English version Now I ask you, venerable ones! Is there purity here? Is there purity here? Is there purity here?' 'Venerable ones! There is purity here, because of silence. Let this matter be held as such.' (End of the four matters) 'Venerable ones! These are the thirteen Saṃghāvaśeṣa (saṃghāvaśeṣa, offenses requiring initial and subsequent meetings of the Sangha) rules, recited in the Pāṭimokkha (prātimokṣa, code of monastic rules) every half-month.' 'If a bhikkhu intentionally emits semen, except in a dream, it is a Saṃghāvaśeṣa.' 'If a bhikkhu, with lustful thoughts, engages in bodily contact with a woman, whether by grasping her hand, grasping her hair, or touching any other part of her body, and enjoys the pleasure of that touch, it is a Saṃghāvaśeṣa.' 'If a bhikkhu, with lustful thoughts, speaks to a woman with foul and wicked words, words that pertain to lust, like those spoken between young men and women, it is a Saṃghāvaśeṣa.' 'If a bhikkhu, with lustful thoughts, praises himself before a woman, saying: 'Sister! I, a śrāmaṇa (śrāmaṇa, wandering ascetic), uphold pure precepts, practice good conduct, and live the holy life. Offering oneself through sexual acts is the highest form of offering.' It is a Saṃghāvaśeṣa.' 'If a bhikkhu acts as a go-between for a man and a woman, whether for marriage or for a secret liaison, even for a short time, it is a Saṃghāvaśeṣa.' 'If a bhikkhu requests the construction of a dwelling for himself, without a patron, it should be built according to the prescribed measure: twelve Sugata vidasti (sugata vidasti, the span of the Buddha's hand) in length and seven vidasti in width. He should show the bhikkhus the site where the dwelling is to be built, a place free from difficulties and obstructions. If he requests the construction of a dwelling for himself in a difficult or obstructed place, without a patron, and does not show the bhikkhus the site, and builds it exceeding the prescribed measure, it is a Saṃghāvaśeṣa.' 'If a bhikkhu builds a large dwelling with a patron, he should point out to the bhikkhus a site free from difficulties and obstructions. If he builds in a difficult or obstructed place, with a patron, and does not point out the site to the bhikkhus, it is a Saṃghāvaśeṣa.' 'If a bhikkhu, out of anger and displeasure, falsely accuses a pure and innocent bhikkhu of a Pārājika (pārājika, defeat) offense, intending to destroy that bhikkhu's pure conduct, whether this matter is later investigated or not,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

