English version: N.N. (name of the novice) requests to receive the great Bhikkhuni (female monastic) precepts. This N.N., now requests from the Sangha (monastic community) to receive the great Bhikkhuni precepts, with preceptor Bhikkhuni N.N. (name of the preceptor). N.N. declares herself to be pure, without any impediments, of full age, possessing complete robes and bowl, and having learned the precepts purely. The Sangha now confers the great Bhikkhuni precepts upon N.N., with preceptor Bhikkhuni N.N. Whoever among the elders approves of the Sangha conferring the great Bhikkhuni precepts upon N.N., with preceptor Bhikkhuni N.N., let them be silent; whoever does not approve, let them speak. This is the first Karma (formal act). (To be said three times.) The Sangha has approved the conferring of the great Bhikkhuni precepts upon N.N., with preceptor Bhikkhuni N.N. The Sangha approves, because of the silence; this matter is thus carried out. Good woman, listen carefully! The Tathagata (one of the titles of the Buddha), Arhat (one who has destroyed all defilements), Samyaksambuddha (perfectly enlightened Buddha) has spoken of the eight Parajika (the most severe offenses for Bhikkhunis) rules. If a Bhikkhuni (female monastic) commits them, she is no longer a Bhikkhuni, no longer a daughter of the Shakya clan. One must not engage in impure conduct, practicing the law of sexual desire. If a Bhikkhuni engages in impure conduct, practicing the law of sexual desire, even with an animal; this one is not a Bhikkhuni, not a daughter of the Shakya clan. One must not commit this for the rest of one's life. Can you uphold this? (Answer: 'I can.') One must not steal, not even a blade of grass. If a Bhikkhuni steals five coins from another person, or more than five coins, whether taking it herself, or instructing others to take it, whether cutting it herself, or instructing others to cut it, whether destroying it herself, or instructing others to destroy it, whether burning it, burying it, or changing its color; this one is not a Bhikkhuni, not a daughter of the Shakya clan. One must not commit this for the rest of one's life. Can you uphold this? (Answer: 'I can.') One must not take the life of a living being, not even the life of an ant. If a Bhikkhuni personally takes a human life, or hands a knife to another person, instigates killing, praises death, encourages death, gives a person non-medicine (poison), performs an abortion, uses curses and spells, whether doing these actions herself, or instructing others to do these actions; this one is not a Bhikkhuni, not a daughter of the Shakya clan. One must not commit this for the rest of one's life. Can you uphold this? (Answer: 'I can.') One must not lie, not even in jest. If a Bhikkhuni is not truthful, and does not possess it herself, but claims to have attained the Dharma of superior beings (superior states of practice), attained Dhyana (meditation), Moksha (liberation from samsara), Samadhi (state of concentration), right Samadhi experience, attained Srotapanna (stream-enterer), Sakrdagamin (once-returner), Anagamin --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
