English version Fourth, if a Upasika (female lay devotee) wants a bhikkhu (monk) to recite a spell for sesame oil, and a man brings a tooth-cleaning twig (Yangzhi) to the bhikkhu, the bhikkhu should not recite the spell if the man holding the twig is a good person. Fifth, if a Upasaka (male lay devotee) and a Upasika come together to ask about the Dharma, and the Upasaka leaves first, the bhikkhu should also leave, otherwise it is not in accordance with the Dharma. A newly arrived bhikkhu has ten rules to follow: First, after paying respects to the Buddha, he should step aside and ask the name of the abbot (摩摩德, Mo Mo De), the number of bhikkhus in the monastery, and the scriptures they recite daily. Second, he should pay respects to senior bhikkhus and greet junior bhikkhus. Third, he should not inquire about where others live. Fourth, when others give the bhikkhu beds, mats, or other items, he should not be picky about whether they are good or bad. Fifth, he should seek an Acariya (阿阇梨, teacher) to rely on. Sixth, he should make offerings to the Acariya. Seventh, he should not criticize the scriptures. Eighth, he should not enter or leave freely. Ninth, if he wants to clean the pagoda, he should report to the monastery manager (摩波梨, Mo Bo Li). Tenth, when leaving, if he has bedding stored in the monastery, he should leave it with the owner. There are also five things to be mindful of: First, he should be concerned about the affairs of the community; second, he should not use the monastery's clean water carelessly; third, he should not visit people's homes casually; fourth, he should not walk against the flow of traffic; fifth, he should not step over sticks or other objects in the monastery. One should treat a newly arrived bhikkhu with ten considerations: First, one should give up a room for him to live in. Second, one should provide him with what he needs. Third, one should visit him morning and evening to inquire about his well-being. Fourth, one should tell him about local customs. Fifth, one should teach him what to avoid saying. Sixth, one should tell him where to beg for food. Seventh, one should tell him the rules of the Sangha. Eighth, one should tell him what is edible. Ninth, one should tell him the taboos of the local government. Tenth, one should tell him about thieves, which situations allow escape and which do not. When a newly arrived bhikkhu wants to go to a virtuous person to take refuge and request to be his Acariya, he should first explain himself: 'I have now left three teachers for a certain reason, each separated by a certain distance. Now I have come here alone, with the intention of studying the Dharma, but I have encountered national unrest, so I have come here. Now I take refuge in the virtuous one, hoping that you can be my Acariya. Because of my refuge, may the virtuous one accept me, so-and-so, as a disciple, and live with me, so-and-so, as a disciple, and rely on me, so-and-so, to live together, as my disciple. The virtuous one should, for the sake of the Dharma,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

当为某甲作阿阇梨师。”已头面作礼,因言:“阿阇梨!为用三尊故,已受某甲为师作,当教某甲所行出入法。若有强共某诤某,阿阇梨当有某甲作弟子。若阿阇梨若某欲去止,俱得自在。设某去后,复从彼面来还,阿阇梨故当受某为弟子。”如是说至三。师当言报:“贤者某听今我所说,令卿得道,常当行如佛语,当护戒、当忍辱、当精进、当一心念道、当念慧、当止身口意灭毒、当为三法事。已作佛弟子,不得念行世间事。能如法行者,会当得道度世耳。”说竟。起作礼,持头面着师足去,还取衣钵往上师从受衣。若比丘受衣钵三衣,阿阇梨比丘当自说亡失,若水火盗贼坏败因缘。比丘先自归言:“明贤者!慧行净戒是某三师。”为某如是便三说本因缘已,三说便上若钵若衣受阿阇梨,便说教诫:“某贤者听!人有六情,当护当念清净。虽世间净洁,不能到清净,行慧者道当护内外清净,不垢不漏内外相应,是为能致清净道者,是故当依当摄当护。是为钵事依者,当言数持视数着以时浣。比丘譬如贤者,亦世间处身,乐沐浴薰香衣服卧具,宁欲令身不安隐、意不安隐。所有可意有破服。不设具坚安隐。亦不能致清净慧者道中。若漏湿为虫所食腐,譬身若一处腐烂,从是不安隐、不致慧者道。譬身若一处为虫所食疮 现代汉语译本:当[某甲](某人的名字)的阿阇梨(梵语,意为导师)。’[某甲](某人的名字)已经头面作礼,因此说:‘阿阇梨(梵语,意为导师)!因为尊敬三宝的缘故,已经接受[某甲](某人的名字)为弟子,请您教导我日常的修行规范。如果有人欺负我,阿阇梨(梵语,意为导师)应当把我当作您的弟子来维护。如果阿阇梨(梵语,意为导师)或者我想离开,都可以自由决定。即使我离开后,又从其他地方回来,阿阇梨(梵语,意为导师)仍然应当接受我为弟子。’这样说了三次。导师应当回答说:‘贤者[某](某人的名字)听着,现在我所说的话,是为了让你能够得道,要常常按照佛陀的教导去修行,要守护戒律、要忍辱、要精进、要一心念道、要修习智慧、要止息身口意的恶行、要为三宝服务。既然已经做了佛的弟子,就不能再想着去做世俗的事情。能够这样如法修行的人,终将会得道,脱离轮回的苦海。’说完,[某甲](某人的名字)起身作礼,以头面触碰导师的脚,然后离开,回去取自己的衣钵,去上师那里接受袈裟。如果比丘(梵语,佛教出家男众)接受衣钵和三衣,阿阇梨(梵语,意为导师)比丘(梵语,佛教出家男众)应当亲自说明这些物品的遗失情况,或者是因为水灾、火灾、盗贼而损坏的原因。比丘(梵语,佛教出家男众)首先自己说:‘明智的贤者!具有慧行和清净戒律的人是我的三位导师。’像这样为[某](某人的名字)说了三次本来的因缘之后,三次奉上钵或者袈裟,从阿阇梨(梵语,意为导师)那里接受,然后说教诫:‘[某](某人的名字)贤者听着!人有六根,应当守护,应当常常保持清净。即使世间的清洁,也不能达到真正的清净,修行智慧的人应当守护内外清净,不被污染,不漏失,内外相应,这样才能达到清净的道路,所以应当依靠、应当摄持、应当守护。关于钵的使用,应当经常拿出来看看,经常擦拭,按时清洗。比丘(梵语,佛教出家男众)就像贤者一样,也生活在世间,喜欢沐浴、熏香、衣服和卧具,难道想要让身体不安稳、意念不安稳吗?所有喜欢的东西都有可能破损。如果不设置坚固的保护措施,也不能达到清净智慧的道路。如果漏水潮湿,被虫子咬食腐烂,就像身体的某个地方腐烂一样,从此就会不安稳,不能达到智慧者的道路。就像身体的某个地方被虫子咬食生疮一样。