便言:‘是事无根,我住瞋恨故说。’僧伽婆尸沙。 “若比丘,瞋恨不喜故,于异分中小小事非波罗夷,以波罗夷法谤,欲坏彼比丘梵行。此于后时若检校若不检校,便言:‘我以异分中小小事,住瞋恨故说。’僧伽婆尸沙。 “若比丘,为破和合僧故,勤方便执破僧事故共诤。诸比丘应谏言:‘长老!莫为破和合僧故勤方便执破僧事故共诤,当与僧同事。何以故?僧和合欢喜不诤,共一学如水乳合,如法说法照明安乐住。’如是谏时舍者善;若不舍应第二、第三谏,舍是事善;若不舍,僧伽婆尸沙。 “若比丘,同意相助,若一、若二、若众多,同语、同见欲破和合僧。诸比丘谏时,是同意比丘言:‘长老!莫说是比丘好恶事。何以故?是法语比丘、律语比丘,是比丘所说所见欲忍可事,我等亦欲忍可。是比丘知说、非不知说。’诸比丘应谏言:‘长老!莫作是语:“是法语比丘、律语比丘。”何以故?此非法语比丘、律语比丘。诸长老!莫助破僧事,当乐助和合僧。何以故?僧和合欢喜不诤,共一学如水乳合,如法说法照明安乐住。’如是谏时舍者善;若不舍应第二、第三谏,舍是事善;若不舍,僧伽婆尸沙。 “若比丘,自用戾语,诸比丘共法中如法、如律教时,便自用意言:‘长 现代汉语译本:然后(该比丘)会说:‘这件事没有根据,我是因为心怀瞋恨才说的。’ 这构成僧伽婆尸沙(Sanghavasesa,僧残罪)。 若有比丘,因为瞋恨不悦,就用非波罗夷(Parajika,断头罪)的异分中小事,来诽谤其他比丘犯了波罗夷罪,想要破坏那位比丘的梵行。之后,如果经过检校或者没有经过检校,(该比丘)便会说:‘我是因为异分中小小事,心怀瞋恨才说的。’ 这构成僧伽婆尸沙(Sanghavasesa,僧残罪)。 若有比丘,为了破坏僧团的和合,勤加方便,执持破坏僧团的事情,共同争论。众比丘应当劝谏说:‘长老!不要为了破坏僧团的和合而勤加方便,执持破坏僧团的事情,共同争论,应当与僧团同心同德。为什么呢?僧团和合,欢喜不争,共同学习,如同水乳交融,如法说法,光明安乐地居住。’ 这样劝谏时,如果(该比丘)舍弃(破僧之事)就好;如果不舍弃,应当第二次、第三次劝谏,舍弃这件事就好;如果不舍弃,就构成僧伽婆尸沙(Sanghavasesa,僧残罪)。 若有比丘,同意相助,或者一个、或者两个、或者众多,同一种说法、同一种见解,想要破坏僧团的和合。众比丘劝谏时,那些同意的比丘会说:‘长老!不要说那位比丘的好坏。为什么呢?那位比丘是说法语的比丘、说律语的比丘,那位比丘所说所见想要认可的事情,我们也想要认可。那位比丘知道该说什么、不该说什么。’ 众比丘应当劝谏说:‘长老!不要说这样的话:“那位比丘是说法语的比丘、说律语的比丘。” 为什么呢?此人不是说法语的比丘、说律语的比丘。诸位长老!不要帮助破坏僧团的事情,应当乐于帮助和合僧团。为什么呢?僧团和合,欢喜不争,共同学习,如同水乳交融,如法说法,光明安乐地居住。’ 这样劝谏时,如果(该比丘)舍弃(破僧之事)就好;如果不舍弃,应当第二次、第三次劝谏,舍弃这件事就好;如果不舍弃,就构成僧伽婆尸沙(Sanghavasesa,僧残罪)。 若有比丘,自以为是,言语乖戾,众比丘在佛法中如法、如律教导他时,便自以为是地说:‘长

English version: Then he would say: 'This matter is without basis; I spoke because I was dwelling in hatred.' This constitutes a Sanghavasesa (Sanghavasesa, a formal meeting of the Sangha). If a bhikkhu, out of hatred and displeasure, accuses another bhikkhu of a Parajika (Parajika, defeat) offense with regard to a minor matter pertaining to a different category, wishing to ruin the brahmacariya (brahmacariya, holy life) of that bhikkhu, and later, whether investigated or not, he says: 'I spoke because I was dwelling in hatred with regard to a minor matter pertaining to a different category.' This constitutes a Sanghavasesa (Sanghavasesa, a formal meeting of the Sangha). If a bhikkhu, intending to break up the Sangha (Sangha, monastic community) that is in concord, strives and persists in a cause for breaking up the Sangha, engaging in quarrels. The bhikkhus should admonish him, saying: 'Venerable sir, do not strive and persist in a cause for breaking up the Sangha that is in concord, engaging in quarrels. Associate with the Sangha in concord. Why is that? The Sangha in concord, rejoicing, without quarrel, living together in one training, like milk and water mixed, teaching the Dhamma (Dhamma, the teachings of the Buddha) according to the Dhamma, illuminating and dwelling in comfort.' If, when thus admonished, he gives it up, that is good. If he does not give it up, he should be admonished a second and a third time. If he gives it up, that is good. If he does not give it up, it constitutes a Sanghavasesa (Sanghavasesa, a formal meeting of the Sangha). If a bhikkhu, being of the same opinion, assisting, whether one, two, or many, with the same speech, the same view, wishes to break up the Sangha that is in concord. When the bhikkhus admonish him, those bhikkhus of the same opinion say: 'Venerable sirs, do not speak of the good or bad