English version: ‘According to so-and-so lawyer.’ (Announcement) ‘If there are doubts, ask.’ (If it is not a Sangharama (monastery), the words about repairing damaged buildings must be removed. If it is a later retreat, only say ‘the next three months’ as a distinction). Mindful Retreat Method (Follow the previous three sentences, but remove the first sentence). Receiving Accommodation Retreat Method (At that time, after the allocation of rooms and bedding is completed, without mental or verbal declaration, if doubts arise, report to the Buddha. The Buddha said: ‘Accepting accommodation and bedding for the sake of the retreat also constitutes a retreat.’ Since it is said that there is no mental declaration, there should be a mindful retreat saying). Receiving the Boundary-Exiting Day Method (The text says: An elder invited monks, but the monks were afraid to accept, which led to resentment and scolding. The Buddha said: ‘Whether there is an invitation or not, one must go outside the boundary, and all are allowed to return within seven days.’ Also, some non-Buddhists wanted to channel water into Jetavana (祇桓: Jetavana, a famous monastery), and the king went on a punitive expedition and wanted to consult and report. The Buddha said: ‘If there are matters concerning the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, or private matters, beyond the seven days, it is further allowed to receive fifteen nights or thirty nights through a formal motion (白二羯磨).’ Counting by nights is different from other schools. Whether the conditions are suitable or not, the teachings are naturally clear. Whether to receive again or not depends on the usual rules. If there are two difficulties, it is permissible to break the precepts without guilt. Because permission does not imply repetition, the summer retreat does not break the accomplishment. Perhaps one can follow the text, since it is permissible to receive the distribution of summer robes there, the meaning of accomplishing the retreat there is also not lost). Karma (羯磨: Karma, formal monastic procedure) for Receiving Days. ‘Venerable Sangha, please listen! This Bhikkhu (比丘: Bhikkhu, Buddhist monk) so-and-so (某甲: so-and-so, placeholder for a name), wants to go out of the boundary for such-and-such a matter, and beyond the seven days, receives again (fifteen nights, or thirty nights), and returns to this retreat. If the Sangha is ready, may the Sangha tolerate and listen. I report thus.’ ‘Venerable Sangha, please listen, this Bhikkhu so-and-so, wants to go out of the boundary for such-and-such a matter, and beyond the seven days, receives again (fifteen nights, or thirty nights), and returns to this retreat. Whoever among the elders tolerates, let them be silent; those who do not tolerate, please speak.’ ‘The Sangha has already granted so-and-so to receive again (fifteen nights, or thirty nights) to go out of the boundary. The Sangha tolerates, because of the silence, this matter is thus maintained.’ Three-Sentence Receiving Day Method (Vinaya -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 无受词，准羯磨说)。

English version: Without an object, according to the Karma (羯磨) procedure. 'Venerable elders, listen attentively! I, Bhikṣu (比丘) [name], wish to go outside the boundary for some matter, to receive the seven-day rule (受七日法) [the right to leave the Sangha (僧團) area for seven days], and return here for the Rainy Season Retreat (安居).’ (Recite three times) Seventh, the Pravāraṇā (自恣) procedure for the Sangha (僧等) [because of shared practice and potential transgressions, on the last day of the three-month summer retreat, the ground is prepared and grass is laid for the Sangha (比丘众) of properly ordained monks to perform Pravāraṇā (自恣), inviting others to point out faults]. The procedure for appointing a person to receive Pravāraṇā (差受自恣人法) [assemble the Sangha (僧), following the usual procedures. A person with five virtues should be appointed to receive, namely, not following desire, anger, delusion, or fear, and knowing what is the right time and what is not.

