English version 'A Bhikkhu (Buddhist monk) who is eating should not be made to stop.' What is considered the time for eating?' The Buddha said, 'Even accepting salt or a leaf for food, one should not be made to stop.' As the World Honored One said, 'A Bhikkhu receiving food should not be made to stop.' At that time, the group of six Bhikkhus, in order to go to the seat of the senior monks, received food first. Then the Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'One should not receive food first in order to go to the seat of the senior monks; whoever does so commits a Dukkata (a minor offense). All Bhikkhus should know the order of seating well.' Regarding the dye vats and various basins belonging to the Sangha (Buddhist monastic community), when one Bhikkhu took dye for his robe first, the group of six Bhikkhus said, 'Ayasma (term of respect for a senior monk)! I am older and should use it first.' They poured out the dye and forcibly took it for their own use, causing the other Bhikkhu's work to be delayed. The Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'Regarding the dyeing utensils and dye basins of the Sangha, one should not forcibly take them while another is using them; one should take them after the matter is finished. Whoever takes them before it is finished commits a Dukkata.' As the World Honored One said, 'One should not take a dyeing utensil when it is dirty.' At that time, the group of six Bhikkhus had only dyed a small piece of cloth and deliberately dirtied the dye, intending to keep the dyeing utensil and hinder others from using it. The Buddha said, 'If the overall dyeing is done with the cloth in the dye, then it is called dirtying; one should not deliberately hinder others for a small matter. Whoever violates this commits a Dukkata.' The location of the incident is the same as before. At that time, Anathapindika (a wealthy merchant and a chief patron of the Buddha) built a wooden fence around Jetavana (a famous monastery donated to the Buddha). Some laypeople destroyed the wooden fence and stole the grass and trees. The Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'Have someone guard it.' After someone was assigned to guard it, the guard abandoned the wood and ran away, and no one collected it, so it all rotted and was ruined. The Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'The ruined and useless wood can be put in the Sangha's kitchen to be used as firewood, and the remaining usable wood should be given to the workers.' At that time, the group of six Bhikkhus destroyed and burned all the wood suitable for construction and used it for dyeing. The Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha, and the Buddha said, 'Bhikkhus should not burn the miscellaneous wood needed by the construction workers. Whoever violates this commits a Dukkata.' The seventh summary verse says: The things given by the elder, should be left after asking; Follow -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 处莫废他， 洗身方入寺。

尔时佛在室罗伐城。时给孤独长者请世尊曰：“佛听许者，我今更欲以逝多林重施僧伽。”佛告长者：“随意应作。”时彼长者，于逝多林内所有树木，是男声者，则为男子衣服而严饰之。女声树者，作女人服而为严饰。乃至寺中庭、经行处、门屋下、浴室内、众食堂、供病堂、常食堂，悉皆如是为严饰已，舍与僧伽。时诸苾刍得此衣服，不知云何？以缘白佛，佛言：“应问长者。”既往问已，长者答曰：“随所施处物应属彼。”佛言：“是男女声树，乃至遍寺所有衣服，随其处所各以箱箧藏举。若于后时，逝多林内人作大会，还随其处准前严饰。在墙壁者，应将画壁。若在温暖堂，应买薪以充然用。在浴室者供洗浴事，在贮水堂者以充大众。时非时浆用，若在供病堂，应与作美膳供养。或时近院或复楼阁檐前、经行处或近门边，现前僧应分。若寺中庭内者属四方僧用。”时诸苾刍作断惑禅堂静虑之处，修诸善品。是时六众来至此堂，唤他令起云：“我耆年。”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“不应于此而作随年、令他苾刍辄为起动。若令起者咸得越法罪。”时诸苾刍从座而起暂去经行，六众遂来坐其座处令他废事，佛言：“他先坐处不应辄坐，汝等苾刍欲经行，时先以绮带或僧脚欹 现代汉语译本：不要随意打断他人的修行，应先沐浴净身才能进入寺庙。 当时佛陀在室罗伐城。给孤独长者（Anathapindika）禀告世尊说：‘如果佛陀允许，我希望再次将逝多林（Jetavana）捐赠给僧伽。’佛陀告诉长者：‘可以随意进行。’当时，长者在逝多林内的所有树木，如果是男性的声音，就用男子的衣服来装饰；如果是女性的声音，就用女人的衣服来装饰。甚至寺庙中的庭院、经行处、门屋下、浴室、众食堂、供病堂、常食堂，都像这样装饰完毕，然后捐赠给僧伽。当时，众比丘得到这些衣服，不知道该如何处理，于是将情况禀告佛陀。佛陀说：‘应该去问长者。’他们去问了长者，长者回答说：‘根据所施之处，物品应归属于该处。’佛陀说：‘这些男女声树，乃至整个寺庙所有的衣服，都应根据其所在之处，分别用箱子收藏起来。如果在以后，逝多林内举行大型集会，就按照原来的样子进行装饰。在墙壁上的，应该用来画壁画。在温暖堂的，应该购买柴火来燃烧。在浴室的，用来提供洗浴。在储水堂的，用来供给大众饮用。在供病堂的，应该用来制作美味的食物供养病人。或者靠近院子、楼阁屋檐前、经行处或靠近门边的，应由现前僧众分配。如果在寺庙庭院内的，属于四方僧众使用。’当时，众比丘在断惑禅堂（a place for meditation to cut off delusions）静心禅定，修习各种善行。这时，六群比丘（the group of six monks known for causing trouble）来到这个禅堂，叫其他比丘起身，说：‘我们年长。’众比丘将情况禀告佛陀。佛陀说：‘不应该在这里按照年龄大小来决定座位，也不应该随意让其他比丘起身。如果让人起身，都会犯越法罪（an offense against the Dharma）。’当时，众比丘从座位上起身，暂时离开去经行，六群比丘就来坐在他们的座位上，妨碍他们修行。佛陀说：‘不应该随意坐在他人先坐的位置上。如果你们比丘想要经行，应该先用绮带（a colorful ribbon）或僧脚欹（a part of the monk's robe）

