English version Deliberately annoying other bhikshus (bhiksu, Buddhist monks), causing them to commit fundamental offenses. If the dining hall, warm room, and bathroom are near the entrance, and the eaves connecting to the monastic residence, these portions should not be allocated to him. Regarding seats and bedding, if other bhikshus do not intend to move them, the first bhikshu to arrive may use them; do not cause later arrivals to leave. Precept concerning deliberately sitting or lying on a bed with detached legs If residing in an upper room, one should not sit on a bed with detached legs; one may use boards to support the bed legs, so that there is no fault in sitting. The term 'detached legs' refers to the condition where the legs are pulled out from the holes; it refers to beds in old houses, which have become rotten over time. If there is nothing to support the legs, one may turn the bed upside down; without harming others, one should use it according to the circumstances. Alternatively, one may use iron nails to fix the legs, preventing them from detaching; one may freely install reverse wedges, or wrap them with straw ropes. Precept concerning the use of water containing insects If there is life in the water, and one uses it to water the ground or trees, etc.; whether doing it oneself or instructing others to do it, one commits an offense of downfall. If one suspects or is uncertain whether there are insects in the water, using it still incurs a fundamental offense; if there are no insects, but one suspects there are, one commits an offense of wrong-doing. If one borrows a jar or well rope from another, and the other person allows its use, there is no harm; after clarifying and filtering, observe carefully; when the water is turbid, one may use black fruits to clarify it. If the water has turbid dust, and one cannot see one's reflection in it; then one should diligently filter it, and there is no fault when it is clean. If one knows that well water or spring water is clean, or if containers such as dharma vases are sealed; the assembly or other people may freely use these five types of water. There are five types of filtering tools: bathing jugs, jun chi (water jar name), dharma vases, water filters, and folding the corner of a robe. With a clear mind, one should observe carefully; even if the insects are as small as fine hairs, one must observe carefully according to the teachings, without being lazy or perfunctory. The standard for observing water is like the turning of a cart pulled by six oxen; transporting water with bamboo to Magadha (Magadha, ancient Indian kingdom), this is the standard for observation. If one has doubts about the water container

有虫; 宜应更善观, 无疑方可用。 乃至俱卢舍, 或时一驿路; 彼处决知有, 无罗亦可行。 若即许还来, 半驿去无咎; 商旅有相识, 传罗随意去。 顺流河岸行, 一一俱卢舍, 善观应可饮, 异此即不应。 溯流随取处, 观滤并如常; 陂池水不流, 观于一寻内。 井等取水处, 说佛语伽陀; 随处有天神, 应从彼求乞。 将君持向口, 饮水佛不听; 叶等必其无, 屏处非遮限。 宜应将绢布, 叶系君持口, 及以盖瓶瓨, 异斯招恶作。 瓨等有垢腻, 用意净洗治; 随时可曝干, 为欲令清净。 俗人所作事, 求寂不应为; 求寂之所为, 苾刍有不合。 苾刍望于尼, 事有犯非犯; 皆须善观察, 准教可应行。 于池井等中, 见有饼菜等; 澄滤随情饮, 应知此名净。 俗人施水处, 准法好须观; 虽在非时中, 随情应饮用。 牧牛人等处, 苾刍少乏水; 酪浆及乳等, 洗足亦随情。 盛酒大小行, 此器宜应弃; 若盛油等物, 火炙水梳治。 或令鱼鳖舐, 垢腻尽皆无; 置水此器中, 非时用成净。 现代汉语译本: 有虫的水: 应该更加仔细地观察,确认没有虫子才能饮用。即使远至俱卢舍(Krosha,古代印度长度单位,约合一英里半或三公里),或者有时远至一个驿站的路程,也要确定那里是否有虫子,没有虫子才可以饮用。 如果允许返回,那么走半个驿站的路程去取水也没有问题。如果遇到认识的商旅,可以让他们传递滤水器,然后随意取水。 沿着顺流的河岸行走,每隔一个俱卢舍的距离,仔细观察,如果水质良好就可以饮用,否则就不应该饮用。 逆流而上时,可以随意取水,但要像往常一样观察并过滤。对于池塘等不流动的水,要在方圆一寻(古代长度单位,约合八尺)的范围内观察。 在井等取水的地方,应该念诵佛陀所说的偈陀(Gatha,诗颂)。因为任何地方都有天神,应该向他们祈求。 拿着滤水器直接对着嘴喝水,佛陀是不允许的。一定要确保没有树叶等杂物,在隐蔽的地方饮用,这并非是遮掩限制。 应该用绢布,或者用树叶系在滤水器的口上,以及用盖子盖住瓶子或水罐,否则会招致恶作剧。 如果水罐等容器有污垢,要用心清洗干净,随时可以放在阳光下曝晒,以保持清洁。 世俗之人所做的事情,追求寂静的出家人不应该做;而出家人所做的事情,有些也不适合比丘(Bhikshu,男性出家人)。 比丘对比丘尼(Bhikshuni,女性出家人)的态度,有些事情是允许的,有些事情是不允许的。所有这些都需要仔细观察,按照教义才能行事。 如果在池塘或井中,看到有饼或蔬菜等食物,过滤后可以随意饮用,应该知道这叫做清净。 世俗之人施舍水的地方,要按照佛法仔细观察,即使在不合适的时间,也可以随意饮用。 在牧牛人等地方,如果比丘缺少水,可以用酪浆或牛奶等来洗脚,也可以随意饮用。 盛过酒的大小容器,应该丢弃。如果盛过油等物品,可以用火烧烤,用水清洗梳理。 或者让鱼鳖舔舐,直到污垢完全清除。将水放在这样的容器中,在非规定的时间使用也算是清净的。

