”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“不应随处洗钵濯足。汝等当知！若洗钵处应可涂拭作小水坛。”时诸苾刍作圆曼荼罗，居士见已咸作是言：“诸释迦子供养于日。”世尊告曰：“不应圆作。”时诸苾刍作曼荼罗形如半月，居士复言：“苾刍事月。”佛言：“坛有二种：一如槊刃，二如瓮形。或可随彼水流势作。若作日月形曼荼罗者，得恶作罪。若为三宝，随何形势悉皆无犯。” 尔时世尊为摩揭陀国大臣婆罗门名曰行雨略宣法要，说伽他曰： “若正信丈夫， 供养诸天众， 能顺大师教， 诸佛所称扬。” 时六众苾刍即便供养羯吒布呾那、摩登伽瞿利迦天。时婆罗门及诸居士咸作是言：“圣者！既于善说法律之中而为出家，宁容反更敬事天神。”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“我为俗人密意而说，非是汝等苾刍所为。是故汝等，于诸天神勿为敬事。”时有苾刍于天神处便生轻贱，彼天神曰：“我等于仁有何过失而见欺倰？”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“汝等从今于天神处，不应供养亦勿欺倰。”时有苾刍，后于余处见羯吒布呾那，及摩登伽瞿利伽像即便打破。时诸居士作如是言：“此天神像无有心识，圣者何故辄毁破耶？”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“汝等苾刍！于天神像不应毁坏。”有诸苾 现代汉语译本：当时，众比丘（Bhikkhus，佛教僧侣）将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：‘不应该随处洗钵（bowl）濯足（wash feet）。你们应当知道！如果洗钵的地方，应该涂抹干净，做一个小水坛。’当时，众比丘做了圆形的曼荼罗（Mandala，坛场），居士（householder）们看见后都说：‘这些释迦（Sakya，佛陀的姓氏）的弟子供养太阳。’世尊（Lord Buddha）告诉他们说：‘不应该做成圆形。’当时，众比丘做了半月形的曼荼罗，居士们又说：‘比丘们事奉月亮。’佛陀说：‘坛有两种形状：一种像矛的刃，一种像瓮的形状。或者可以顺着水流的趋势来做。如果做成日月形状的曼荼罗，会犯恶作罪（Dukkata，轻罪）。如果是为了三宝（Three Jewels，佛、法、僧），无论什么形状都可以，都没有罪。’ 当时，世尊为摩揭陀国（Magadha，古印度王国）的大臣，名叫行雨的婆罗门（Brahmin，印度教祭司种姓）略微宣讲了佛法的要义，说了这首偈（Gatha，诗偈）： ‘如果正信的丈夫，供养诸天众（Devas，天神），能顺从大师（Great Teacher，指佛陀）的教导，就会被诸佛（Buddhas，觉悟者）所称扬。’ 当时，六众比丘（Six kinds of Bhikkhus）便供养羯吒布呾那（Kataputana，鬼神名）、摩登伽瞿利迦天（Matanga-Kaurika，天神名）。当时，婆罗门和各位居士都说：‘圣者！既然在善说的法律（Dharma，佛法）之中出家，怎么可以反而敬事天神呢？’众比丘将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：‘我是为俗人（layman）的密意而说的，不是你们比丘所应该做的。所以你们，对于诸天神不要敬事。’当时，有比丘对于天神产生了轻贱之心，那些天神说：‘我们对于你们有什么过失，而要被你们欺凌？’众比丘将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：‘你们从今以后，对于天神，不应该供养，也不要欺凌。’当时，有比丘，后来在其他地方看见羯吒布呾那和摩登伽瞿利迦的像，便将它们打破。当时，居士们这样说：‘这些天神的像没有心识，圣者为什么随便毁坏它们呢？’众比丘将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：‘你们比丘！对于天神的像不应该毁坏。’

English version: At that time, the Bhikkhus (Buddhist monks) reported the matter to the Buddha, who said: 'You should not wash your bowls and feet everywhere. You should know that if you wash your bowls, you should clean the area and make a small water altar.' At that time, the Bhikkhus made a circular Mandala (sacred diagram), and the householders, seeing it, all said: 'These disciples of Sakya (Buddha's clan name) are making offerings to the sun.' The Lord Buddha told them: 'It should not be made circular.' At that time, the Bhikkhus made a half-moon-shaped Mandala, and the householders again said: 'The Bhikkhus are serving the moon.' The Buddha said: 'There are two kinds of altars: one is like the edge of a spear, and the other is like the shape of a pot. Or it can be made according to the flow of the water. If you make a Mandala in the shape of