English version: Do not casually interrupt others' practice; one should purify oneself by bathing before entering the temple. At that time, the Buddha was in Shravasti (a major city in ancient India). The Elder Anathapindika (a wealthy merchant and a major patron of the Buddha) reported to the World Honored One, saying, 'If the Buddha permits, I wish to donate the Jetavana (a famous monastery) to the Sangha again.' The Buddha told the Elder, 'You may do as you wish.' At that time, the Elder decorated all the trees in Jetavana; those with male voices were adorned with men's clothing, and those with female voices were adorned with women's clothing. Even the courtyards, walking paths, under the eaves, bathrooms, dining halls, sick halls, and regular dining halls in the temple were decorated in this way before being donated to the Sangha. At that time, the Bhikshus (monks) received these clothes and did not know what to do with them, so they reported the situation to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'You should ask the Elder.' They went to ask the Elder, and the Elder replied, 'According to the place of donation, the items should belong to that place.' The Buddha said, 'These trees with male and female voices, and all the clothes throughout the temple, should be collected in boxes according to their location. If, in the future, a large gathering is held in Jetavana, they should be decorated as before. Those on the walls should be used to paint murals. Those in the warm room should be used to buy firewood for burning. Those in the bathroom should be used for bathing. Those in the water storage hall should be used to supply the public with water. Those in the sick hall should be used to make delicious food to offer to the sick. Or those near the courtyard, under the eaves of the pavilion, on the walking paths, or near the door, should be distributed by the present Sangha. Those in the temple courtyard belong to the Sangha of the four directions.' At that time, the Bhikshus were meditating in the meditation hall for cutting off delusions (a place for meditation to cut off delusions), cultivating various good deeds. At this time, the group of six monks (the group of six monks known for causing trouble) came to this hall and told other Bhikshus to get up, saying, 'We are older.' The Bhikshus reported the situation to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'One should not determine seating based on age here, nor should one casually ask other Bhikshus to get up. If one asks someone to get up, one will commit an offense against the Dharma (an offense against the Dharma).' At that time, the Bhikshus got up from their seats and temporarily left to walk around, and the group of six monks came and sat in their seats, hindering their practice. The Buddha said, 'One should not casually sit in a seat that someone else has already taken. If you Bhikshus want to walk around, you should first use a colorful ribbon (a colorful ribbon) or a part of the monk's robe (a part of the monk's robe)' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