“除上八人，自下同岁一处坐自恣。(若自恣犹迟，应白众云也)。各各相向自恣。” 四人已下自恣法(自恣法中虽无此文，准于布萨及他部说。三语、心念亦通有云也)。 四人对首自恣法。 “三大德一心念！今日众僧自恣，我某甲比丘清净。”(三说。人各施设表己清净，应他自恣。三人二人亦如是)。 一人心念自恣法。 “今日众自恣，我心念受自恣。”(三说。其说欲如前布萨，俱改“自恣”为异。《僧祇》自恣不听说欲，恐避举罪故。今不同之)。 尼差人自恣法(佛言：“比丘尼不得共比丘自恣。应先集众自恣，然后差人就比丘僧请见闻疑罪。”《四分》云：“若僧尼满五不至自恣，然后差人就比丘僧请见闻疑罪。”《四分》云：“若僧尼不满五，至自恣日，比丘尼至比丘所礼拜问讯。”义准若各满五，应集僧索欲，问缘，答云：“差自恣羯磨。”应云)。 “阿姨僧听！今差比丘尼某甲，为比丘尼僧故往大僧中请见闻疑罪。若僧时到僧忍听。白如是。”“阿姨僧听！今差比丘尼某甲，为比丘尼僧故往大僧中请见闻疑罪。谁诸长老忍，默然；不忍者说。”“僧已差比丘尼某甲，为比丘尼僧故往大僧中请见闻疑罪竟。僧忍，默然故 现代汉语译本： （开始时，向大众宣告）。 ‘除了以上八人，其余的人按照年龄大小依次坐在一起进行自恣。（如果自恣的时间还未到，应该向大众宣告）。’各自面对面进行自恣。 四人及以下的自恣法（自恣法中虽然没有这段文字，但参照布萨以及其他部的说法。通过语言、心念表达也是可以的）。 四人面对面自恣法。 ‘三位大德请一心念！今日僧众进行自恣，我某甲（姓名）比丘是清净的。’（重复三次。每个人各自陈述表明自己的清净，回应他人的自恣。三人、两人也是如此）。 一人心念自恣法。 ‘今日僧众自恣，我心念接受自恣。’（重复三次。其陈述的意愿如同之前的布萨，只是将‘自恣’改为不同的说法。《僧祇律》中自恣不听取意愿，恐怕是为了避免被举罪。现在不同于那种做法）。 比丘尼派遣使者自恣法（佛说：‘比丘尼不得与比丘一起自恣。应该先集合僧众进行自恣，然后派遣使者去比丘僧团请求指出见、闻、疑罪。’《四分律》说：‘如果比丘尼僧团满五人但未到自恣的时候，然后派遣使者去比丘僧团请求指出见、闻、疑罪。’《四分律》说：‘如果比丘尼僧团不满五人，到了自恣日，比丘尼到比丘处礼拜问讯。’按照这个意思，如果各自都满五人，应该集合僧众索取意愿，询问缘由，回答说：‘派遣使者进行自恣羯磨。’应该这样说）。 ‘阿姨僧（比丘尼僧团）请听！现在派遣比丘尼某甲（姓名），为了比丘尼僧团的缘故，前往大僧（比丘僧团）中请求指出见、闻、疑罪。如果僧团时间到了，僧团允许，请听我的宣告。’‘阿姨僧请听！现在派遣比丘尼某甲，为了比丘尼僧团的缘故，前往大僧中请求指出见、闻、疑罪。哪位长老允许，就默然；不允许的人请说出来。’‘僧团已经派遣比丘尼某甲，为了比丘尼僧团的缘故，前往大僧中请求指出见、闻、疑罪完毕。僧团允许，因为默然的缘故。’

English version: (Beginning with announcing to the assembly). 'Except for the above eight people, the rest should sit together according to their age to perform Pravarana (self-surrender). (If the time for Pravarana is not yet reached, it should be announced to the assembly).' Each should face each other to perform Pravarana. The method of Pravarana for four or fewer people (Although this text is not found in the Pravarana method, it is based on the rules of Uposatha and other schools. Expressing through speech or thought is also acceptable). The method of Pravarana for four people facing each other. 'Three great virtuous ones, please concentrate your minds! Today the Sangha is performing Pravarana, I, Bhikshu (name), am pure.' (Repeat three times. Each person states their own purity and responds to the Pravarana of others. The same applies to three or two people). The method of Pravarana for one person through thought. 'Today the Sangha is performing Pravarana, I accept Pravarana in my mind.' (Repeat three times. The expression of intention is like the previous Uposatha, but the word 'Pravarana' is changed to a different expression. In the Sarvastivada Vinaya, Pravarana does not listen to intentions, perhaps to avoid being accused of offenses. Now it is different from that practice). The method of Bhikshuni (nun) sending a messenger for Pravarana (The Buddha said: 'Bhikshunis should not perform Pravarana together with Bhikshus. They should first gather the Sangha to perform Pravarana, and then send a messenger to the Bhikshu Sangha to request them to point out any offenses seen, heard, or suspected.' The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says: 'If the Bhikshuni Sangha has five or more members but has not reached the time for Pravarana, then send a messenger to the Bhikshu Sangha to request them to point out any offenses seen, heard, or suspected.' The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says: 'If the Bhikshuni Sangha has fewer than five members, on the day of Pravarana, the Bhikshunis should go to the Bhikshus to pay respects and inquire.' According to this meaning, if each Sangha has five or more members, they should gather the Sangha to ask for intentions, inquire about the reasons, and answer: 'Sending a messenger to perform Pravarana Karma.' It should be said like this). 'Ayi Sangha (Bhikshuni Sangha), please listen! Now I send Bhikshuni (name), for the sake of the Bhikshuni Sangha, to go to the Maha Sangha (Bhikshu Sangha) to request them to point out any offenses seen, heard, or suspected. If the Sangha's time has come, and the Sangha permits, please listen to my announcement.' 'Ayi Sangha, please listen! Now I send Bhikshuni (name), for the sake of the Bhikshuni Sangha, to go to the Maha Sangha to request them to point out any offenses seen, heard, or suspected. Which elders permit, please remain silent; those who do not permit, please speak up.' 'The Sangha has already sent Bhikshuni (name), for the sake of the Bhikshuni Sangha, to go to the Maha Sangha to request them to point out any offenses seen, heard, or suspected. The Sangha permits, because of the silence.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