the sun and moon, you will commit the Dukkata (minor offense). If it is for the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), any shape is acceptable and there is no offense.' At that time, the Lord Buddha briefly explained the essentials of the Dharma to a Brahmin (priestly caste) minister of the Kingdom of Magadha (ancient Indian kingdom) named Rain-of-Action, and spoke this Gatha (verse): 'If a man of true faith makes offerings to the Devas (gods), and can follow the teachings of the Great Teacher (Buddha), he will be praised by all the Buddhas (enlightened ones).' At that time, the Six kinds of Bhikkhus made offerings to Kataputana (name of a spirit) and Matanga-Kaurika (name of a god). At that time, the Brahmins and householders all said: 'Venerable ones! Since you have left home within the well-spoken Dharma (teachings), how can you turn around and revere the gods?' The Bhikkhus reported the matter to the Buddha, who said: 'I spoke with a hidden meaning for the laymen, which is not what you Bhikkhus should do. Therefore, you should not revere the gods.' At that time, some Bhikkhus developed contempt for the gods, and those gods said: 'What offense have we committed against you that you should bully us?' The Bhikkhus reported the matter to the Buddha, who said: 'From now on, you should neither make offerings to the gods nor bully them.' At that time, some Bhikkhus, later seeing the images of Kataputana and Matanga-Kaurika in other places, broke them. At that time, the householders said: 'These images of gods have no consciousness, why do the venerable ones arbitrarily destroy them?' The Bhikkhus reported the matter to the Buddha, who said: 'You Bhikkhus! You should not destroy the images of the gods.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

刍随处游行，时彼路便右绕天庙，佛言：“苾刍不应右绕天庙。”遂即避路，便为棘刺之所伤损，佛言：“应取旧路。若因道便而右绕者，诵圣伽他謦欬弹指令其警觉。” 具寿邬波离白佛言：“世尊！如说大界极两驿半，令诸弟子于亲教师轨范师处每日三时请教白事，是佛亲制。彼诸弟子去亲教师及轨范师有两驿半，路遥时促，未审如何？”佛言：“应半月就礼。若去师五俱卢舍，应七八日一去礼拜。若一俱卢舍，每日一去。若更相近乃至同处，应每日三时而为礼敬。若异此者得越法罪。” 时邬波难陀无钵度人，时诸苾刍各洗钵已安置龛中，请白二师旋绕制底。邬波难陀所度弟子有缘须钵，便往尊者憍陈如钵边欲取其钵，尊者告曰：“此是我钵，汝不须触。”时彼复往余人钵处，同前欲取，还复见遮。时诸苾刍问曰：“谁是汝师？”彼便答言：“邬波难陀。”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“不应无钵度他出家及与近圆，得恶作罪。汝诸苾刍！凡欲度人出家为求寂者，应与钵及小钵并以铜碗，无令废阙。”时阿尼卢驮有一弟子为师掌钵，师与弟子钵形相似，彼不能识，遂生疑曰：“为是师钵、为我钵耶？”时彼即便于其钵底，各书名字。有一长者，奉请世尊及苾刍众，就家受食。长者先与淫女有私通事， 现代汉语译本：当**苾刍**（佛教出家男众）行走时，如果道路正好向右绕过天庙，佛陀说：‘**苾刍**不应该右绕天庙。’于是他们就避开那条路，结果被荆棘刺伤。佛陀说：‘应该走原来的路。如果因为道路的方便而需要右绕，可以诵念**圣伽他**（赞颂诗），咳嗽或弹指，使天庙中的神灵警觉。’ 具寿**邬波离**（佛陀的十大弟子之一，持戒第一）问佛陀说：‘世尊！如您所说，大界的范围是两驿半，要求弟子们每天三次到亲教师和轨范师处请教和禀告事情，这是佛陀亲自制定的。但是那些弟子们距离亲教师和轨范师有两驿半的路程，路途遥远，时间紧迫，不知道该怎么办？’