留安坐处然后经行。”复有苾刍，于廊庭柱打拍皮鞋，有余苾刍见而嫌耻，以缘白佛，佛言：“道行轨式我今当制。凡诸苾刍道路行时，欲须入寺随有水处，安置衣钵抖擞衣已，次浴身体下至手足，洗灌尘垢添净水瓶，方以破布拂拭皮鞋，然后披衣容仪详审，徐行入寺。” 第八子摄颂曰： 剃刀并镊子， 用竟不应留； 便利若了时， 无宜室中住。 如世尊说：“剃刀镊子应随畜。”者，六众苾刍自取僧伽剃刀镊子，剃发既竟他取不还，报云：“后时我更须用。”时诸苾刍以缘白佛，佛言：“汝等苾刍，用众刀讫不应便留。用刀既然，石镊刀子及承足物，应知亦尔。”六众苾刍入小便室，事既了已仍住室中，余人欲入而故遮止，告言：“莫入！我当在后更拟小便。”故恼于他令生嫌耻。以缘白佛，佛言：“小便若了不应久住，更停住者得恶作罪，于大便处故恼他人，得罪亦尔。” 第九子摄颂曰： 窣睹波围绕， 广陈诸圣迹； 浊水随应饮， 若咸分别知。 尔时给孤独长者请世尊曰：“我于如来发爪窣睹波处欲为庄严，若佛听者我当营造。”佛告长者：“随意应作。”长者不知云何而作？佛言：“始从睹史多天下生赡部，化导有情乃至涅槃，本生圣迹随意应作 现代汉语译本：'留下来安顿好座位的地方，然后再去经行。'又有比丘（Bhikkhu，佛教僧侣），在廊庭的柱子上拍打皮鞋，其他比丘见了觉得羞耻，将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：'修道的行为规范我现在应当制定。凡是各位比丘在道路行走时，想要进入寺庙，应在有水的地方，安置好衣钵，抖擞衣服，然后沐浴身体，从上到下清洗手脚，洗去尘垢，添满净水瓶，再用破布擦拭皮鞋，然后披上袈裟，仪容详审，慢慢地进入寺庙。' 第八子摄颂说： '剃刀和镊子，用完不应留下；便利完毕后，不宜在室内久留。' 如世尊所说：'剃刀镊子应当随身携带。'六众比丘自己取用僧团的剃刀镊子，剃完头发后，别人取用时不归还，声称：'以后我还要用。'当时，各位比丘将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：'你们各位比丘，用完大众的刀后不应随意留下。用刀如此，石镊、刀子以及承足之物，应当知道也是如此。'六众比丘进入小便室，事情完毕后仍然留在室内，其他人想要进入却故意阻止，声称：'不要进入！我还要在后面小便。'故意恼乱他人，使他人感到羞耻。将此事禀告佛陀，佛陀说：'小便完毕后不应久留，再停留者，犯恶作罪。在大便处故意恼乱他人，得罪也是如此。' 第九子摄颂说： '围绕佛塔（Stupa，佛教建筑，通常存放遗物），广泛陈列各种圣迹；浑浊的水也应饮用，如果咸的要知道分辨。' 当时，给孤独长者（Anathapindika，佛教著名护法居士）请问世尊：'我想在如来佛的发爪佛塔（Stupa，佛教建筑，通常存放遗物）处进行庄严，如果佛陀允许，我就建造。'佛陀告诉长者：'随意应作。'长者不知道应该如何建造？佛陀说：'从兜率天（Tushita Heaven，佛教欲界天之一）降生到赡部洲（Jambudvipa，四大部洲之一，我们所居住的世界），化导有情众生乃至涅槃，本生圣迹随意应作。

English version: 'Remain where you have settled your seat, and then walk about.' Again, a Bhikkhu (Bhikkhu, Buddhist monk) was slapping his leather shoes against the pillars of the corridor. Other Bhikkhus, seeing this, felt ashamed and reported the matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'I shall now establish the rules of conduct for the practice of the Way. Whenever you Bhikkhus are walking on the road and wish to enter a monastery, you should find a place with water, set down your robes and alms bowl, shake out your robes, then bathe your body, washing your hands and feet from top to bottom, cleansing away the dust and grime, and refill your water bottle. Then, wipe your leather shoes with a rag, put on your robes, carefully examine your appearance, and slowly enter the monastery.' The eighth chapter's summary verse says: 'Razor and tweezers, should not be left after use; after relieving oneself, one should not linger in the room.' As the World Honored One said, 'Razor and tweezers should be carried with you.' The six Bhikkhus took the Sangha's (Sangha, Buddhist monastic community) razor and tweezers for themselves. After shaving their hair, they did not return them when others wanted to use them, saying, 'I will need them later.' At that time, the Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'You Bhikkhus should not leave the community's razor after using it. Just as with the razor, so too with the stone tweezers, knives, and footrests, you should know the same.' The six Bhikkhus entered the lavatory. After finishing their business, they remained in the room, preventing others from entering, saying, 'Do not enter! I will urinate again later.' They deliberately annoyed others, causing them to feel ashamed. They reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'After urinating, one should not linger. Remaining longer incurs a Dukkaṭa (Dukkaṭa, a minor offense in Buddhist monastic rules) offense. Deliberately annoying others in the latrine incurs the same offense.' The ninth chapter's summary verse says: 'Surround the Stupa (Stupa, a Buddhist structure, usually containing relics), widely display the sacred sites; turbid water should also be drunk, and if it is salty, know to distinguish it.' At that time, Anathapindika (Anathapindika, a famous lay disciple and benefactor of the Buddha) asked the World Honored One, 'I wish to adorn the Stupa (Stupa, a Buddhist structure, usually containing relics) where the Tathagata's (Tathagata, an epithet of the Buddha) hair and nails are kept. If the Buddha permits, I will build it.' The Buddha told the elder, 'You should do as you wish.' The elder did not know how to build it. The Buddha said, 'Starting from descending from Tushita Heaven (Tushita Heaven, one of the heavens in the desire realm of Buddhism) to Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, one of the four continents, the world we live in), guiding sentient beings until Nirvana, you should create the sacred sites of his past lives as you wish.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
