t24n1461 vinaya twenty two clear treatise.g2.0f

English

English version: It should be returned to the original owner. If the original owner is not present or unwilling to accept it, it should be donated to the Sangha (community of monks). The king's clothes and the clothes of the king's ministers should be donated to the Sangha. All clothes and other items belonging to the Kushayaba (a Buddhist school) school's precepts should be donated to the Sangha. A bowl that has been kept for more than ten days has two uses; the five methods of repairing a bowl are as described in the Vinaya (monastic rules), and should be understood in order. Clothes obtained from the weaver's school should be donated to the Sangha. If a bhikkhu (monk) is offered many clothes, he should accept them if he wishes, wearing one and using one as a robe. If he accepts more than this, it constitutes a Nissaggiya (an offense requiring forfeiture), and should be returned to the owner. Ghee (clarified butter) and other items have two uses; if clothes have been given to a bhikkhu and then taken back in anger, they should be returned to the bhikkhu who was angered. If one diverts alms that should have gone to the Sangha for oneself, it should be returned to the Sangha. Summer bathing clothes, clothes for times of difficulty, and clothes left after the Vassa (rainy season retreat) have two uses. Thus, if one understands these meanings regarding Nissaggiya matters and the methods of rectification, one will be clear about the Vinaya. The verse says: 'Well able to discern the eight Garudhammas (weighty principles).' Explanation: There are eight Garudhammas: 1. A bhikkhuni (nun) must request Upasampada (higher ordination) from the Sangha of bhikkhus. 2. If a bhikkhuni has been ordained for a hundred years, and a bhikkhu is ordained on that day, the bhikkhuni must pay respects to the bhikkhu. 3. Every half-month, one should go to the Sangha of bhikkhus to receive instruction in the eight Garudhammas. 4. If a bhikkhuni violates any of the Garudhammas, she should perform the Manatta (period of probation) in both Sanghas (bhikkhu and bhikkhuni Sanghas). 5. A bhikkhuni must not revile or slander a bhikkhu. 6. A bhikkhuni must not question bhikkhus or teach bhikkhus. 7. If there are no bhikkhus in the dwelling place, bhikkhunis must not observe the Vassa. 8. When the bhikkhuni has completed the Vassa, she should request the Sangha of bhikkhus to speak on three grounds (sight, hearing, suspicion), and properly receive the Sangha's correct instruction. These eight Garudhammas, their individual characteristics, common characteristics, many names, meanings, etc., are explained in detail in the section on establishing the Garudhamma precepts, and should be understood. The verse says: 'Understanding the characteristics, order, and methods of correct teaching.' Explanation: In the teaching of bhikkhunis, if a bhikkhu possesses five qualities and his precepts correspond to nine qualities, the assembly harmoniously requests this bhikkhu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Perform Kamma (Kamma, action/deed) for Bhikkhunis (female monks). If a Bhikkhu (male monk) accepts an invitation, the Sangha (monastic community) should perform a Kamma of permission. Alternatively, if a Bhikkhuni Sangha or a substitute Bhikkhuni is observing Uposatha (Uposatha, day of observance), they should invite this Bhikkhu in the assembly. At this time, the Bhikkhu Sangha also invites this Bhikkhu, and this Bhikkhu is invited by both Sanghas. If this Bhikkhu wishes to teach the Dhamma (teachings) and observe Uposatha for the Bhikkhunis, he should be invited again in the assembly within the boundary. This Bhikkhu should proceed according to the order described in the Vinaya (monastic rules). If he says briefly: 'Sisters! You should learn the teachings in this way.' If, after accepting the Kamma, he does not teach the Bhikkhunis, he commits a Parajika (Parajika, defeat) and a Thullaccaya (Thullaccaya, grave offense). If he does not accept the Kamma, or if there is no such person, the great Bhikkhu Sangha should say to the Bhikkhunis: 'Bhikkhunis! There is no one who can teach you. Therefore, you should practice well according to the Vinaya and the Dharma (law), so that you may achieve accomplishment.' The verse says: Understand the methods in the four stages such as past dwelling. The explanation says: There are four kinds of stages: first, the stage of past dwelling; second, the stage of having practiced past dwelling; third, the stage of Manatta (Manatta, penance); fourth, the stage of having practiced Manatta. The verse says: And the five dependent Kamma. The explanation says: There are five kinds of dependent matters, and there are also five kinds of dependent Kamma. If a Bhikkhu is arrogant and does not respect other assemblies, a Kamma of fear is performed for this person. If a Bhikkhu does not understand what is a crime and what is not a crime in the Vinaya, what is cessation and what is not cessation in the Abhidhamma (Abhidhamma, higher teachings), or leaves dependence, or accepts the dependence of a Sramanera (Sramanera, novice), and performs the great precepts and dependence on learning, a Kamma of refinement is performed for those who understand. If a Bhikkhu commits evil and defiled acts in the Sangha's dwelling place, a Kamma of expulsion is performed. If a Bhikkhu scolds and slanders the Buddha (Buddha, enlightened one), the Dharma, and the Sangha in front of laypeople, a Kamma of stripping off and apologizing is performed. If a Bhikkhu does not see his own faults, or if he sees them but is unwilling to practice the remedies, or does not abandon wrong views, a Kamma of non-communion is performed. If someone understands these two methods, then he will be clear about the precepts. The verse says: Understand well to attain five kinds. The explanation says: Some things can be attained by the eyes but not by the body, and can be counted; some things can be attained by the body but not by the eyes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

