English version: The Sangha should gather every half-month to perform 'Manatva' (penance). Bhikkhunis should request instruction from the Sangha every half-month. The two Sanghas should bathe every half-month. Every half-month, they should hold 'Posadha' (recitation of precepts). If a Bhikkhu has a reason to leave the boundary during the summer retreat, those who go far should receive the fifteen-day rule, for the sake of maintaining pure precepts, this is called the half-month corresponding rule. The 'one-month corresponding rule' refers to if a Bhikkhu is missing one of his three robes, after obtaining the resources to acquire a robe, he must complete the cutting, dyeing, and sewing within one month and receive it. If it exceeds one month, it is a 'Nissaggiya Pacittiya' (offense requiring forfeiture and confession). One should not sleep away from one's robes for a month after 'Pavarana' (the end of the rains retreat ceremony). In the remaining month of spring, one should seek a bathing robe, the dimensions of which are six cubits long and two and a half cubits wide. For matters done during the summer retreat, after seven or fifteen days, one should seek a month to receive the merit of the 'Kathina' (robe of merit), which should be received on the sixteenth day of the seventh month. If affairs are too busy to complete it in time, it can be received until the fifteenth day of the eighth month, but not after that. This is called the one-month corresponding rule. The 'two-month corresponding rule' refers to not cutting hair, which can be done at the latest after two months, but not exceeding that. This is called the two-month corresponding rule. The 'three-month corresponding rule' refers to, after the three-month summer retreat, one should spend one night outside, this is called the three-month corresponding rule. The 'four-month corresponding rule' refers to using rain bathing robes during the four months of summer. If a 'Danapati' (donor) donates medicine for four months for the Sangha to use, the Sangha should accept and use it, but not for more than four months. If non-Buddhists come to the Sangha seeking ordination, they should be allowed to live separately for four months to observe their behavior, to see if they are not coming to find fault with the Sangha? Are they sincerely seeking ordination? Is their mind harmonious? After understanding their behavior, then shave their heads and ordain them. There is also a four-month corresponding rule, four months are winter, four months are spring, and four months are summer, this is called the four-month corresponding rule. The 'five-month corresponding rule' refers to, five months after 'Pavarana' (the end of the rains retreat ceremony), relinquishing the 'Kathina' (robe of merit), this is called the five-month corresponding rule. The 'twelve-month corresponding rule' refers to, after receiving the full ordination of a 'Mahamarga' (newly ordained), within twelve months, teaching all the things that a 'Mahamarga' (newly ordained) should do, and then one can give full ordination to others, and it cannot be given before twelve months. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Furthermore, after a Shramanera (novice monk) has received the great precepts, he may then receive another Shramanera. After a Shramanerika (novice nun) has received the precepts, she must study the Shikshamana (probationary nun) precepts for two years, during which time she may not ordain a Shramanerika. After a Shikshamana has received the full precepts, she may then ordain a Shramanerika. A Bhikshuni (fully ordained nun) is also like a Bhikshu (fully ordained monk); after teaching them the precepts they should learn for twelve months, if there are still Shikshamanas who wish to receive the full precepts, they may be allowed to receive the full precepts. This is called the 'Twelve-Month Corresponding Dharma'. The dependence practice also ends after twelve months, after which one may accept dependence from others, but one may not accept dependence from two people at the same time. The 'One-Year Corresponding Dharma' is the same as the twelve-month corresponding Dharma mentioned above. The 'Two-Year Corresponding Dharma' refers to the following: if an eighteen-year-old virgin is ordained as a Shramanerika, she may immediately receive the Shikshamana precepts and study the precepts for two years. If a woman is already married at the age of ten, and she is ordained to leave home and receive the Shramanera precepts, after two years she may be given the Shikshamana precepts. After another two years, she may receive the full precepts. This is called the 'Two-Year Corresponding Dharma'. The 'Three-Year Corresponding Dharma' refers to the fact that a Bhikshu with one Varsha (year since ordination) may sit on the same bed as a Bhikshu with five Varshas, but those within three years should be distinguished. This is called the 'Three-Year Corresponding Dharma'. The 'Five-Year Corresponding Dharma' refers to the fact that after a Bhikshu has completed five Varshas, he must be proficient in reciting the precepts, and he must be proficient in reciting the three Karmas (procedures for monastic affairs): Baiyi (single motion), Baier (double motion), and Baisi (four motions). A Bhikshu who has not completed five Varshas may not leave dependence. The five types of losing dependence are as described above. This is called the 'Five-Year Corresponding Dharma'. The 'Six-Year Corresponding Dharma' refers to the fact that a Nishidana (sitting cloth) should be discarded after six years. If it is broken or has not reached six years, it should be given to others. If one is wearing a Kasaya (monk's robe), one may keep it oneself, and if it is not broken, one may also keep it oneself. If the room already exists, and the four walls are not covered, the Sangha (monastic community) should assign someone to cover them. After living in it for six years, it should be returned to the Sangha and not kept beyond that time. This is called the 'Six-Year Corresponding Dharma'. The 'Ten-Year Corresponding Dharma' refers to the fact that after a Bhikshu has completed ten Varshas, he may act as an Upadhyaya (preceptor) for others, give the full precepts, accept dependence from others, and accept Shramanas. If a ten-year-old woman has a husband, after receiving the ten Shramanera precepts for two years, she may receive the Shikshamana precepts. This is called the 'Ten-Year Corresponding Dharma'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 岁相应法。
