English version: ‘Venerable Sir! I am fortunate to have your forbearance.’ That elder Bhikshu, greatly angered, said to others: ‘Venerable Sirs! Please look at this person, who deliberately comes to trouble me.’ The young man then thought: ‘Because the World-Honored One, the Buddha, sent me to repent and apologize, I should abide in compassion and with a mind to benefit others. However, since this Bhikshu shows no joy at my arrival, why should I seek his forgiveness?’ He then no longer approached to pay his respects. Later, at another time, that elder Bhikshu was walking back and forth with other Bhikshus, conversing together. At that time, the young man was heading towards where they were walking, intending to pay respects to the others. Upon seeing him, the others said to the elder: ‘Venerable Sir! This person's precepts are pure, why not accept his repentance?’ The elder replied: ‘This person has an evil mind and only comes to pay respects to you.’ At that time, the elder Bhikshu said to the person beside him: ‘You now witness that he only pays respects to you and not to me, personally verifying that this person certainly harbors evil intentions.’ At that time, the person beside him said to the young man: ‘This person's precepts are pure, why not pay respects to him?’ At that time, the young Bhikshu explained the previous events in detail. At that time, the Bhikshus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said: ‘Whenever those who are in dispute come close to each other, they should pay respects to each other. The other party should reply: ‘No problem.’ Those who do not follow this practice both incur a Dukkrata (evil deed) offense. They should simply join their palms together to show respect.’ At that time, the Venerable (Ayasma) Upali reported to the World-Honored One (Bhagavan): ‘During the time of ordination, the person being ordained says such words: ‘Venerable Sirs! You should not allow me to continue to receive Upasampada (full ordination).’ At that time, the Bhikshus forcibly ordained him, not knowing whether this person can achieve Upasampada?’ The Buddha said: ‘Upali! The ordination cannot be achieved. Having spoken such words, it can still be called abandoning the precepts, let alone being called a good reception at the time of ordination?’ As the World-Honored One said: ‘A Sramanera (novice monk) who is twenty years old should receive Upasampada.’ But this Sramanera does not know how old he is? At that time, the Bhikshus also had doubts and did not give him Upasampada, at that time that person remained with a guarded mind. At that time, the Bhikshus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said: ‘You should observe his appearance.’ At that time, the Bhikshus exposed his body, observing his private parts and armpits, and he felt ashamed. The World-Honored One told them: ‘You can hang the bottle and bowl bag on high ivory pegs and bamboo poles, etc., or...’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

余衣物而告彼言:‘汝今可取彼衣钵来。’当举手时应观腋下毛相长短。”复白佛言:“如诸求寂正受戒时,诸苾刍众遂便为秉苾刍尼羯磨而受近圆,得名受不?”佛言:“成受近圆,诸苾刍得越法罪。” 第二子摄颂曰: 草田村略说, 生心褒洒陀, 贼缚不同愆, 六开僧教罪。 尔时佛在室罗伐城。时诸苾刍与诸商旅共伴而行,至褒洒陀日,见有空闲软草之地,共相谓曰:“诸大德!好软草地,我等于此为褒洒陀。”即便共坐为长净事。乃至事了,勇健商人悉皆过尽。时诸苾刍随后而去,咸被贼劫。来入寺中,时旧苾刍见此客来,便即问曰:“善来大德!安乐行不?”答言:“何有安乐?我被贼劫仅存余命。”时诸苾刍以缘白佛,佛言:“不应贪其软草平处而为长净,须逐行伴至村邑已方为长净。”如世尊说:“近村邑处方为长净。”时诸苾刍半已入村、半在村外,便作是念:“我今别住为作长净为不作耶?”时诸苾刍以缘白佛,佛言:“其入村者,应集一处而为长净。在村外者,离村势分共集一处为长净事。苾刍未集不应长净,若不集者得越法罪。”又诸苾刍共诸商旅在道而行,至长净日,诸苾刍等告商人曰:“贤首!暂住。我今欲为长净之事。”商人告曰:“此有贼怖,仁可急来 现代汉语译本:脱下我的衣服和钵,告诉他们:‘你们现在可以把那些衣钵拿来。’当举手时,应该观察腋下毛发的长短。”阿难又禀告佛说:“如果那些沙弥在正式受戒时,众比丘就为他们举行比丘尼的羯磨(受戒仪式),而让他们受了具足戒,这样能算作受戒成功吗?”佛说:“算是受了具足戒,但那些比丘犯了越法的罪过。” 第二子摄颂说: 草地田野乡村略说,生起贪心行褒洒陀, 被贼人捆绑是不同的过错,六种开缘僧团的罪过。 当时,佛陀在室罗伐城(Śrāvastī,古印度城市)。当时,一些比丘和一些商人结伴而行,到了褒洒陀日(Poṣadha,布萨日),看到一块空闲的柔软草地,互相说道:‘诸位大德!这草地真柔软,我们就在这里举行褒洒陀。’于是就一起坐下,进行长净(布萨)仪式。等到仪式结束,那些勇健的商人都已经走远了。这时,比丘们随后赶去,却都被贼人抢劫了。他们回到寺院,寺院里原先的比丘看到这些客人来了,就问:‘欢迎大德!一路平安吗?’他们回答说:‘哪里有什么平安?我们被贼人抢劫,好不容易才保住性命。’比丘们将这件事禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘不应该贪图柔软平坦的草地而举行长净,必须跟随商队到达村庄后才能举行长净。’正如世尊所说:‘靠近村庄的地方才能举行长净。’当时,一些比丘已经进入村庄,一些比丘还在村庄外面,他们就想:‘我们现在是分开住,要举行长净呢,还是不举行呢?’比丘们将这件事禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘那些已经进入村庄的比丘,应该聚集在一处举行长净。那些还在村庄外面的比丘,离开村庄的势力范围,聚集在一处举行长净。比丘们没有聚集在一起,不应该举行长净,如果不聚集就举行长净,就犯了越法的罪过。’还有一些比丘和一些商人在路上行走,到了长净日,比丘们告诉商人说:‘贤首(尊称)!请暂时停留。我们现在要举行长净仪式。’商人告诉他们说:‘这里有贼人的威胁,你们快点来吧!’

