English

English version: 'If the Blessed One, the Buddha, had not appeared in the world, we would have considered the heretics as superior. Now that the Blessed One has descended into the world, I regard you (the Buddha) and the benevolent ones (the Sangha) as the supreme fields of merit. If you do not accept these humble offerings, wouldn't it cause us to abandon the resources for accumulating good deeds and proceed from this world to the next?' At that time, the Bhikshus (monks) reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'They should be accepted, regarded as their belongings, protected, and used. If the items are short-haired, light, and thin, these items should be made into long robes and kept. All items that are thick, large, and long-haired should be kept and used with the thought that they are the donor's property.' The seventh section's summary verse says: 'Hair, nails, and stupas (stupa, a dome-shaped structure), can all be made bright white; Wherever you place the lamps, you can build high eaves on one side.' At that time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī (a major city in ancient India). Anāthapiṇḍada (a wealthy merchant known for his generosity) went to the Blessed One and requested, 'I now wish to build a stupa with the Blessed One's hair and nails. May the Blessed One compassionately grant permission.' The Blessed One told him, 'You may do as you wish.' The elder further said, 'Blessed One! May you allow me to smear and wipe that hair and nail stupa with bright white substances, and to arrange and light lamps there as offerings.' The Buddha said, 'You may do as you wish.' The elder placed the lamps on the steps, and the oil dripped down and stained the stupa. The Buddha said, 'You may arrange and light the lamps below the steps.' A dog ate the oil and knocked over and damaged the oil containers. The elder reported to the Buddha, 'Please allow me to build a lamp tree.' The Buddha said, 'You may do as you wish.' A cow came and broke the lamps. The elder reported to the Buddha, 'Please (allow me) to make a lamp stand.' The Buddha said, 'You should make it.' Placing lamps on all four sides would obscure the view. The elder reported to the Buddha, 'Please (allow me) to build high eaves.' The Buddha said, 'As you wish.' The eighth section's summary verse says: 'Doors and eaves, as well as the base of the stupa, Smearing with red stone and purple ore, all these can be done as you wish.' At that time, Anāthapiṇḍada reported to the Blessed One, 'May you allow me to build doors in the empty space in the middle of the hair and nail stupa, and to place eaves and build a stupa base, and to smear it with red stone.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 其柱,于塔壁上紫矿图画。”佛言:“随意。”   第九子摄颂曰:  不应以橛钉,  及升窣睹波,  开许金银花,  塔上以舍盖。

尔时佛在室罗伐城。诸苾刍众于供养时,欲以花鬘挂于塔上,即便登蹑,以钉钉塔挂诸花鬘。时婆罗门居士咸作是言:“仁等大师久除钉刺,何故今者以钉钉之?”时诸苾刍以缘白佛,佛言:“不应于窣睹波上尖刺钉之,若有犯者得恶作罪。然于创始造塔之时,应出傍橛作象牙杙。”时诸苾刍至供养时,遂便登上窣睹波顶而安灯盏,佛言:“不于香台顶上而设灯明,若有犯者得恶作罪。”时诸苾刍上窣睹波,安置幡盖供养之物。时婆罗门居士咸共讥嫌:“不净登蹑。”佛言:“应使俗人。若无俗人应使求寂。若无求寂,诸苾刍等应先濯足净以香汤或涂香泥,作如是念:‘我今为欲供养大师。’然后升塔。若异此者得恶作罪。若窣睹波形高大者,应可以绳系相轮下攀缘而上。”有婆罗门居士,咸来诣发爪窣睹波处,各持花鬘奉献供养,所有干花而不摒除,不能净洁,佛言:“摒除。”时给孤独长者请世尊白:“我今愿以金银花鬘供养发爪窣睹波。”佛言:“随作。”塔上鸟栖不净秽污,欲于其上造立覆舍,佛言:“应作。”复为无门,室闇损坏,佛言:“随意开门。 现代汉语译本: ‘在其柱子上,或者在塔壁上用紫矿颜料作画。’佛说:‘可以随意。’ 第九子摄颂说: ‘不应该用木橛钉,以及攀登佛塔,允许用金银花,在塔上设置顶盖。’ 当时佛在室罗伐城(Śrāvastī,古印度城市)。众比丘在供养时,想要把花鬘挂在塔上,就踩着塔身,用钉子钉在塔上,挂上各种花鬘。当时婆罗门(Brahmin,古印度僧侣阶层)居士们都这样说:‘你们的导师已经去除了钉刺,为什么现在又用钉子钉它呢?’当时众比丘把情况禀告了佛,佛说:‘不应该在窣堵波(stūpa,佛塔)上用尖锐的东西钉刺,如果有人违反,就会犯恶作罪(duṣkṛta,一种轻微的罪过)。但是在最初建造塔的时候,应该伸出旁边的木橛,做成象牙桩。’当时众比丘在供养时,就登上窣堵波的顶部,安放灯盏,佛说:‘不要在香台上设置灯明,如果有人违反,就会犯恶作罪。’当时众比丘登上窣堵波,安置幡盖等供养之物。当时婆罗门居士们都一起讥讽嫌弃:‘不干净的登踩。’佛说:‘应该让俗人来做。如果没有俗人,就应该让沙弥(śrāmaṇera,佛教出家男子)来做。如果没有沙弥,众比丘等应该先洗干净脚,用香汤或者涂香泥,这样想:‘我现在是为了供养大师。’然后才登上塔。如果不是这样,就会犯恶作罪。如果窣堵波的形状高大,应该用绳子系在相轮(cakra,塔顶的轮状装饰)下,攀缘而上。’有婆罗门居士,一起来到供奉头发和指甲的窣堵波处,各自拿着花鬘奉献供养,所有干枯的花而不清除,不能保持清洁,佛说:‘要清除。’当时给孤独(Anāthapiṇḍada,佛教著名护法居士)长者请示世尊说:‘我现在愿意用金银花鬘供养头发和指甲的窣堵波。’佛说:‘可以随意做。’塔上有鸟栖息,不干净的秽物污染了塔,想要在塔上建造覆盖的屋舍,佛说:‘应该建造。’又因为没有门,室内黑暗损坏,佛说:‘可以随意开门。’

