English version: ‘All these things, you should take, do not have doubts.’ The Buddha told the Bhikshus (bhikkhus): ‘Whatever I have exceptionally allowed for the sick to eat at improper times, you should not do after the illness is cured.

又开诸苾刍畜用𣰽毹，不知何者是所应畜？”佛言：“七种缕作应可畜持。”“又开诸苾刍为洗足故畜承足枮，不知何物？”佛言：“除宝。” 缘处同前。时有长者，身婴重病，往医人处问言：“贤首！以所宜药为我处方。”医人答言：“先食腻物令其动病，然后应可服于泻药。”长者闻已遂服酥油。时有苾刍是彼长者常所供养，来过其舍慰问病人：“气力安不？”答言：“圣者！我仍带病，医人处方先服酥油后服泻药。”时彼苾刍报长者曰：“我善医方，尔有药直拟酬医者宜将与我，我有泻药可持与汝。”长者闻已答言：“甚善！”苾刍持药与彼令服。是时长者药利过度，令一使人疾往医所问言：“贤首！我之家主药利不停。”彼医问言：“何人授药？”使者报曰：“有一苾刍。”医人闻已情生瞋忿：“汝应往彼问是何药？”及其覆往苾刍处问，时彼长者便已命终。时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“汝诸苾刍！不应卖药。若苾刍善医方者，起慈愍心应病与药。然诸苾刍，不应与他泻药舍之而去，应自观察勿令过度。设有他行，嘱人看守然后应去，仍报彼言：‘利若过度，应以某药为解。’若有苾刍，受他价直然后与药，及以受雇为客作者，得恶作罪。” 缘处同前。时有一人，负长者债，因被拘留经七八 现代汉语译本 ‘又允许各位苾刍（Bhikkhus，比丘）使用𣰽毹（坐具），但不知道哪些是可以使用的？’佛陀说：‘七种线织成的可以持有使用。’‘又允许各位苾刍为了洗脚的缘故使用承足枮（足垫），不知道什么材质的可以？’佛陀说：‘除了宝物（制成的）都可以。’ 事情的起因和地点与之前相同。当时有一位长者（富人）身患重病，前往医生处询问说：‘贤首（医生）！请给我开一些适合的药方。’医生回答说：‘先吃一些油腻的食物，让病情发作，然后才可以服用泻药。’长者听后就服用了酥油。当时有一位苾刍是这位长者经常供养的，来到他家慰问病人：‘身体好些了吗？’长者回答说：‘圣者！我仍然带着病，医生开的药方是先服用酥油，然后服用泻药。’当时那位苾刍告诉长者说：‘我擅长医方，你如果有给医生诊金的打算，不如给我，我有泻药可以给你。’长者听后回答说：‘很好！’苾刍拿药给长者服用。当时这位长者因为药物泻利过度，让一个仆人赶紧去医生那里询问说：‘贤首！我的主人泻利不止。’医生问：‘是谁给的药？’仆人回答说：‘有一位苾刍。’医生听后非常生气：‘你应该去问他那是什么药？’等到仆人返回苾刍处询问时，那位长者已经去世了。当时各位苾刍将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：‘你们各位苾刍！不应该卖药。如果苾刍擅长医方，应该以慈悲心根据病情给药。然而各位苾刍，不应该给别人泻药就离开，应该自己观察，不要让泻利过度。如果需要离开，应该嘱咐别人看守，然后才可以离开，并且告诉那人：‘如果泻利过度，应该用某种药来缓解。’如果有苾刍，收取别人的钱财然后给药，以及接受雇佣作为佣工的，犯恶作罪。’ 事情的起因和地点与之前相同。当时有一个人，欠长者的债，因此被拘留了七八天。

English version ‘Furthermore, the Bhikkhus (monks) are permitted to use 𣰽毹 (sitting cloths), but they do not know which ones are permissible to possess.’ The Buddha said, ‘Those made of seven kinds of thread are permissible to possess and use.’ ‘Furthermore, the Bhikkhus are permitted to use foot rests (承足枮) for the purpose of washing their feet, but they do not know what materials are permissible.’ The Buddha said, ‘Anything except for those made of precious materials.’ The circumstances and location are the same as before. At that time, there was a wealthy man (长者, elder/wealthy man) who was seriously ill. He went to a doctor and asked, ‘Wise one (贤首, virtuous one/doctor), please prescribe some suitable medicine for me.’ The doctor replied, ‘First, eat some greasy food to aggravate the illness, and then you can take a laxative.’ After hearing this, the wealthy man consumed ghee (酥油, clarified butter). At that time, there was a Bhikkhu who was regularly supported by this wealthy man. He came to his house to inquire about the patient’s well-being: ‘Are you feeling better?’ The wealthy man replied, ‘Venerable one (圣者, holy one), I am still ill. The doctor prescribed that I first take ghee and then a laxative.’ Then that Bhikkhu told the wealthy man, ‘I am skilled in medicine. If you were planning to pay the doctor, you can give the payment to me. I have a laxative that I can give you.’ The wealthy man replied, ‘Very well!’ The Bhikkhu gave the medicine to the wealthy man to take. At that time, the wealthy man had excessive purging due to the medicine, and he sent a servant to the doctor to ask, ‘Wise one, my master’s purging is not stopping.’ The doctor asked, ‘Who gave him the medicine?’ The servant replied, ‘A Bhikkhu did.’ The doctor became very angry upon hearing this: ‘You should go and ask him what medicine it was.’ By the time the servant returned to the Bhikkhu to ask, the wealthy man had already died. At that time, the Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, ‘You Bhikkhus should not sell medicine. If a Bhikkhu is skilled in medicine, he should give medicine according to the illness with a compassionate heart. However, Bhikkhus should not give others a laxative and then leave. They should observe carefully and not let the purging be excessive. If they need to leave, they should entrust someone to watch over the patient and then leave, and also tell that person: ‘If the purging is excessive, you should use a certain medicine to relieve it.’ If a Bhikkhu receives payment and then gives medicine, or accepts employment as a worker, he commits a Dukkaṭa (恶作, wrong doing) offense.’ The circumstances and location are the same as before. At that time, there was a person who owed a debt to a wealthy man and was therefore detained for seven or eight days. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

日，共立要契，某日当还。时负债人便作是念：“期日既逼，无可还彼，我应藏避。”复更思惟：“舍家逃窜此事为难，我当杀彼。”是时长者近逝多林，为负债人之所杀害，身有衣服，六众见已共相谓言：“今时丰足粪扫之衣。”作是语已，即便共取。是时长者亲族来见，恶言骂曰：“圣者！着大仙衣作斯非法极为鄙贱。”六众报曰：“此非我杀，别有怨家来断其命，我等今者取粪扫衣，此有何过？”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“汝诸苾刍！不应辄取此粪扫衣，若其大众共知弃物，是衣应取。若不尔者得恶作罪。” 第六子摄颂曰： 铁锅并杵杓， 自身不负担； 以食供父母， 毛緂不充衣。 尔时佛在室罗伐城。具寿邬波离白世尊言：“如佛所说：‘为温水故，开诸苾刍畜大铁锅令安锁。’者，以何物作？”佛言：“除宝。”“听诸苾刍为煎药故畜杓器者，以何物作？”佛言：“除宝。” 缘处同前。时六众苾刍身自负担，或于肩上擎持大幞。时婆罗门居士见已讥曰：“圣者！我等俗人，为于父母妻子眷属，求觅衣食以身荷负。仁等为谁自为劳事？”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“汝诸苾刍！不应头背肩腰而为担负擎持大幞。若有犯者得恶作罪。” 缘处同前。时有居士，娶 现代汉语译本： 从前，有一个人与长者共同立下契约，约定某日偿还债务。当时，这个欠债的人便这样想：‘约定的日期已经逼近，我没有办法偿还他，我应该藏起来躲避。’他又进一步思量：‘舍弃家园逃跑这件事太难了，我不如杀了他。’当时，这位长者在靠近逝多林（Jetavana，祇园精舍）的地方，被这个欠债的人杀害了。他的身上穿着衣服，六众（指六群比丘）看见后，互相说道：‘现在正是丰收的时候，这些粪扫衣（pamsukula，指被丢弃的衣服）很多。’说完这些话后，他们便一起拿走了长者的衣服。这时，长者的亲族来后看见了，恶语谩骂道：‘圣者！穿着大仙的衣服，做这种非法的事情，真是极其卑贱。’六众回答说：‘不是我们杀的，是另有仇家来取了他的性命，我们现在只是拿走这些粪扫衣，这有什么过错呢？’当时，各位比丘将这件事禀告了佛陀，佛陀说：‘你们各位比丘！不应该随便拿取这种粪扫衣，如果大众都知道是被丢弃的物品，这衣服才可以拿取。如果不是这样，就会犯恶作罪（dukkhata，一种轻微的罪过）。’ 第六子摄颂说： 铁锅和杵杓，自身不负担；以食物供养父母，毛緂（kambala，一种毛织物）不足以御寒。 当时，佛陀在室罗伐城（Sravasti，舍卫城）。具寿邬波离（Upali，优波离）禀告世尊说：‘正如佛陀您所说：‘为了温水，允许各位比丘畜养大铁锅并安上锁。’那么，这铁锅应该用什么材料制作呢？’佛陀说：‘除了宝物。’‘允许各位比丘为了煎药而畜养勺子，那么，这勺子应该用什么材料制作呢？’佛陀说：‘除了宝物。’ 事情的起因和地点与之前相同。当时，六众比丘自身背负，或者在肩膀上扛着大包裹。当时，婆罗门（Brahmin）居士看见后讥讽道：‘圣者！我们这些俗人，为了父母、妻子、眷属，寻求衣食而以身体负担重物。你们是为了谁而自己做这些劳累的事情呢？’当时，各位比丘将这件事禀告了佛陀，佛陀说：‘你们各位比丘！不应该用头、背、肩膀、腰来负担或扛着大包裹。如果有人违犯，就会犯恶作罪。’ 事情的起因和地点与之前相同。当时，有一位居士，娶...

