English version: If one does not return to the dwelling place for more than seven days and nights, the Bhiksu (monk) loses the summer retreat practice. One should diligently provide for the basic necessities such as robes, alms bowls, and even needle and felt, so that those who have not understood may understand, those who have not obtained may obtain, and those who have not realized may realize. This is called observing the summer retreat. Among the Sangha (community) observing the retreat, the most senior monk should inquire about the location of the boundary markers of the great boundary, and again inquire about the location of lost or unlost robes, and again should inquire about the pure place, inquire about the place for Uposatha (observance day), recite the precepts, teach the Dharma, appoint a Dharma speaker to chant blessings, appoint a person to manage affairs, console the person managing affairs, appoint a person to distribute tokens, and appoint a Sangha cleaner. If the Bhiksus leave the boundary for seven days, fifteen days, or even a month, they need to perform Bái èr jiémó (formal acts of the Sangha). When instructing young Bhiksus, one should personally teach and encourage others to teach. These are all the duties of the most senior monk during the summer retreat. One should also inspect the rooms and check the bedding to see who is using it properly and who is not. For those who use it properly, one should instruct, benefit, delight, and praise their conduct. For those who do not use it properly, one should advise them to remember, saying: 'Elder! You should use it properly, as there are five faults in not using it properly. The Tathagata (Buddha) has established precepts, and you should remember this matter.' 'The duties of the most senior monk during the summer retreat. If it is time for the midday meal, time for eating porridge, or time for drinking sweet drinks, the most senior monk in the Sangha should announce: 'So much time has passed, and so much time remains.' If the most senior monk in the Sangha can do these things, then he is the parent of the Sangha and also the teacher of the Sangha. This is the duty of the most senior monk during the summer retreat.' 'A Bhiksu observing the summer retreat can do one thing during Pravāraṇa (invitation): that is, to speak of seen, heard, and suspected offenses during Pravāraṇa. After Pravāraṇa, one can do four things: first, dissolve the great boundary; second, re-establish the great boundary. There are two reasons for dissolving the boundary: one is that the boundary markers are destroyed by a great flood and the location is unknown; the other is that due to banditry, all the Bhiksus have left the boundary. Because of these two reasons, it is necessary to dissolve and re-establish the boundary. Third, receive the Kathina (cloth for robes); fourth, receive bedding after the summer retreat. These are the reasons after Pravāraṇa.' 'There are four assemblies of the Sangha: Bhiksu-samgha (monks), Bhiksuni-samgha (nuns), Upasaka (male lay followers), Up --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The assembly of the Bhayas. Furthermore, there are four types of Sangha (monastic community): 1. the Sangha of ordinary people (those composed of ordinary individuals), 2. the Sangha of noble ones (those composed of enlightened beings), 3. the Sangha of the ashamed (those who have a sense of shame), and 4. the Sangha of the shameless (those who have no sense of shame). A Bhikshu (monk) Sangha cannot be formed by one, two, or three individuals; it requires four individuals to form a Sangha, up to twenty individuals. A Sangha of four can perform the Karma (ritual) of 'white, one announcement, white, two announcements,' but cannot perform Pravarana (invitation), Upasampada (ordination), or Apukkhana (banishment). Except for these three, all other Dharma (teachings) matters can be performed. A Sangha of five can perform Pravarana and Uposatha (observance day). In border regions, a Vinaya master (expert in monastic rules) can grant Upasampada, but not in central China. Neither central China nor border regions can perform Apukkhana. A Sangha of twenty can perform all Dharma matters. A Sangha of ten can perform all Dharma matters except for Apukkhana. If a Dharma matter is performed by four individuals and one is missing, the Dharma matter is not valid and is called an unlawful performance of a Dharma matter. If a Dharma matter is performed in a place where five individuals are required and one is missing, the Dharma matter is not valid and is called an unlawful performance of a Dharma matter. If a Dharma matter is performed in a place where ten individuals are required and one is missing, the Dharma matter is not valid and is called an unlawful performance of a Dharma matter. If a Dharma matter is performed in a place where twenty individuals are required and one is missing, the Dharma matter is not valid and is called an unlawful performance of a Dharma matter. This is called Sangha business. 'Entering the Dharma of the Sangha, from composing one's appearance to generating good intentions towards others, as described in the previous text. The method of focusing the mind when entering the Sangha is like sweeping the floor with a broom, not seeing right or wrong, and universally generating compassion. One should enter the Sangha with such a mind. This is called entering the Dharma of the Sangha.' 'The method of sitting in the Sangha. When entering the Sangha, one should respect the senior monks, know one's own seating place, and not be indulgent in taking up too much space. If one sees an unlawful matter being performed in the Sangha and wishes to advise against it, but fears that the Sangha will not accept their opinion, one can remember the matter and sit silently. If a Bhikshu enters the Sangha, they should consider whether the Dharma matter being performed by the Sangha is lawful or unlawful, and whether it is in accordance with the Vinaya (monastic discipline). If it is in accordance, that is good. If it is not in accordance, those who are of the same mind and practice the Vinaya lawfully can advise together. If there is no one, one should sit silently. This is called matters within the Sangha.' 'If the Sangha gathers, the senior monk in the assembly should observe the middle and lower seats to see if their demeanor, sitting, and rising are in accordance with the Dharma.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