English version: ‘On its pillars, or paint pictures with purple mineral pigments on the walls of the stupa (stūpa, a Buddhist monument).’ The Buddha said, ‘As you wish.’ The ninth sonnet says: ‘One should not use pegs to nail, or climb the stupa, allow gold and silver flowers, and place a covering on the stupa.’ At that time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī (Śrāvastī, an ancient Indian city). When the monks were making offerings, they wanted to hang flower garlands on the stupa, so they stepped on the stupa and nailed the garlands to it. At that time, the Brahmin (Brahmin, an ancient Indian priestly class) householders all said, ‘Your teacher has long removed nails and thorns, why do you now nail it?’ At that time, the monks reported the situation to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, ‘One should not nail sharp objects into the stupa, and if anyone violates this, they will commit a duṣkṛta (duṣkṛta, a minor offense). However, when initially building the stupa, one should extend the side pegs and make ivory stakes.’ At that time, when the monks were making offerings, they climbed to the top of the stupa and placed lamps, and the Buddha said, ‘Do not place lamps on the top of the incense altar, and if anyone violates this, they will commit a duṣkṛta.’ At that time, the monks climbed the stupa and placed banners and other offerings. At that time, the Brahmin householders all ridiculed and disliked it: ‘Unclean climbing.’ The Buddha said, ‘One should have laypeople do it. If there are no laypeople, one should have novices (śrāmaṇera, a Buddhist novice monk) do it. If there are no novices, the monks should first wash their feet clean with fragrant water or apply fragrant mud, and think like this: ‘I am now making offerings to the master.’ Then climb the stupa. If it is not done this way, one will commit a duṣkṛta. If the shape of the stupa is tall and large, one should tie a rope under the cakra (cakra, a wheel-like ornament on top of a stupa) and climb up.’ There were Brahmin householders who came to the stupa where hair and nails were enshrined, each holding flower garlands to offer, and all the dried flowers were not removed, and they could not keep it clean, and the Buddha said, ‘Remove them.’ At that time, the elder Anāthapiṇḍada (Anāthapiṇḍada, a famous Buddhist patron) asked the World Honored One, ‘I now wish to offer gold and silver flower garlands to the stupa of hair and nails.’ The Buddha said, ‘Do as you wish.’ Birds roosted on the stupa, and unclean filth polluted the stupa, and they wanted to build a covering house on the stupa, and the Buddha said, ‘One should build it.’ Also, because there was no door, the room was dark and damaged, and the Buddha said, ‘Open the door as you wish.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”   第十子摄颂曰:  铁作窣睹波,  及以金银等,  许幡旗供养,  并可用香油。

English version   The tenth section's summary states:  A stupa (stupa) made of iron,  as well as gold, silver, etc.,  Allowing the offering of banners and flags,  and fragrant oil can also be used.   At that time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī (室罗伐城). The elder Anāthapiṇḍada (给孤独长者) asked the World Honored One, 'May I be permitted to build an iron stupa?' The Buddha said, 'As you wish.' He further said, 'I wish to build it with gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, copper, and so on.' The Buddha said, 'It should be built.' 'Even if it is built, the stupa is not yet well adorned. I wish to offer banners and flags, along with various colored silks.' The Buddha said, 'It should be done.' At that time, he did not understand the method of making flags, so the Buddha said, 'There are four types of flags, namely the lion flag (师子旗), the bull flag (牛旗), the garuda flag (金翅鸟旗), and the dragon flag (龙旗), etc.' He then painted these four images on the flags and banners, and further reported to the Buddha, 'I now wish to first anoint it with fragrant oil, and then use purple ore, turmeric, sandalwood, etc., to make exquisite fragrant water to wash the hair, nails, and the stupa. May I be permitted?' The Buddha said, 'You may do as you wish.' The third section is complete.   The fourth general summary of the Nidana-separate section states:  Door rings can be used anywhere,  staining clothes with urine and feces,  Dyeing clothes, damaging recognized clothes,  buying clothes on credit ultimately leads to no purity.   The first section's summary states:  Door rings, leaning straps, nets,  taking rice for communal meals,  Creating private rooms within the monastery,  residents should receive and use them.   At that time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī. The venerable Upāli (邬波离) reported to the Buddha, 'As the World Honored One said, 'Rings should be installed on the door panels.' The bhikshus do not know what materials should be used?' The Buddha said, 'Except for jewels, other materials may be used.' 'As the World Honored One said, 'Bhikshus should make leaning straps.' They do not know what materials should be used?' The Buddha said, 'Any one of the seven types of threads may be used.' 'The World Honored One also said, 'Nets are allowed.' What materials should be used?' The Buddha said, 'Cogongrass, reeds, hemp, and eulalia may all be used.' 'The World Honored One also said, 'Window nets are allowed.' What materials should be used?' The Buddha said, 'Except for jewels,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 余并应用。”