English version: Once upon a time, a person made an agreement with an elder, promising to repay a debt on a certain day. At that time, the debtor thought, 'The agreed date is approaching, and I have no way to repay him. I should hide and avoid him.' He further pondered, 'Abandoning my home and fleeing is too difficult. I might as well kill him.' At that time, this elder, near Jetavana (Jetavana, the Grove of Jeta), was killed by this debtor. He was wearing clothes, and the Six Monks (referring to the group of six monks) saw it and said to each other, 'Now is the time of abundance, and there are many discarded robes (pamsukula, referring to discarded clothes).' After saying these words, they took the elder's clothes together. At this time, the elder's relatives came and saw it, and scolded them with harsh words, 'Saints! Wearing the clothes of a great ascetic and doing such illegal things is extremely despicable.' The Six Monks replied, 'We didn't kill him. Another enemy came and took his life. We are just taking these discarded robes now. What's wrong with that?' At that time, the monks reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'You monks! You should not take these discarded robes casually. If the public knows that they are discarded items, then the clothes can be taken. If not, you will commit a sin of wrong-doing (dukkhata, a minor offense).' The summary verse of the sixth section says: Iron pots and pestles, do not carry them yourselves; provide food for your parents, and woolen blankets (kambala, a type of woolen fabric) are not enough to keep you warm. At that time, the Buddha was in Sravasti (Sravasti). The Venerable Upali (Upali) reported to the World Honored One, 'As the Buddha said, 'For the sake of warm water, allow the monks to keep large iron pots and put locks on them.' Then, what material should these iron pots be made of?' The Buddha said, 'Except for treasures.' 'Allow the monks to keep spoons for decocting medicine, then what material should these spoons be made of?' The Buddha said, 'Except for treasures.' The cause and location of the incident are the same as before. At that time, the Six Monks carried burdens themselves, or carried large bundles on their shoulders. At that time, the Brahmin (Brahmin) householders saw it and ridiculed them, 'Saints! We laypeople seek food and clothing for our parents, wives, and relatives, and carry heavy loads with our bodies. For whom are you doing these laborious things yourselves?' At that time, the monks reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'You monks! You should not carry or bear large bundles on your heads, backs, shoulders, or waists. If anyone violates this, they will commit a sin of wrong-doing.' The cause and location of the incident are the same as before. At that time, there was a householder who married... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
