English

English version: ‘When holding the bowl, do not place it on someone's table; fifth, do not receive the bowl from behind someone, but should receive it properly from the front, and do not walk among the crowd. After seeing the teacher has finished eating, one should rise, take the bowl back, and sit down. This is the method of holding the bowl.’ ‘When being sent by the teacher to thank someone, there are seven things to pay attention to: first, one should go directly; second, one should return directly; third, one should remember what the teacher said, and also remember the other person's reply; fourth, one should not arbitrarily add or subtract content; fifth, if the other person does not request it, one should not stay overnight; sixth, one should not joke or make noise; seventh, going out should have rules.’ ‘When a Śrāmaṇera (沙弥, meaning 'male novice') is serving a Bhikṣu (比丘僧, meaning 'Buddhist monk') and has not finished, he should not arbitrarily enter the residence of a great Śrāmaṇa (沙门, meaning 'ascetic'). There are three situations in which one may enter: first, if the Upādhyāya (和上, meaning 'preceptor') or Ācārya (阿阇梨, meaning 'teacher') temporarily sends him; second, if he is asked to fetch something; third, if he wants to ask about the meaning of the scriptures, then he may enter.’ ‘When wanting to enter a residence, there are seven things to pay attention to: first, one should snap one's fingers three times before entering; second, one should not sit or lie in the path of people, or block the firelight; third, one should not arbitrarily talk about other matters; fourth, one should put one's palms together and speak according to the Dharma; fifth, if one is told to sit, one should not cross one's legs; sixth, one should not joke or make noise; seventh, one should not obstruct others from going first. When wanting to leave, one should face the door and go out, turn around to face the door, and walk backwards out, and should not turn one's back to leave.’ ‘When sending a Śrāmaṇera on a long journey alone, one should teach him some things, there are three things: first, if the other person asks what your Upādhyāya's name is, then answer that his style name is so-and-so. Second, if they ask again how many years your Upādhyāya has been a Śrāmaṇa, then answer so many years. Third, if they ask again where your Upādhyāya is from, then answer from such-and-such county. If they ask again what your Ācārya's name is, then answer that his style name is so-and-so. If they ask again how old your Ācārya is, then answer so many years. If they ask again where your Ācārya is from, then answer from such-and-such country and county. If they ask again what the worthy one's name and style name are, then answer that his style name is so-and-so. If they ask again how long you have been a Śrāmaṇera, then answer so many years, so many months, so many days, so many hours. This is to know the Upādhyāya, the Ācārya, and also to know one's own time, name, age, years, months, and days.’ ‘When entering the bathroom, there are five things to pay attention to...’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