qualities of that bhikkhu. Why is that? That bhikkhu speaks the Dhamma, speaks the Vinaya (Vinaya, the monastic rules); we also wish to approve of what that bhikkhu says and sees as worthy of approval. That bhikkhu knows what to say and what not to say.' The bhikkhus should admonish them, saying: 'Venerable sirs, do not speak thus: “That bhikkhu speaks the Dhamma, speaks the Vinaya.” Why is that? This bhikkhu does not speak the Dhamma, does not speak the Vinaya. Venerable sirs, do not assist in breaking up the Sangha; delight in assisting the Sangha in concord. Why is that? The Sangha in concord, rejoicing, without quarrel, living together in one training, like milk and water mixed, teaching the Dhamma according to the Dhamma, illuminating and dwelling in comfort.' If, when thus admonished, he gives it up, that is good. If he does not give it up, he should be admonished a second and a third time. If he gives it up, that is good. If he does not give it up, it constitutes a Sanghavasesa (Sanghavasesa, a formal meeting of the Sangha). If a bhikkhu is self-willed, using contentious speech, when the bhikkhus teach him in the Dhamma according to the Dhamma and according to the Vinaya, he says, being self-willed: 'Venerable --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

老!汝莫语我好恶事。我亦不语汝好恶事。’诸比丘应谏言:‘长老!诸比丘共法中如法、如律教时,汝莫不受,汝亦应如法、如律教诸比丘。何以故?如来弟子众展转相教、展转相谏,共罪中出故,善法得增长。’如是谏时舍者善;若不舍应第二、第三谏,舍是事善;若不舍,僧伽婆尸沙。 “若比丘,依城邑聚落中住,污他家、行恶行,污他家亦见亦闻、行恶行亦见亦闻。诸比丘应谏言:‘长老!汝等污他家、行恶行,污他家亦见亦闻、行恶行亦见亦闻。汝等出去,不应此中住。’是比丘言:‘僧随爱、随瞋、随怖、随痴。何以故?有如是同罪比丘,有驱者、有不驱者。’诸比丘应谏言:‘长老!如是莫言:“僧随爱、随瞋、随怖、随痴。有同罪比丘,有驱者、有不驱者。”何以故?僧不随爱、不随瞋、不随怖、不随痴。长老!汝等污他家、行恶行,污他家亦见亦闻、行恶行亦见亦闻。汝等出去,莫此中住。’如是谏时舍者善;若不舍应第二、第三谏,舍是事善;若不舍,僧伽婆尸沙。” “诸大德!以说十三僧伽婆尸沙法,九初罪、四乃至三谏。若比丘犯一一罪,随知覆藏时应与波利婆沙。波利婆沙已,应僧中六日六夜行摩那埵。行摩那埵已,应二十僧中出罪。若少一人不满二十,是比丘不得出罪 现代汉语译本:‘老友!你不要说我的好坏。我也不说你的好坏。’诸位比丘应该劝谏说:‘长老!当诸位比丘在共同的佛法中如法、如律地教导时,您不要不接受,您也应该如法、如律地教导诸位比丘。为什么呢?如来的弟子们辗转互相教导、辗转互相劝谏,才能从共同的罪过中解脱出来,善法才能增长。’这样劝谏时,如果他能改正就好;如果不能改正,应该第二次、第三次劝谏,改正这件事就好;如果还不改正,就犯了僧伽婆尸沙(Sanghavasesa,僧残罪)。 ‘如果某个比丘,依靠城邑村落居住,玷污他人家庭、行为恶劣,玷污他人家庭的事情既有人看见也有人听见,行为恶劣的事情既有人看见也有人听见。诸位比丘应该劝谏说:‘长老!你们玷污他人家庭、行为恶劣,玷污他人家庭的事情既有人看见也有人听见,行为恶劣的事情既有人看见也有人听见。你们出去吧,不应该住在这里。’这位比丘说:‘僧团是随着爱、随着嗔、随着怖、随着痴的。为什么呢?有像我这样同样犯了罪的比丘,有的被驱逐,有的没有被驱逐。’诸位比丘应该劝谏说:‘长老!不要这样说:“僧团是随着爱、随着嗔、随着怖、随着痴的。有同样犯了罪的比丘,有的被驱逐,有的没有被驱逐。”为什么呢?僧团不是随着爱、不是随着嗔、不是随着怖、不是随着痴的。长老!你们玷污他人家庭、行为恶劣,玷污他人家庭的事情既有人看见也有人听见,行为恶劣的事情既有人看见也有人听见。你们出去吧,不要住在这里。’这样劝谏时,如果他能改正就好;如果不能改正,应该第二次、第三次劝谏,改正这件事就好;如果还不改正,就犯了僧伽婆尸沙(Sanghavasesa,僧残罪)。’ ‘诸位大德!已经说了十三条僧伽婆尸沙(Sanghavasesa,僧残罪)法,九条是初犯即犯,四条需要经过三次劝谏。如果比丘犯了其中任何一条罪,根据他知道后隐瞒的时间,应该给予波利婆沙(Parivasa,别住)。完成波利婆沙(Parivasa,别住)后,应该在僧团中进行六日六夜的摩那埵(Manatta,行悔)。完成摩那埵(Manatta,行悔)后,应该在二十位比丘中进行出罪。如果少一人不满二十位,这位比丘就不能出罪。

