(No need to face the object, one should already possess proper deportment, as previously stated). 'I, so-and-so, have committed a dukkata (a minor offense) regarding wearing clothing improperly. Now, with a repentant heart, I confess my transgression.' (Said once) Tenth: Miscellaneous Practices for Maintaining the Dharma (Cultivating cessation and action together, benefiting oneself and others, presenting the teachings, practices, causes, and effects according to essentials. First, describe the tenets of this school, then refute the views of other schools). Practicing the Six Recollections (The Vinaya states: 'A bhiksu (monk) should know the number of days in the waxing and waning moon, know the Posadha (Uposatha, day of observance), and repent to purify himself.' It also states: 'One should first mentally offer food; if one eats without thinking of giving to others, it is a dukkata (minor offense).' However, the texts are scattered and not in order. The framework for the Six Recollections is found in the Sanghika, and now, based on that text, we use its meaning as the standard. Since it must be done constantly, it is recorded at the beginning). First: Recollecting and Knowing the Number of Days (One should say): 'Today is the first day of the waning dark moon.' (Up to the fourteenth day. If it is a major month, say 'major'. The waxing moon is always major and never minor, so one can say it accordingly). Second: Recollecting and Knowing the Place of Food (If one always begs for food, one should say): 'I always beg for food.' (If one eats monastic food, one should say) 'I eat monastic food.' (If one eats one's own food, one should say) 'I eat my own food.' (If one receives an invitation from someone and intends to go oneself, one should say) 'I eat at so-and-so's house.' (If one receives multiple invitations and cannot attend them all, one should attend one invitation oneself and give the rest to others. The recipients should only be bhiksus (monks) or sramaneras (novice monks). One should instruct the person to whom one is giving with the following words). 'Elder! So-and-so danapati (donor) has given me five portions of proper food. I have a reason why I cannot go, so now I give it to you.' (If time is pressing and there is no one to give it to, the Vinaya allows one to mentally give it to someone. One should make the thought): 'I request that this portion be given to so-and-so bhiksu (monk).' (If there is a reason for breaking the invitation, one should also explain it according to the situation. If there is no fixed place for food, one should say) 'I do not break invitations for food.' Third: Recollecting and Knowing the Number of Years of Acceptance (One should say): 'I, on such-and-such year, month, and day' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

有疑怖;或行伴无知,不知诵戒布萨羯磨;或彼方乞食难得持法律解律仪人、若好斗讼希破僧事;若彼方得病,无随病食药、无看病人。诸有一事,皆勿听去。弟子强去,得轻师波逸提。和上若不筹量听去,得突吉罗罪也)。 持律比丘来承迎祇供法(佛言:“今为诸比丘结初应学法。若闻持律者来,不应避去,应为扫洒整理屋舍及卧具,半由旬迎。疑难要当出,代担衣物、办水具。中设过中饮,应请说法。若实求解,应如法说。若触恼问,即不应答。旦为设前食后食,为求留安居。复应为求施衣檀越。应如是供养。若不尔,突吉罗罪。”)。 持律比丘有七种宜(一、多闻诸法;二、能筹量是法非法;三、筹量比丘尼;四、善摄师教;五、若到他处所说无畏;六、自住毗尼;七、知共不共戒之)。 应说戒人法(有一住处,跋难陀为上座,众僧请说戒。答曰:“诵忘。”诸比丘言:“若忘,何故在上座处?”以是白佛。佛言:“上座说戒,若不说,突吉罗。”不知齐几为上座?佛言:“于上无人,皆名上座。”)。 僧尼二众尊卑礼敬法(佛言:“从今听诸比丘随次礼上座。诸比丘尼礼一切比丘,亦随次相礼。式叉摩那礼一切比丘、比丘尼,亦随次相礼。沙弥亦如是。沙弥尼礼一切比丘、 现代汉语译本: 如果(前往的地方)有疑虑和恐惧;或者同行的人不了解情况,不知道如何诵戒、布萨(Upavasatha,斋戒)和羯磨(Karma,业);或者那个地方难以乞食,没有持守戒律、精通戒律的人,或者好争斗诉讼,希望破坏僧团的事情;或者那个地方容易生病,没有适合病人的食物和药物,也没有照顾病人的人。凡是有以上任何一种情况,都不要允许(弟子)前往。弟子执意要去,(和上)会犯轻师波逸提(Pācittiya,一种戒律罪名)。和上如果不仔细考虑就允许(弟子)前往,会犯突吉罗(Dukkata,一种轻微的戒律罪名)。 持律的比丘前来接受供养的仪轨(佛说:‘现在为各位比丘制定最初应该学习的仪轨。如果听说有持律的比丘前来,不应该回避离开,应该为他打扫整理房屋和卧具,到半由旬(Yojana,古印度长度单位)的地方迎接。有疑问一定要提出来,代他挑担衣物,准备饮水用具。中午准备过午饮品,应该请他说法。如果确实是求解,应该如法解说。如果问的问题带有冒犯性,就不应该回答。早晨为他准备早饭和午饭,请求他留下来安居。还要为他寻找布施衣服的施主。应该这样供养。如果不这样做,会犯突吉罗罪。’) 持律的比丘有七种适宜的条件(一、广泛听闻各种佛法;二、能够衡量什么是佛法,什么不是佛法;三、衡量比丘尼;四、善于领会师父的教导;五、如果到了其他地方,所说的话没有畏惧;六、自己安住于毗尼(Vinaya,戒律);七、知道共同遵守和不共同遵守的戒律)。 应该说戒的人的条件(有一个住处,跋难陀(Nanda)是上座,僧众请他说戒。他回答说:‘(我)背诵忘记了。’各位比丘说:‘如果忘记了,为什么还要在上座的位置上?’因此将此事禀告佛陀。佛陀说:‘上座说戒,如果不说,会犯突吉罗罪。’不知道多少资历才能成为上座?佛陀说:‘在(僧团)中没有比他更高的人,都可以称为上座。’) 僧团和尼众之间尊卑礼敬的仪轨(佛说:‘从今以后允许各位比丘按照次序礼敬上座。各位比丘尼礼敬所有的比丘,也按照次序互相礼敬。式叉摩那(Siksamana,学戒女)礼敬所有的比丘、比丘尼,也按照次序互相礼敬。沙弥(Sramanera,小沙弥)也像这样。沙弥尼(Sramanerika,小沙弥尼)礼敬所有的比丘、

