“诸大姊！是七灭诤法，半月半月说，戒经中来。 “若比丘尼有诤事起，即应除灭。 “应与现前毗尼，当与现前毗尼。 “应与忆念毗尼，当与忆念毗尼。 “应与不痴毗尼，当与不痴毗尼。 “应与自言治，当与自言治。 “应与多人语，当与多人语。 “应与觅罪相，当与觅罪相。 “应与如草覆地，当与如草覆地。 “诸大姊！我已说七灭诤法。 “今问诸大姊：是中清净不？(如是三说)。 “诸大姊！是中清净，默然故。是事如是持。 “诸大姊！我已说戒经序，已说八波罗夷法，已说十七僧伽婆尸沙法，已说三十尼萨耆波逸提法，已说一百七十八波逸提法，已说八波罗提提舍尼法，已说众学戒法，已说七灭诤法。此是佛所说，半月半月说，戒经中来。 “若更有余佛法，是中皆共和合，应当学。 “忍辱第一道， 佛说无为最， 出家恼他人， 不名为沙门。 “此是毗婆尸如来、无所著、等正觉，说是戒经。 “譬如明眼人， 能避险恶道， 世有聪明人， 能远离诸恶。 “此是尸弃如来、无所著、等正觉，说是戒经。 “不谤亦不嫉， 当奉持于戒， 饮食知止足 ， 常乐在空闲， 心定乐精进， 是名诸佛教。 “此是毗叶罗如来、无所著、等正觉，说是戒经。 “譬如蜂采花， 不坏色与香， 但取其味去； 比丘入聚然， 不违戾他事， 不观作不作， 但自观身行， 若正若不正。 “此是拘楼孙如来、无所著、等正觉，说是戒经。 “心莫作放逸， 圣法当勤学， 如是无忧愁， 心定入涅槃。 “此是拘那含牟尼如来、无所著、等正觉，说是戒经。 “一切恶莫作， 当奉行诸善， 自净其志意， 是则诸佛教。 “此是迦叶如来、无所著、等正觉，说是戒经。 “善护于口言， 自净其志意， 身莫作诸恶， 此三业道净； 能得如是行， 是大仙人道。 “此是释迦牟尼如来、无所著、等正觉，于十二年中，为无事僧说是戒经。从是已后，广分别说。诸比丘尼，自为乐法、乐沙门者，有惭、有愧，乐学戒者，当于中学。 “明人能护戒， 能得三种乐， 名誉及利养， 死得生天上。 当观如是处， 有智勤护戒， 戒净有智慧， 便得第一道。 如过去诸佛， 及以未来者， 现在诸世尊， 能胜一切忧， 皆共尊敬戒， 此是诸佛法 现代汉语译本 常常在空闲时感到快乐， 心安定时乐于精进，这是诸佛的教诲。 ‘这是毗叶罗如来（Vipula Buddha，广大的佛）、无所著（Arhat，阿罗汉）、等正觉（Sammasambuddha，正等觉者），所说的戒经。 譬如蜜蜂采蜜，不损坏花朵的颜色和香味，只取走它的味道；比丘进入村落也是这样，不干涉他人的事务，不观察他人做什么或不做什么，只观察自己的身行，是正确还是不正确。 ‘这是拘楼孙如来（Krakucchanda Buddha，拘楼孙佛）、无所著（Arhat，阿罗汉）、等正觉（Sammasambuddha，正等觉者），所说的戒经。 内心不要放逸，应当勤奋学习圣法，这样就没有忧愁，心安定就能进入涅槃（Nirvana，寂灭）。’ ‘这是拘那含牟尼如来（Kanakamuni Buddha，拘那含牟尼佛）、无所著（Arhat，阿罗汉）、等正觉（Sammasambuddha，正等觉者），所说的戒经。 一切恶事都不要做，应当奉行各种善事，自己清净自己的心意，这就是诸佛的教诲。 ‘这是迦叶如来（Kasyapa Buddha，迦叶佛）、无所著（Arhat，阿罗汉）、等正觉（Sammasambuddha，正等觉者），所说的戒经。 善于守护自己的言语，自己清净自己的心意，身体不要做各种恶事，这三种业道清净了；能够像这样修行，就是大仙人的道路。 ‘这是释迦牟尼如来（Sakyamuni Buddha，释迦牟尼佛）、无所著（Arhat，阿罗汉）、等正觉（Sammasambuddha，正等觉者），在十二年中，为无事的僧众说这部戒经。从此以后，广泛地分别解说。各位比丘尼，自身为了喜爱佛法、喜爱出家生活的人，有惭愧心，喜欢学习戒律的人，应当在这戒律中学习。 聪明的人能够守护戒律，能够得到三种快乐，名誉和利养，死后能够升到天上。 应当观察这样的地方，有智慧的人勤奋地守护戒律，戒律清净并且有智慧，便能得到第一的道。 如过去的诸佛，以及未来的诸佛，现在的诸世尊，能够战胜一切忧愁，都共同尊敬戒律，这就是诸佛的法。'