English version: He should take off my robes and bowl and tell them, 'You can now take those robes and bowl.' When raising his hand, he should observe the length of the hair under his armpits.' Ānanda further reported to the Buddha, 'If those novices, when formally receiving the precepts, the assembly of Bhikshus then perform the Karma (ordination ceremony) of Bhikshunis for them and allow them to receive the full ordination, can this be considered a successful ordination?' The Buddha said, 'It is considered to have received the full ordination, but those Bhikshus have committed a transgression of the law.' The second subsidiary verse says: Grassland fields and villages briefly described, arising greed to perform Poṣadha, Being bound by thieves is a different fault, six kinds of allowable Sangha's offenses. At that time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī (ancient Indian city). At that time, some Bhikshus were traveling with some merchants, and when it came to the Poṣadha (Uposatha) day, they saw a vacant piece of soft grass and said to each other, 'Virtuous ones! This grass is so soft, let us hold the Poṣadha here.' So they sat down together and performed the long purification (Uposatha) ceremony. By the time the ceremony was over, those brave merchants had all gone far away. At this time, the Bhikshus followed after them, but were all robbed by thieves. They returned to the monastery, and the original Bhikshus in the monastery saw these guests coming and asked, 'Welcome, virtuous ones! Are you traveling in peace?' They replied, 'Where is there any peace? We were robbed by thieves and barely saved our lives.' The Bhikshus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'One should not be greedy for soft, flat grass and hold the long purification ceremony. One must follow the caravan to the village before holding the long purification ceremony.' As the World Honored One said, 'The place near the village is where the long purification ceremony can be held.' At that time, some Bhikshus had already entered the village, and some Bhikshus were still outside the village, and they thought, 'Are we now living separately, should we hold the long purification ceremony, or not?' The Bhikshus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'Those Bhikshus who have already entered the village should gather in one place to hold the long purification ceremony. Those Bhikshus who are still outside the village should leave the sphere of influence of the village and gather in one place to hold the long purification ceremony. If the Bhikshus have not gathered together, they should not hold the long purification ceremony, and if they hold the long purification ceremony without gathering together, they have committed a transgression of the law.' There were also some Bhikshus and some merchants traveling on the road, and when it came to the long purification day, the Bhikshus told the merchants, 'Worthy ones! Please stay for a while. We are now going to hold the long purification ceremony.' The merchants told them, 'There is a threat of thieves here, please come quickly!' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