English version: If there are doubts and fears (in the place to which one is going); or if the traveling companions are ignorant and do not know how to recite the precepts, perform the Upavasatha (fasting day), and the Karma (actions); or if it is difficult to obtain alms in that place, and there are no people who uphold the precepts, are well-versed in the Vinaya (discipline), or if they are fond of disputes and lawsuits, hoping to disrupt the Sangha (community); or if it is easy to get sick in that place, and there is no food or medicine suitable for the sick, and no one to take care of the sick. If any of the above conditions exist, do not allow (the disciple) to go. If the disciple insists on going, (the preceptor) will commit a minor offense of Pācittiya (an offense in the monastic code). If the preceptor allows (the disciple) to go without careful consideration, he will commit an offense of Dukkata (a minor offense). The proper conduct for a Vinaya-holding Bhikkhu (monk) who comes to receive offerings (The Buddha said: 'Now I will establish the initial practices that all Bhikkhus should learn. If you hear that a Vinaya-holding Bhikkhu is coming, you should not avoid him and leave, but should sweep and tidy the house and bedding for him, and greet him half a Yojana (an ancient Indian unit of distance) away. If there are doubts, be sure to raise them, carry his clothes and belongings for him, and prepare water for him. Prepare drinks for him at midday, and you should invite him to teach the Dharma. If he is truly seeking answers, you should explain the Dharma according to the rules. If the questions are offensive, you should not answer them. Prepare breakfast and lunch for him, and ask him to stay for the retreat. You should also seek out donors to provide him with robes. You should make offerings in this way. If you do not do so, you will commit an offense of Dukkata.') A Vinaya-holding Bhikkhu should have seven suitable qualities (1. He should have heard extensively about various Dharmas; 2. He should be able to discern what is Dharma and what is not Dharma; 3. He should be able to assess Bhikkhunis; 4. He should be good at understanding the teacher's instructions; 5. If he goes to other places, his words should be without fear; 6. He should abide in the Vinaya himself; 7. He should know the precepts that are to be observed in common and those that are not). The qualifications of a person who should recite the precepts (In one dwelling place, Nanda was the senior monk, and the Sangha asked him to recite the precepts. He replied: 'I have forgotten the recitation.' The Bhikkhus said: 'If you have forgotten, why are you in the position of senior monk?' Therefore, they reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said: 'If the senior monk recites the precepts, and does not recite them, he will commit an offense of Dukkata.' How much seniority is required to become a senior monk? The Buddha said: 'Anyone in (the Sangha) who has no one higher than him can be called a senior monk.') The proper etiquette of respect between the Sangha and the Bhikkhunis (The Buddha said: 'From now on, I allow all Bhikkhus to pay respects to the senior monks in order. All Bhikkhunis should pay respects to all Bhikkhus, and also pay respects to each other in order. Siksamana (a female trainee) should pay respects to all Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis, and also pay respects to each other in order. Sramanera (a novice monk) should also do the same.
