English version She does not acquire possessions for herself, nor does she teach others to do so. She constantly cultivates herself, follows the right Dharma, does not engage in evil deeds, wholeheartedly takes refuge in the Buddha, recites scriptures, and practices righteousness as the joy of the Dharma, not seeking worldly pleasures. When listening to scriptures, she deeply contemplates their profound meanings. She does not become ill herself and does not ride in carriages, on horses, or elephants. She should contemplate lightness and flight, attaining the eight inconceivable spiritual powers (eight kinds of inconceivable spiritual powers), using them as vehicles to cross over the eight difficulties (eight kinds of suffering). This is the Śrāmaṇerī precepts (female novice precepts). Śrāmaṇerī precepts: She must not accumulate treasures. She must not take them with her own hands, nor instruct others to do so. She should always be diligent and focused, taking the Path as her treasure, the scriptures as supreme, the meaning as subtle, and understanding emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness as the foundation. Reaching the three liberations (three kinds of liberation), she does not seek greed and desire. Desiring to be free from the nine vexations (nine kinds of vexations), she dwells in the Path for a very long time, without end or limit, without boundaries, and without dwelling anywhere. This is the Śrāmaṇerī precepts. Śrāmaṇerī precepts: Eating must be at the proper time. She should always eat at the proper time and not exceed the limit. After midday, she must not eat again, even if there is extremely delicious food, she will never eat it again. She also does not instruct others to violate this, nor does she even think about it in her mind. Even if the most supreme natural food comes, she must not eat it. If an elder or a king does not eat after midday, they would rather die than violate this. She constantly contemplates meditation, and even if she eats some food, it is only to sustain her life. She wants to enable all beings to understand deeply, attain their wishes, and obtain the ten powers (ten powers of the Buddha) as food. This is the Śrāmaṇerī precepts. The Śrāmaṇerī has already received the ten precepts, explores the true path, and her mind is pure. If she can practice these ten things, the five hundred precepts will naturally be complete. For example, if a person's head, hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, body, mind, abdomen, and back are not damaged, and all the faculties are complete, and the intestines, stomach, lungs, liver, five viscera, joints, tendons, and veins are all complete. For example, if the roots of a tree are secure and complete, not withered or decayed, the stems, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits will naturally flourish. The Śrāmaṇerī is like this; if she can possess the foundation of the ten precepts, then the five hundred precepts will all be fulfilled, and she can attain spiritual powers and be able to reach everything. For example, in good fields, the seeds are not rotten, the wind and rain are timely, the five grains are abundant, and the people are well governed. The Śrāmaṇerī is like this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

