English version It is said in the Half-Month Recitation of Precepts Sutra: 'Monks, know that if a monk, even two or three, sit during the recitation of the precepts, let alone more! These monks cannot escape punishment by claiming ignorance. They should be punished according to the offenses they have committed, and they should be rebuked and made to feel ashamed: 'Venerable ones! You have lost benefit, you are without gain, you have done poorly. When reciting the precepts, you do not respect the recitation, you do not think, "This is indeed the case." You do not value it, you do not keep it in mind, you do not recite it with one mind, you do not concentrate on listening to the Dharma. From this matter, you commit a Patayantika offense.' 'If a monk makes a needle case from bone, tooth, or horn, he commits a Patayantika offense.' 'If a monk wants to make a sitting bed or a sleeping bed, the legs should be eight fingers high (approximately 15 centimeters), excluding the bed frame (the side rails of the bed). If it is made higher than this, he commits a Patayantika offense.' 'If a monk himself fills a mattress with tula cotton (a soft type of cotton), or instructs others to fill it, he commits a Patayantika offense.' 'If a monk wants to make a rain-bathing cloth, he should measure it according to the prescribed dimensions. The prescribed dimensions are: six Sugata vidasti (Sugata vidasti, a measurement of the Buddha's hand span, approximately 25-30 centimeters) in length and two and a half Sugata vidasti in width. If it is made larger than this, he commits a Patayantika offense.' 'If a monk wants to make a covering cloth, he should measure it according to the prescribed dimensions. The prescribed dimensions are: four Sugata vidasti in length and two and a half Sugata vidasti in width. If it is made larger than this, he commits a Patayantika offense.' 'If a monk wants to make a Nishidana (sitting mat), he should measure it according to the prescribed dimensions. The prescribed dimensions are: two Sugata vidasti in length and one and a half Sugata vidasti in width. If one vidasti of thread is added, or if it is made larger than this, he commits a Patayantika offense.' 'If a monk makes a robe according to the Buddha's robe size, or larger than the Buddha's robe size, he commits a Patayantika offense. The Buddha's robe size is: nine Sugata vidasti in length and six Sugata vidasti in width. This is the Buddha's robe size.' 'Venerable ones! Ninety Patayantika rules have been recited. Now I ask the venerable ones, are you pure in these?' (The second and third times are also asked in the same way.) 'Venerable ones! We are pure in these, because we are silent. Therefore, this matter is thus established.' 'Venerable ones! These are the four Patidesaniya (Patidesaniya) rules, recited every half month in the Pratimoksha (Pratimoksha).' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 中说。