English version: Water with Insects: One should observe more carefully and only use it if there are no insects. Even as far as a Krosha (ancient Indian unit of distance, approximately 1.5 miles or 3 kilometers), or sometimes as far as a post station, one must determine if there are insects there; only if there are none can it be used. If returning is permitted, then going half a post station to fetch water is not a problem. If you encounter a merchant traveler you know, you can have them pass on the water filter, and then fetch water at will. Walking along the riverbank downstream, every Krosha, observe carefully; if the water quality is good, it can be drunk, otherwise it should not be. When going upstream, water can be taken at will, but observe and filter as usual. For stagnant water such as ponds, observe within a radius of one vyama (ancient unit of length, approximately 8 feet). At places where water is drawn, such as wells, one should recite the Gatha (verse) spoken by the Buddha. Because there are deities everywhere, one should pray to them. Holding the water filter directly to the mouth to drink water is not permitted by the Buddha. Be sure there are no leaves or other debris; drinking in a secluded place is not a restriction. One should use silk cloth, or tie leaves to the mouth of the water filter, and cover the bottle or jug with a lid; otherwise, one invites mischief. If containers such as jugs have dirt, wash them carefully and thoroughly; they can be dried in the sun at any time to keep them clean. Things done by laypeople should not be done by monks seeking solitude; and some things done by monks are not appropriate for Bhikshus (male monastic). The attitude of a Bhikshu towards a Bhikshuni (female monastic), some things are permitted, some things are not. All of these must be carefully observed, and one should act according to the teachings. If in a pond or well, one sees food such as cakes or vegetables, filter it and drink at will; this should be known as pure. At places where laypeople offer water, observe carefully according to the Dharma; even at inappropriate times, it can be drunk at will. In places such as where cattle herders are, if Bhikshus lack water, buttermilk or milk can be used to wash feet, and can also be drunk at will. Large and small containers that have held wine should be discarded. If they have held things such as oil, they can be burned with fire, and cleaned with water and a comb. Or let fish and turtles lick them until all the dirt is completely removed. Placing water in such a container, using it at non-prescribed times is considered pure.

English version When a woman asks for water, a bhiksu (Buddhist monk) should give it; one should not pour it continuously, and one should not generate a mind of foolishness and attachment. ◎ The precept regarding exceeding the limit when building a large monastery When building a large vihara (monastery), one should establish the foundation and install drainage facilities; one should install doors, door panels, and latches, and one can set up bright windows. If one wants to build walls, one should mix grass and mud to make mud; when building up to the level of the horizontal beams, do not exceed two or three layers. If one adds more on top of that, one will incur a downfall offense; building with bricks, stones, and wood, even if it is a lot, there is no offense. ◎ The precept regarding not appointing a bhiksunī (Buddhist nun) to teach without the assembly's approval One who is fully ordained, has the ability to retain what is heard, and is twenty years in seniority (varsa, years since ordination); one whose speech is skillful and complete, and has never had defiling conduct with nuns; one who is good at explaining the eight parajikas (asta-sthavira, eight major precepts for bhiksunīs), and is able to expound on the eight garudharmas (asta-garu-dharma, eight rules that bhiksunīs must follow); one who possesses the seven qualities to be appointed, and is not suitable if these conditions are not met. One who is good at understanding the sutras (sutra), the vinaya (vinaya), and the matrka (matrka, the matrix of treatises); only then is one suitable to teach bhiksunīs, and is able to subdue except for disputes. Besides these, there are others, the second is a brief teaching; if the assembly has instructions, the senior can convey them. Are the nuns pure? And are they harmonious? There are no bhiksus here who are teaching the bhiksunīs; sisters, the teachings of the muni (muni, sage), always need to be without negligence; do not let the precepts be lost, this is the cause of the three evil realms. Because you (bhiksunī) have twenty years of seniority, you are able to subdue the beings to be transformed; you are good at understanding the teachings of the vinaya, the king and the bhiksus should know. ◎ The precept regarding teaching until sunset Being appointed to teach, even if one can be complete in sila (sila, precepts); and understand things, one must return early, and it is not allowed to exceed the time of sunset. At sunset, one has the thought of sunset, or may have hesitation; still for the matter of teaching, obtaining a downfall offense is without doubt. Before sunset, one has the thought of sunset, before sunset, one has doubt; being hit by the arrow of evil-doing, one should receive great suffering. If the door of the nuns is not closed, or perhaps...