佛陀说：‘应该每半个月去礼拜一次。如果距离老师五**俱卢舍**（古印度长度单位），应该每七八天去礼拜一次。如果距离一**俱卢舍**，每天去一次。如果更加接近，甚至同住一处，应该每天三次进行礼敬。如果违反这些规定，就犯了越法的罪。’ 当时，**邬波难陀**（佛陀的弟子）在没有钵的情况下为人剃度。当时，各位**苾刍**洗完钵后，将钵放在龛中，然后请两位老师绕**制底**（佛塔）。**邬波难陀**所剃度的弟子因为有事需要钵，就到尊者**憍陈如**（佛陀最早的五比丘之一）的钵边想要拿他的钵，尊者告诉他说：‘这是我的钵，你不要碰。’当时，那个人又到其他人的钵处，像之前一样想要拿钵，还是被阻止了。当时，各位**苾刍**问他说：‘谁是你的老师？’他便回答说：‘**邬波难陀**。’当时，各位**苾刍**将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：‘不应该在没有钵的情况下为他人剃度出家和授予近圆戒（比丘戒），犯恶作罪。各位**苾刍**！凡是想要为他人剃度出家成为求寂者（沙弥），应该给他钵和小钵，以及铜碗，不要缺少。’当时，**阿尼卢驮**（佛陀的十大弟子之一，天眼第一）有一个弟子负责保管老师的钵，老师和弟子的钵形状相似，他无法分辨，于是产生疑问说：‘这是老师的钵，还是我的钵呢？’当时，他就在钵底上各自写上名字。有一位长者，邀请世尊和**苾刍**众到家中接受供养。这位长者之前与**苾刍**有私通的事情。

English version: When **bhikshus** (Buddhist monks) were walking, if the road happened to bypass a heavenly temple to the right, the Buddha said, '**Bhikshus** should not bypass heavenly temples to the right.' So they avoided that road, and as a result, they were injured by thorns. The Buddha said, 'They should take the original road. If it is necessary to bypass to the right for the convenience of the road, they can recite **Gathas** (hymns), cough, or snap their fingers to alert the spirits in the heavenly temple.' The Venerable **Upali** (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, foremost in upholding the precepts) asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One! As you said, the boundary of the great boundary is two and a half *yojanas*, requiring disciples to go to their preceptors and teachers three times a day to ask for instruction and report matters. This is personally established by the Buddha. But those disciples are two and a half *yojanas* away from their preceptors and teachers. The road is long and time is short. I don't know what to do?' The Buddha said, 'They should go to pay respects once every half month. If they are five *kroshas* (an ancient Indian unit of length) away from the teacher, they should go to pay respects once every seven or eight days. If it is one *krosha* away, they should go once a day. If they are closer, even living in the same place, they should pay respects three times a day. If they violate these rules, they commit the offense of transgressing the law.' At that time, **Upananda** (a disciple of the Buddha) ordained people without a bowl. At that time, the **bhikshus**, after washing their bowls, placed them in niches and then asked the two teachers to circumambulate the **chaitya** (stupa). A disciple ordained by **Upananda** needed a bowl for some reason, so he went to the bowl of the Venerable **Kaundinya** (one of the Buddha's first five disciples) wanting to take