是能尊十戒，五百戒则为举矣。譬如国君风化普平，万民安宁。沙弥尼如是，若能具十戒者，五百之戒自然普备，若父母慈和，子孙、眷属、奴客、婢使自然率从。 又沙弥尼常尊三宝，敬师和上，过于父母百千万倍。父母一世，和上度无极无限。念报反复，不造反逆。常厌秽身，如人闭狱，堕坠溷厕。不贪女身，不烧色欲。如于大火，譬若处贼。心念一切，如父、如母、如子、如身。常惭本行怀态不快，乃获斯身。当解本无，犹如幻化，无男无女从行得之，本无五道，况男女乎？求大乘者，了一切空如幻、化、梦、影、响、野马、芭蕉、深山之响，缘对而生，本无所有。信色如影，痛痒如芭蕉，思想如野马，生死如泡，识如幻，非我。因缘合成，无缘则无，独来独去，无一随者。 欲为道者。权慧为父母；乐法为兄弟；不离深义以为和上；慈、悲、喜、护、谛住正法以为男女；六度无极以为伴党；神通之慧以为车乘；不违经戒，思惟空义以为屋宅。 又沙弥尼不得独行。同类为伴，二人若三人。若无沙弥尼，当与清信女俱行。若婢使不得与大沙弥、男子同床座坐。不妄语。又不得比寺居止。自不疾病，不得数往反。檀越请读经乃说。不得自用等辈相教，随年恭顺，不得慢恣。转相导说，若有过失 现代汉语译本：如果能够尊重沙弥尼的十戒，那么五百条戒律也就等于全部遵守了。这就好比国君的教化普及而太平，万民都安居乐业。沙弥尼也是这样，如果能够具足十戒，那么五百条戒律自然就全部具备了。如果父母慈爱和睦，那么子孙、眷属、奴仆、婢女自然都会遵从。 此外，沙弥尼要经常尊敬三宝（佛、法、僧），敬重师父和和尚，要超过对父母的百千万倍。父母只能护佑一生，而和尚的教导却能使人脱离无边无际的苦海。要常常想着报答他们的恩德，不要做出违背叛逆的事情。要经常厌恶这个污秽的身体，就像人被关在监狱里，或者堕落到粪坑厕所里一样。不要贪恋女人的身体，不要焚烧**。要像面对大火一样，如同身处贼窝。心里要想着一切众生，如同对待父亲、母亲、儿子、自身一样。要经常为自己过去的行为感到惭愧，因为过去的行为不好，才获得了这个身体。应当明白身体的本质是空无，就像幻化出来的一样，没有男人也没有女人，只是随着行为而产生。本来就没有五道轮回，更何况男女之分呢？追求大乘佛法的人，要明白一切都是空性的，如同幻影、变化、梦境、影子、回响、阳焰、芭蕉、深山的回声一样，都是因缘和合而生，本来就什么都没有。要相信色相如同影子，痛痒如同芭蕉，思想如同阳焰，生死如同水泡，意识如同幻觉，都不是真实的我。都是因缘聚合而成，没有因缘就没有，独自而来，独自而去，没有一样东西可以跟随。 想要修道的人，权巧的智慧就是父母；喜爱佛法就是兄弟；不离开甚深的佛法真义就是和尚；慈悲喜舍四无量心、安住于正法就是子女；六度波罗蜜（布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧）就是同伴；神通的智慧就是车乘；不违背经书戒律，思维空性的道理就是房屋。 此外，沙弥尼不得独自出行。应当与同类的沙弥尼结伴，两人或者三人一起。如果没有沙弥尼，应当与清信女一起出行。婢女不得与大沙弥、男子同床而坐。不打妄语。也不得在比丘寺院居住。自己没有疾病，不得频繁往返。如果有檀越邀请读经，才可以去说法。不得自作主张，同辈之间互相教导，要按照年龄大小恭敬顺从，不得傲慢放纵。要互相引导劝说，如果有了过失

English version: If one can respect the ten precepts of a Śrāmaṇerī (female novice), then observing the five hundred precepts is equivalent to observing all of them. It is like a king whose teachings are widespread and bring peace, and all the people live in peace and contentment. The Śrāmaṇerī is the same; if she can fully observe the ten precepts, then the five hundred precepts are naturally fully observed. If parents are kind and harmonious, then their children, relatives, servants, and maids will naturally follow their example. Furthermore, the Śrāmaṇerī should always respect the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), and revere her teacher and preceptor more than she reveres her parents by a hundred thousand times. Parents can only protect one for a lifetime, while the teachings of the preceptor can liberate one from limitless suffering. One should always think of repaying their kindness and not commit rebellious acts. One should always detest this impure body, as if one were imprisoned or had fallen into a latrine. Do not be greedy for the female body, do not burn **. One should regard it as facing a great fire, as if one were in a den of thieves. In one's mind, one should regard all beings as one's father, mother, son, or oneself. One should always be ashamed of one's past actions, for it is because of those unfavorable actions that one has obtained this body. One should understand that the essence of the body is emptiness, like an illusion; there is neither male nor female, it arises according to one's actions. Originally, there are no five realms of existence, let alone male or female. Those who seek the Mahayana (Great Vehicle) should understand that everything is empty, like illusions, transformations, dreams, shadows, echoes, mirages, banana trees, and echoes in deep mountains; they arise from the combination of causes and conditions, and originally have nothing of their own. Believe that form is like a shadow, pain is like a banana tree, thoughts are like a mirage, birth and death are like bubbles, and consciousness is like an illusion; they are not 'I'. They are formed by the combination of causes and conditions; without causes and conditions, they cease to exist. One comes alone and goes alone, with nothing to accompany one. Those who wish to cultivate the Way, skillful wisdom is their parents; the joy of the Dharma is their siblings; not departing from the profound meaning is their preceptor; loving-kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity, and abiding in the correct Dharma are their children; the six pāramitās (perfections of giving, morality, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom) are their companions; the wisdom of