English version Always joyful in leisure, With a settled mind, joyful in diligence, this is called the teaching of all Buddhas. ‘This is the precept scripture spoken by Vipula Buddha (Vipula Buddha, the Extensive Buddha), Arhat (Arhat, the Worthy One), Sammasambuddha (Sammasambuddha, the Perfectly Enlightened One).’ ‘Just as a bee collects nectar from a flower without harming its color or fragrance, but only takes its essence; so too, a Bhikkhu (Bhikkhu, Buddhist monk) enters a village, not interfering in the affairs of others, not observing what they do or do not do, but only observing his own conduct, whether it is right or wrong.’ ‘This is the precept scripture spoken by Krakucchanda Buddha (Krakucchanda Buddha), Arhat (Arhat, the Worthy One), Sammasambuddha (Sammasambuddha, the Perfectly Enlightened One).’ ‘Let the mind not be negligent, one should diligently study the sacred Dharma (Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha), thus without sorrow, with a settled mind, one can enter Nirvana (Nirvana, liberation).’ ‘This is the precept scripture spoken by Kanakamuni Buddha (Kanakamuni Buddha), Arhat (Arhat, the Worthy One), Sammasambuddha (Sammasambuddha, the Perfectly Enlightened One).’ ‘Do no evil, practice all good, purify one's own mind; this is the teaching of all Buddhas.’ ‘This is the precept scripture spoken by Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), Arhat (Arhat, the Worthy One), Sammasambuddha (Sammasambuddha, the Perfectly Enlightened One).’ ‘Well guard your speech, purify your own mind, let the body do no evil; these three paths of karma are purified; to be able to practice in this way is the path of the great sage.’ ‘This is the precept scripture spoken by Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha), Arhat (Arhat, the Worthy One), Sammasambuddha (Sammasambuddha, the Perfectly Enlightened One), for twelve years, for the monks who had no duties. From then on, it was widely and separately explained. Those Bhikkhunis (Bhikkhunis, Buddhist nuns), who for themselves love the Dharma, love the life of a renunciate, have shame and remorse, and love to learn the precepts, should learn in these precepts.’ ‘A wise person who can guard the precepts can obtain three kinds of happiness: fame and gain, and after death, rebirth in heaven. One should observe such a place, a wise person diligently guards the precepts, with pure precepts and wisdom, one can attain the foremost path. Like the Buddhas of the past, and those of the future, the present World Honored Ones, who can overcome all sorrows, all together respect the precepts, this is the Dharma of all Buddhas.’

。 若有自为身， 欲求于佛道， 当尊重正法， 此是诸佛教。 七佛为世尊， 灭除诸结使， 说是七戒经， 诸缚得解脱。 已入于涅槃， 诸戏永灭尽， 尊行大仙说， 圣贤称誉戒， 弟子之所行， 入寂灭涅槃。 世尊涅槃时， 兴起于大悲， 集诸比丘众， 与如是教诫： ‘莫谓我涅槃， 净行者无护。 我今说戒经， 亦善说毗尼， 我虽般涅槃， 当视如世尊。 此经久住世， 佛法得炽盛， 以是炽盛故， 得入于涅槃。 若不持此戒， 如所应布萨， 喻如日没时， 世界皆闇冥。 当护持是戒， 如𤛆牛爱尾， 和合一处坐， 如佛之所说。’ 我已说戒经， 众僧布萨竟， 我今说戒经， 所说诸功德， 施一切众生， 皆共成佛道。” 四分比丘尼戒本 现代汉语译本： 若有人为了自身，想要寻求佛道，应当尊重正法，这是所有佛陀的教诲。 过去的七佛世尊，灭除了所有的烦恼结缚，宣说了这七戒经，使众生的各种束缚得以解脱。 他们已经进入涅槃（Nirvana，寂灭），所有的戏论永远灭尽，受到尊敬的大仙宣说，圣贤称赞这些戒律，这是弟子们所应奉行的，最终进入寂灭涅槃。 世尊（Bhagavan）在涅槃的时候，兴起了大悲心，召集所有的比丘（bhiksu，出家男众）大众，给予这样的教诫： ‘不要认为我涅槃后，清净修行的人就没有了守护。我现在宣说戒经，也善于宣说毗尼（Vinaya，戒律），我虽然般涅槃（Parinirvana，完全的涅槃），应当视戒如世尊一般。 此经如果长久住世，佛法就能得到炽盛，因为佛法的炽盛，众生才能得以进入涅槃。 如果不持守这些戒律，如法地进行布萨（Posadha，斋戒），就如同太阳落山时，世界都陷入黑暗之中。 应当守护这些戒律，如同牦牛爱惜自己的尾巴一样，和合在一起安坐，如同佛陀所说的那样。’ 我已经宣说了戒经，众僧的布萨也已经完毕，我现在宣说戒经，所说的所有功德，施给一切众生，愿他们都共同成就佛道。” 《四分比丘尼戒本》

English version: If someone, for their own sake, wishes to seek the path of the Buddha, they should respect the true Dharma (law, teachings), this is the teaching of all the Buddhas. The seven Buddhas of the past, the World Honored Ones, extinguished all the bonds of affliction, and proclaimed these seven precepts, so that all the fetters of beings could be liberated. They have already entered Nirvana (extinction of suffering), all illusions are forever extinguished, the revered great sages proclaimed, the virtuous praise these precepts, this is what disciples should practice, ultimately entering the peaceful Nirvana. When the World Honored One (Bhagavan) was about to enter Nirvana, he arose with great compassion, gathered all the bhikshus (monks) together, and gave them this teaching: 'Do not think that after my Nirvana, those who practice purely will have no protection. I now proclaim the precepts, and also skillfully explain the Vinaya (monastic rules), although I have entered Parinirvana (final Nirvana), you should regard the precepts as the World Honored One. If this scripture remains in the world for a long time, the Buddha's Dharma will flourish, and because of the flourishing of the Dharma, beings will be able to enter Nirvana. If one does not uphold these precepts, and does not perform the Posadha (observance day) according to the Dharma, it is like when the sun sets, and the world falls into darkness. You should protect these precepts, like a yak cherishes its tail, and sit together in harmony, as the Buddha has said.' I have already proclaimed the precepts, and the Sangha's (community) Posadha has been completed, I now proclaim the precepts, and dedicate all the merits spoken of, to all beings, may they all together achieve the path of Buddhahood.” 《The Bhiksuni Pratimoksa of the Dharmaguptaka》 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