his bowl. The Venerable told him, 'This is my bowl, you must not touch it.' At that time, that person went to the place of other people's bowls, wanting to take a bowl as before, but was still stopped. At that time, the **bhikshus** asked him, 'Who is your teacher?' He then replied, '**Upananda**.' At that time, the **bhikshus** reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'One should not ordain others or grant the higher ordination (bhikkhu ordination) without a bowl, committing the offense of wrong-doing. You **bhikshus**! Whenever you want to ordain others to become a *shramanera* (novice), you should give them a bowl and a small bowl, as well as a copper bowl, without lacking anything.' At that time, **Aniruddha** (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, foremost in divine eye) had a disciple in charge of keeping the teacher's bowl. The teacher's and disciple's bowls were similar in shape, and he could not distinguish them, so he wondered, 'Is this the teacher's bowl, or my bowl?' At that time, he wrote their names on the bottom of each bowl. There was an elder who invited the World Honored One and the **bhikshu** assembly to his home to receive offerings. This elder had previously had an affair with a **bhikshu**. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

遂遣使人报淫女曰：“我于今日请佛及僧，明日就家谨设供养，汝可来此手自奉食。”是时淫女遇有他缘，不及亲往。佛及僧伽至时赴请，饼食已讫，说施伽他从座而去。时彼长者是阿尼卢驮弟子知识，佛僧去已，唯彼弟子未出其舍，是时长者白言：“大德！愿以此钵暂时相借，以所余食欲寄与人。”苾刍即以师钵与之。长者以钵盛满香馔寄与淫女，并附言曰：“贤首！我请三宝奉献斯食，佛及僧伽并已食竟，汝可随喜。”是时淫女既得钵食，置余器中，便于钵底见尊者字，知是圣者阿尼卢驮所用之钵，便作是念：“阿遮利耶乃见人天之所供养，我今有幸得见彼钵，若我空然而送还者失大福利，事不应尔。”即取其钵周遍揩拭，复用香汤再三净洗，涂以香泥置妙座上，右膝着地持妙花鬘虔诚供养，烧香普熏发愿而住。时有婆罗门，亦于淫女先有相知，来至其所见女供养，问言：“贤首！汝何所为？”答曰：“此钵乃是尊者阿尼卢驮所受用器，即是人天所共尊重。我于此钵略申供养。”婆罗门曰：“汝以淫染总摄诸人，沙门释子亦不见放。”时诸苾刍闻是事已，以缘白佛，佛言：“凡诸苾刍，于己物上书名字者，有如是过，是故不应书己名字。”时诸苾刍不知何物是不应书？佛言：“有五种物皆不应书：谓别解脱戒经、 现代汉语译本 于是（长者）派遣使者禀告**（姓名未知）说：‘我今天邀请了佛陀和僧众，明天在家中准备了丰盛的供养，你可以来这里亲手奉食。’当时**（姓名未知）因为有其他事情，没能亲自前往。佛陀和僧伽如约前来应邀，用完饼食后，说了施食的偈颂，然后从座位上离开了。当时那位长者是阿尼卢驮（Aniruddha，佛陀十大弟子之一，意为‘如意’或‘无违’）的弟子和朋友，佛陀和僧众离开后，只有他的弟子还没有离开长者的家。这时，长者说道：‘大德！希望借用您的钵一会儿，我想把剩下的食物送给别人。’这位比丘就把他老师的钵给了长者。长者用钵盛满了香美的食物，派人送给**（姓名未知），并附带说：‘贤首！我供养三宝这些食物，佛陀和僧伽都已经用完了，你可以随喜。’当时**（姓名未知）得到钵和食物后，把食物放到其他的器皿中，在钵底看到了尊者（阿尼卢驮）的名字，知道这是圣者阿尼卢驮所用的钵，于是就想：‘我的阿遮利耶（Acariya，梵文，意为‘导师’）是人天所供养的，我今天有幸能见到他的钵，如果我空着手送回去，就失去了很大的福报，不应该这样做。’于是就拿起钵，仔仔细细地擦拭干净，又用香汤反复清洗，涂上香泥，放在精美的座位上，右膝跪地，手持美丽的花鬘，虔诚地供养，点燃香，普遍地熏香，发愿而住。当时有一位婆罗门，也是**（姓名未知）以前认识的人，来到她这里，看到她在供养，就问：‘贤首！你这是在做什么？’回答说：‘这个钵是尊者阿尼卢驮所使用的器物，是人天共同尊重的。我对此钵略微表达我的供养。’婆罗门说：‘你用淫欲之心笼络所有人，连沙门释子也不放过。’当时各位比丘听到这件事后，把情况禀告了佛陀，佛陀说：‘凡是各位比丘，在自己的物品上写名字的，会有这样的过失，所以不应该写自己的名字。’当时各位比丘不知道什么东西是不应该写名字的？佛陀说：‘有五种东西都不应该写名字：就是别解脱戒经、’