English version: 'Friend! Do not speak of my good or bad deeds. I will also not speak of your good or bad deeds.' The Bhikkhus (monks) should advise: 'Elder! When the Bhikkhus (monks) are teaching according to the Dharma (law) and the Vinaya (discipline) in the common Dharma, you should not refuse to accept it, and you should also teach the Bhikkhus (monks) according to the Dharma (law) and the Vinaya (discipline). Why? Because the disciples of the Tathagata (the Buddha) teach each other and advise each other in turn, so that they can be freed from common sins, and good Dharma can grow.' If he abandons this view when advised in this way, it is good; if he does not abandon it, he should be advised a second and third time, and it is good to abandon this view; if he does not abandon it, he commits a Sanghavasesa (offense requiring a meeting of the Sangha). 'If a Bhikkhu (monk) lives relying on a town or village, defiles another's family, and behaves badly, defiling another's family is both seen and heard, and behaving badly is both seen and heard. The Bhikkhus (monks) should advise: 'Elder! You defile another's family and behave badly, defiling another's family is both seen and heard, and behaving badly is both seen and heard. You should leave and not live here.' This Bhikkhu (monk) says: 'The Sangha (community) follows love, follows anger, follows fear, follows delusion. Why? Because there are Bhikkhus (monks) who have committed the same offense as me, some are expelled, and some are not expelled.' The Bhikkhus (monks) should advise: 'Elder! Do not say: "The Sangha (community) follows love, follows anger, follows fear, follows delusion. There are Bhikkhus (monks) who have committed the same offense, some are expelled, and some are not expelled." Why? Because the Sangha (community) does not follow love, does not follow anger, does not follow fear, does not follow delusion. Elder! You defile another's family and behave badly, defiling another's family is both seen and heard, and behaving badly is both seen and heard. You should leave and not live here.' If he abandons this view when advised in this way, it is good; if he does not abandon it, he should be advised a second and third time, and it is good to abandon this view; if he does not abandon it, he commits a Sanghavasesa (offense requiring a meeting of the Sangha).' 'Venerable ones! The thirteen Sanghavasesa (offense requiring a meeting of the Sangha) rules have been spoken, nine are offenses from the first transgression, and four require three admonishments. If a Bhikkhu (monk) commits any one of these offenses, according to the time he knows and conceals it, he should be given Parivasa (probation). After completing Parivasa (probation), he should perform Manatta (penance) for six days and six nights in the Sangha (community). After completing Manatta (penance), he should be absolved in a Sangha (community) of twenty Bhikkhus (monks). If there is one less than twenty, this Bhikkhu (monk) cannot be absolved.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