,我不遑住。”时诸苾刍随伴而行,作如是语:“可于此住,可于此住。”遂至天明。诸苾刍等以缘白佛,佛言:“不应至日而不长净,应随道行共为长净。”彼在路行共为长净,时诸商旅皆起讥嫌白言:“圣者!我等畏贼咸悉默然,仁等何因故高声耶?”时诸苾刍以缘白佛,佛言:“不应广说,应略长净。”然彼商人尚怀讥论,世尊告曰:“应可心念而为守持。有六种事心念守持:三衣舍、三衣分别、长衣舍、别请、作长净及随意事。应如是说:‘今十四日僧伽长净,我苾刍某甲于十四日亦为长净。我苾刍某甲,于诸障法自陈遍净。我今且为守持长净,若于后时遇和合众,我当共和合众而为长净,满诸戒聚故。’如是三说。若至此日应为长净,而不作者得恶作罪。”时诸苾刍人间游行被贼所执,贼相告曰:“君等今可净诸苾刍。”时诸苾刍知彼贼意欲行杀害,告彼贼曰:“何意仁等欲害于我?”贼曰:“汝等苾刍,与王大臣长者商客并悉相知,彼于仁处情深信敬,仁当告彼,彼于我等为无利益,为此须净。”是时众内有一苾刍,犯故妄语便自念曰:“我今被杀,带罪身亡当生恶趣。”唤余苾刍就于屏处说所犯罪。时贼见已告曰:“仁者欲往何处?”苾刍报言:“我作少许苾刍法事。”时贼复云:“汝欲逃窜耶?但可 现代汉语译本: ‘我不应该在这里停留。’当时,众比丘跟随他一起行走,并说:‘可以住在这里,可以住在这里。’就这样到了天亮。众比丘将此事禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘不应该到太阳升起还不做长净(Uposatha,布萨),应该沿着道路行走,一起做长净。’他们在路上行走一起做长净时,一些商人开始抱怨说:‘圣者!我们因为害怕盗贼都保持沉默,你们为什么大声喧哗呢?’众比丘将此事禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘不应该详细地说,应该简略地做长净。’然而那些商人仍然心怀不满,世尊告诉他们说:‘应该在心中默念并守护。有六种事情可以在心中默念守护:舍弃三衣、分别三衣、舍弃长衣、个别邀请、做长净以及随意事。应该这样说:‘今天十四日,僧团做长净,我比丘某甲在十四日也做长净。我比丘某甲,对于各种障碍之法,自我陈述清净。我现在暂时守护长净,如果在以后遇到和合的僧众,我应当和和合的僧众一起做长净,圆满各种戒律。’这样说三遍。如果到了应该做长净的日子,而不做长净,就会犯恶作罪。’当时,一些比丘在人间被盗贼抓住,盗贼互相告知说:‘你们现在可以净化这些比丘。’当时,众比丘知道那些盗贼想要杀害他们,就告诉盗贼说:‘你们为什么要杀害我们?’盗贼说:‘你们这些比丘,和国王、大臣、长者、商人全都相识,他们对你们情深信重,你们会告诉他们,他们对我们没有好处,因此必须净化你们。’这时,众人中有一个比丘,犯了故意妄语,就自己想:‘我现在被杀,带着罪过死去,将会堕入恶趣。’他叫来其他比丘,到隐蔽的地方说出所犯的罪。当时盗贼看见了,就问:‘你们想要去哪里?’比丘回答说:‘我做一点比丘的法事。’当时盗贼又说:‘你想要逃跑吗?只是可以

English version: 'I should not dwell here.' At that time, the Bhikshus (monks) walked along with him, saying, 'One can dwell here, one can dwell here.' Thus, it reached dawn. The Bhikshus reported this matter to the Buddha, who said, 'One should not reach sunrise without performing Uposatha (长净, fortnightly observance), one should walk along the road and perform Uposatha together.' As they walked along the road performing Uposatha together, some merchants began to complain, saying, 'Venerable ones! We are silent for fear of thieves, why are you making such a loud noise?' The Bhikshus reported this matter to the Buddha, who said, 'One should not speak at length, one should perform a brief Uposatha.' However, those merchants were still dissatisfied, and the World Honored One told them, 'One should keep it in mind and uphold it. There are six things that can be kept in mind and upheld: giving up the three robes, distinguishing the three robes, giving up the extra robe, individual invitations, performing Uposatha, and discretionary matters. One should say thus: 'Today is the fourteenth day, the Sangha (僧伽, monastic community) performs Uposatha, I, Bhikshu (苾刍, monk) so-and-so, also perform Uposatha on the fourteenth day. I, Bhikshu so-and-so, declare myself pure from all obstructing dharmas. I now temporarily uphold the Uposatha, and if in the future I encounter a harmonious Sangha, I shall perform Uposatha together with the harmonious Sangha, fulfilling all the precepts.' Say this three times. If the day arrives when one should perform Uposatha, and one does not do so, one commits a Dukkaṭa (恶作, offense).’ At that time, some Bhikshus were seized by thieves in the human realm, and the thieves told each other, 'You can now purify these Bhikshus.' At that time, the Bhikshus knew that those thieves intended to kill them, so they told the thieves, 'Why do you want to kill us?' The thieves said, 'You Bhikshus are all acquainted with the kings, ministers, elders, and merchants, and they have deep affection and respect for you. You will tell them, and they will be of no benefit to us, therefore we must purify you.' At this time, one Bhikshu among the group, having committed a deliberate lie, thought to himself, 'If I am killed now, dying with sin, I will be reborn in a bad realm.' He called another Bhikshu to a secluded place and confessed his offense. At that time, the thieves saw them and asked, 'Where do you want to go?' The Bhikshu replied, 'I am doing a little Bhikshu Dharma (法, teaching) matter.' At that time, the thieves said again, 'Do you want to escape?