“若比丘，无病，白衣家内非亲里比丘尼边自手受食，是比丘应诸比丘边出罪，如是言：‘诸大德！我堕可呵法所不应作，是可出法我今出。’是第一波罗提提舍尼法。 “有诸比丘，白衣家请食，是中一比丘尼立指示：‘与是比丘饭、与是比丘羹。’诸比丘应语是比丘尼：‘小住姊妹！待诸比丘食竟。’若诸比丘中乃至无一比丘能语是比丘尼：‘姊妹小住！待诸比丘食竟。’是比丘应余比丘边出罪，如是言：‘诸大德！我堕可呵法所不应作，是可出法我今出。’是第二波罗提提舍尼法。 “有诸学家中，僧作学家羯磨，若比丘知是学家中僧作学家羯磨，先不请后来自手受饭食，是比丘应余比丘边出罪，如是言：‘大德！我堕可呵法所不应作，是可出法我今出。’是第三波罗提提舍尼法。 “有僧阿兰若处住，有疑怖畏。若比丘先知如是阿兰若住处有疑怖畏，僧亦不作羯磨，不精舍外受饮食，精舍内受饮食，是比丘应余比丘边出罪，如是言：‘大德！我堕可呵法所不应作，是可出法我今出。’是第四波罗提提舍尼法。” “诸大德！已说四波罗提提舍尼法。今问诸大德是中清净不？”(第二、第三亦如是问。)“诸大德！是中清净，默然故，是事如是持。” “诸大德 现代汉语译本： 佛陀如是说。 ‘如果比丘没有疾病，在俗家（白衣）中，从非亲属的比丘尼处亲手接受食物，这位比丘应当在其他比丘面前忏悔，这样说：‘诸位大德！我犯了应受呵责、不应做的事情，这是可以忏悔的法，我现在忏悔。’这是第一条波罗提提舍尼法（Pratidesaniya Dharma，应向人忏悔之法）。 ‘有些比丘，在俗家接受斋饭邀请，其中一位比丘尼站着指示：‘给这位比丘饭，给这位比丘羹。’众比丘应当告诉这位比丘尼：‘请稍等一下，姊妹！等众比丘用完餐。’如果众比丘中甚至没有一位比丘能告诉这位比丘尼：‘姊妹请稍等！等众比丘用完餐。’这位比丘应当在其他比丘面前忏悔，这样说：‘诸位大德！我犯了应受呵责、不应做的事情，这是可以忏悔的法，我现在忏悔。’这是第二条波罗提提舍尼法。 ‘在一些僧团进行‘学家羯磨’（Sekha-kamma，关于学法的羯磨）的家庭中，如果比丘知道这个家庭中僧团正在进行‘学家羯磨’，事先没有被邀请，之后却亲自接受饭食，这位比丘应当在其他比丘面前忏悔，这样说：‘大德！我犯了应受呵责、不应做的事情，这是可以忏悔的法，我现在忏悔。’这是第三条波罗提提舍尼法。 ‘有僧团住在阿兰若（Aranya，寂静处），那里有疑虑和恐惧。如果比丘事先知道这样的阿兰若住处有疑虑和恐惧，僧团也没有举行羯磨（Kamma，僧团会议），不在精舍（Vihara，寺庙）外面接受饮料，在精舍内接受饮食，这位比丘应当在其他比丘面前忏悔，这样说：‘大德！我犯了应受呵责、不应做的事情，这是可以忏悔的法，我现在忏悔。’这是第四条波罗提提舍尼法。’ ‘诸位大德！已经说了四条波罗提提舍尼法。现在问诸位大德，你们对此是否清净？’（第二次、第三次也这样问。）‘诸位大德！对此是清净的，因为大家默然不语，这件事就这样接受。’ ‘诸位大德！'

English version: Thus it was said. ‘If a bhikkhu, without illness, personally receives food from a bhikkhuni who is not a relative within a layperson's house, that bhikkhu should confess to the other bhikkhus, saying: ‘Venerable sirs! I have fallen into a blameworthy act that should not be done; this is a confessable act, and I now confess it.’ This is the first Pratidesaniya Dharma (rule requiring confession).’ ‘If some bhikkhus are invited for a meal at a layperson's house, and a bhikkhuni stands there instructing: ‘Give rice to this bhikkhu, give soup to this bhikkhu.’ The bhikkhus should tell that bhikkhuni: ‘Wait a moment, sister! Wait until the bhikkhus have finished eating.’ If among the bhikkhus, not even one bhikkhu can tell that bhikkhuni: ‘Sister, wait a moment! Wait until the bhikkhus have finished eating,’ that bhikkhu should confess to the other bhikkhus, saying: ‘Venerable sirs! I have fallen into a blameworthy act that should not be done; this is a confessable act, and I now confess it.’ This is the second Pratidesaniya Dharma.’ ‘In some families where the Sangha (community) is performing a Sekha-kamma (training practice procedure), if a bhikkhu knows that the Sangha is performing a Sekha-kamma in that family, and without being invited beforehand, personally receives food, that bhikkhu should confess to the other bhikkhus, saying: ‘Venerable sir! I have fallen into a blameworthy act that should not be done; this is a confessable act, and I now confess it.’ This is the third Pratidesaniya Dharma.’ ‘There is a Sangha dwelling in an Aranya (forest dwelling), where there is doubt and fear. If a bhikkhu knows beforehand that such an Aranya dwelling place has doubt and fear, and the Sangha has not performed a Kamma (formal act of the Sangha), and he receives drinks outside the Vihara (monastery), and receives food inside the Vihara, that bhikkhu should confess to the other bhikkhus, saying: ‘Venerable sir! I have fallen into a blameworthy act that should not be done; this is a confessable act, and I now confess it.’ This is the fourth Pratidesaniya Dharma.’ ‘Venerable sirs! The four Pratidesaniya Dharmas have been stated. Now I ask the venerable sirs, are you clear on this?’ (The second and third times are also asked in the same way.) ‘Venerable sirs! We are clear on this, because of the silence, this matter is thus accepted.’ ‘Venerable sirs!’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