入算数;有物眼身所至得入算数;有物非二所至得入算数;有物眼身所至得不入算数。若人不许受,是名五种至得。   偈曰:解过毗尼有五门。   释曰:过律学处罪有五门:一不明了、二烦恼最重起、三忌失正念、四恶知识、五无信乐心。   偈曰:依入及界所生罪,解如世间所决判。   释曰:世间所立、法尔道理,入及界,有属自、有属他,有轻有重。若比丘约眼耳鼻舌身心因缘,于六尘起不如行,或犯重罪、或犯轻罪,若人食毒、或为蛇所螫。犯如此罪,若人偷地界水界火界风界空界等,亦犯波罗夷。此悉从盗戒判。若人善解从入界所生罪,则于律明了。   偈曰:解八种拔迦絺那。   释曰:律中说拔除迦絺那衣羯磨,有八种:一竟边、二成就边、三出离边、四失边、五间边、六过住边、七断望边、八共拔除边。拔除迦絺那有如此八种。   偈曰:及迦絺那五功德。   释曰:受迦絺那人有五种功德:一杂乱衣、二不离三衣、三一着一披得入聚落、四不白比丘得入聚落、五不观因缘得共众食。   偈曰:善解二守。   释曰:若人已受迦絺那,出界外,或不得衣,由有二种守迦絺那功德流:一由衣守、二由住处守。   偈曰:不得戒二十人。   释曰 现代汉语译本 入算数:有些事物通过眼睛和身体的接触可以被计算在内;有些事物不通过二者的接触也可以被计算在内;有些事物通过眼睛和身体的接触不能被计算在内。如果人们不允许接受,这被称为五种至得。 偈曰:解决过失的毗尼(Vinaya,戒律)有五种途径。 释曰:关于违犯戒律学处的罪过,有五种途径:一是不够明了,二是烦恼极其严重,三是忘记或失去正念,四是受到恶知识的影响,五是没有信心和喜乐心。 偈曰:依据根、入和界所产生的罪过,按照世间的判决来解决。 释曰:世间所建立的、法尔如是的道理,根、入和界,有些属于自身,有些属于他人,有些轻微,有些严重。如果比丘因为眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、心的因缘,对六尘产生不如法的行为,或者犯下重罪,或者犯下轻罪,就像人吃了毒药,或者被蛇咬伤一样。犯下这样的罪过,就像人偷盗地界、水界、火界、风界、空界等,也犯了波罗夷(Pārājika,断头罪)。这些都从盗戒来判断。如果人能够很好地理解从根、入、界所产生的罪过,那么对于戒律就会很明了。 偈曰:理解八种拔迦絺那(uddhāra-kathina,解除功德衣)的方法。 释曰:戒律中说拔除迦絺那衣羯磨(kathina-civara-kamma,功德衣羯磨)有八种情况:一是到达边界,二是成就边界,三是出离边界,四是失去,五是间隔,六是过度居住,七是断绝希望,八是共同拔除。拔除迦絺那有这八种情况。 偈曰:以及迦絺那(kathina,功德衣)的五种功德。 释曰:接受迦絺那的人有五种功德:一是得到杂乱的衣服,二是不必与三衣分离,三是可以穿着一件内衣和一件外衣进入村落,四是不需要告知比丘就可以进入村落,五是不观察因缘就可以和大众一起吃饭。 偈曰:善于理解两种守护。 释曰:如果有人已经接受了迦絺那,出了边界外,或者没有得到衣服,由于有两种守护迦絺那功德的途径:一是通过衣服守护,二是通过住所守护。 偈曰:不得戒的二十种人。 释曰

English version Entering into calculation: Some things can be included in the calculation through the contact of the eye and body; some things can be included in the calculation without the contact of the two; some things cannot be included in the calculation through the contact of the eye and body. If people do not allow acceptance, this is called the five kinds of attainment. Verse: There are five ways to resolve transgressions of the Vinaya (discipline). Explanation: Regarding the transgressions of the disciplinary precepts, there are five ways: 1. Lack of clarity; 2. Arising from extremely heavy afflictions; 3. Forgetting or losing mindfulness; 4. Being influenced by bad companions; 5. Lacking faith and joy. Verse: Sins arising from the bases, entrances, and realms should be resolved according to worldly judgments. Explanation: The principles established in the world, the natural order of things, the bases, entrances, and realms, some belong to oneself, some belong to others, some are light, and some are heavy. If a Bhikkhu, due to the conditions of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, engages in improper conduct towards the six objects of sense, either committing a serious offense or a minor offense, it is like a person eating poison or being bitten by a snake. Committing such offenses, like a person stealing the earth element, water element, fire element, wind element, space element, etc., also constitutes a Pārājika (defeat). These are all judged according to the precept against stealing. If a person can well understand the sins arising from the bases, entrances, and realms, then they will be clear about the discipline. Verse: Understand the eight ways of removing the Kathina (uddhāra-kathina, removal of the Kathina cloth). Explanation: The Vinaya states that there are eight situations for removing the Kathina-civara-kamma (Kathina cloth ceremony): 1. Reaching the boundary; 2. Accomplishing the boundary; 3. Departing from the boundary; 4. Loss; 5. Interruption; 6. Overstaying; 7. Severing hope; 8. Joint removal. There are these eight ways to remove the Kathina. Verse: And the five merits of the Kathina (Kathina cloth). Explanation: A person who has received the Kathina has five merits: 1. Obtaining miscellaneous robes; 2. Not having to be separated from the three robes; 3. Being able to enter villages wearing one undergarment and one outer garment; 4. Being able to enter villages without informing the Bhikkhus; 5. Being able to eat with the assembly without observing the conditions. Verse: Skillfully understand the two protections. Explanation: If someone has received the Kathina and goes outside the boundary, or does not obtain robes, there are two ways to protect the merits of the Kathina: 1. Protection through the robe; 2. Protection through the dwelling place. Verse: Twenty types of people who cannot receive ordination. Explanation: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