supernatural powers is their vehicle; not violating the sutras and precepts, and contemplating the meaning of emptiness is their dwelling. Furthermore, a Śrāmaṇerī should not travel alone. She should travel with companions of the same kind, two or three together. If there are no Śrāmaṇerīs, she should travel with a laywoman of pure faith. Female servants should not sit on the same bed or seat with senior Śrāmaṇeras or men. Do not lie. Also, do not reside in a monastery of monks. If one is not ill, one should not frequently go back and forth. Only when a donor invites one to recite scriptures may one speak. Do not act on one's own authority; those of the same rank should teach each other, and one should be respectful and obedient according to age, and not be arrogant or indulgent. They should guide and advise each other, and if there are faults --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，屏处相谏，莫于众中说。闻善见善乃可宣扬，闻恶见恶不得传说，唯可白和上，不得语余人。常自克责，见善思及，见恶自察，悲哀彼人意不及故。 若作沙弥尼求和上者，当得好聪明智慧奉顺法者，世世能度人。譬若有船完具牢坚，在所能度至于彼岸。若师不聪明，行不应法，非是大师。持作和上，譬如坏船，乘欲度海中路而没，既溺众人，师亦并命，无有遗余。其初持法授人经戒，正则为师。闻大师欲以为和上，本作沙弥尼，不得彼者，遥称名、礼之以为师，未必面见，心近则近，心远则远，身虽相近，心乖不同，相去亿里。沙弥尼行路，不得与男子共行同道相随，不得与男子、沙门比房同寺。各各别异法之大节焉。 沙弥尼戒经一卷 现代汉语译本： 私下劝谏，不要在众人面前说。听到或看到善行，才可以宣扬；听到或看到恶行，不得传播，只能禀告和尚（Upadhyaya，亲教师），不得告诉其他人。常常自我反省，见到善行就思考学习，见到恶行就自我检查，为那些不明事理的人感到悲哀。 如果想找和尚（Upadhyaya，亲教师）的沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerikā，沙弥女），应当找聪明智慧、奉行佛法的人，这样生生世世都能度化他人。好比有一艘完整坚固的船，能够载人到达彼岸。如果老师不聪明，行为不符合佛法，就不是好的大师。让这样的人做和尚（Upadhyaya，亲教师），就像一艘破船，想要渡海却在中途沉没，不仅淹死了众人，老师也一同丧命，没有幸存者。最初传授佛法和戒律的人，才是真正的老师。听说大师想要成为自己的和尚（Upadhyaya，亲教师），但原本的沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerikā，沙弥女）无法得到他的教导，就遥远地称念他的名字、礼拜他作为老师。不一定要见面，心近则近，心远则远，即使身体相近，如果心意相悖，也如同相隔亿里。沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerikā，沙弥女）行走时，不得与男子同行，不得与男子、沙门（Śrāmaṇa，出家男子）同住一间房或同一座寺庙。这些都是重要的戒律。 《沙弥尼戒经》一卷 《沙弥尼戒经》一卷

English version: Admonish in private, do not speak in the presence of the crowd. Only when you hear of or see good deeds, may you proclaim them; when you hear of or see evil deeds, you must not spread them, but only report them to the Upadhyaya (preceptor), and not tell others. Constantly reflect on yourself, when you see good deeds, think of learning from them, when you see evil deeds, examine yourself, and feel sorrow for those who do not understand the reasons. If a Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) seeks an Upadhyaya (preceptor), she should find one who is intelligent, wise, and devoted to the Dharma, so that she can liberate others in every lifetime. It is like having a complete and sturdy ship that can carry people to the other shore. If the teacher is not intelligent and his conduct does not conform to the Dharma, he is not a good master. Having such a person as an Upadhyaya (preceptor) is like a broken ship that sinks in the middle of the sea while trying to cross it, drowning everyone, and the teacher also perishes, with no survivors. The one who initially teaches the Dharma and precepts is the true teacher. Hearing that a great master wants to be her Upadhyaya (preceptor), but the original Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) cannot receive his teachings, she should remotely call his name and pay homage to him as her teacher. It is not necessary to meet in person; if the heart is near, then it is near, if the heart is far, then it is far. Even if the bodies are close, if the minds are discordant, they are as far apart as a billion miles. When a Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) walks, she must not walk with a man, and must not live in the same room or the same temple with men or Śrāmaṇas (male renunciates). These are the major precepts of the Dharma.
