śrāmaṇerikās (Śrāmaṇerikā, female novice), Śikṣamāṇās (Śikṣamāṇā, probationary nuns), and Bhikkhunīs (Bhikkhunī, fully ordained nuns), separate Karma for admitting them is required, because their disciples commit offenses or abandon monastic practice every year. The method for requesting (the precepts) can be referred to the previous regulations, and will not be repeated here. The method for receiving the Śikṣamāṇā precepts (The Vinaya says: At that time, some Bhikkhunīs did not first give their disciples two years of precepts, but directly gave them the Upasampadā (Upasampadā, full ordination). (This caused these disciples to be) ignorant and unable to learn the precepts. The Buddha said: 'It should not be done like this. Those who violate it commit a Duṣkṛta (Duṣkṛta, wrong doing, a minor offense).' The *Daśabhāṇavāra* (*Ten Recitations Vinaya*) records that someone arbitrarily ordained pregnant women, which led to censure. The Buddha said: 'Give them two years of Karma to determine whether they are pregnant.' However, regarding the purification of the six dharmas and the two years of purification, according to the *Caturvargīya Vinaya* (*Four-Part Vinaya*), eighteen-year-old virgins and ten-year-old married women each study the precepts for two years, and after reaching the age of twenty and twelve, respectively, they can receive the Upasampadā. According to this Vinaya, perhaps it can be done this way. Or, eighteen-year-old virgins, because they have not experienced hardship and their will has not matured, should be given two years of study. Twelve-year-old married women, because they have experienced hardship and their conduct has matured, can be directly given the Upasampadā without needing to study the precepts, but only through the Jñapti-caturtha-karma (Jñapti-caturtha-karma, formal act of the Sangha) to measure whether they are capable? Therefore, the nuns' precepts say: Even if a married woman is twelve years old, if she is deaf, mute, or has other illnesses, the Bhikkhunīs can still give her the Upasampadā. If (they) are ignorant and unable to learn the precepts. The Buddha said: 'Now I allow the Bhikkhunīs to give the Upasampadā to married women who are twelve years old through the Jñapti-caturtha-karma.' The person who wants to receive the precepts should go to the Bhikkhunī Sangha and report: 'Aunt Sangha, please listen! I, so-and-so, am married and twelve years old, and I request so-and-so Upadhyaya to give me the Upasampadā. Now I ask the Sangha to give me the Upasampadā. May the Sangha be compassionate and give me the Upasampadā.' Request this three times. The Bhikkhunīs should consider whether to give it or not.) The Bhikkhunī Karma that should be performed is as above (referring to what was said above in the method of admitting disciples, or Karma can be performed, and the wording is as in the above request for precepts). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 词中说，更不别说羯磨之词)。

English version: The text says, not to mention the words of Karma (羯磨, Karma). Some virtuous ones say: This text (is the full ordination. Now, with multiple meanings, it is known not to be ordination. However, please ask the Sangha to consider what is appropriate, and if you do not ask the upholders of the Dharma, please consider it yourself in detail). Requesting the Dharma of learning the precepts for two years (The Buddha said: 'Those who wish to learn the precepts should go to the Bhikkhuni Sangha (比丘尼僧, community of nuns) and request three times.

I, so-and-so (某甲, name), preceptor so-and-so (和上, Upadhyaya, preceptor), now request from the Sangha two years of learning the precepts. Good venerable Sangha! Grant me two years of learning the precepts, out of compassion.'
