English version Elder sisters of the Sangha, listen! As the boundaries and directions have been described, the Sangha now, in this place and that place, establishes a joint recitation of precepts (说戒, shuō jiè), but separate receiving of offerings. Which of you elder sisters can tolerate the Sangha establishing within these four directional boundaries a joint recitation of precepts, but separate receiving of offerings, let her be silent; who cannot tolerate it, let her speak. The Sangha has tolerated establishing within these four directional boundaries a joint recitation of precepts, but separate receiving of offerings. The Sangha tolerates it, therefore silence, this matter is thus held. (If two residences previously had a joint recitation of precepts and joint receiving of offerings, or a joint recitation of precepts but separate receiving of offerings, and later wish to separate, the boundaries should first be dissolved, and then each should declare the extent of their boundaries, and establish separate boundaries as before.) Text of the Karma (羯磨, jiémó) for establishing separate recitation of precepts but joint receiving of offerings Elder sisters of the Sangha, listen! If it is time for the Sangha, and the Sangha tolerates and listens, the Sangha now, in this place and that place of residence, establishes separate recitation of precepts, but joint receiving of offerings, for the sake of protecting the residence. Report as such. Elder sisters of the Sangha, listen! The Sangha now, in this place and that place of residence, establishes separate recitation of precepts, but joint receiving of offerings, for the sake of protecting the residence. Which of you elder sisters can tolerate the Sangha, in this place and that place of residence, establishing separate recitation of precepts, but joint receiving of offerings, for the sake of protecting the residence, let her be silent; who cannot tolerate it, let her speak. The Sangha has tolerated, in this place and that place of residence, establishing separate recitation of precepts, but joint receiving of offerings, for the sake of protecting the residence. The Sangha tolerates it, therefore silence, this matter is thus held. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
