English version: If one knows that a person will come by this road, one should first make a smokeless fire pit, cover it with sand and soil, and if one says, 'Because this person will come by this road, I made this pit.' If this person dies as a result, one commits an irredeemable offense; if one does not die immediately, but later dies because of this reason, one also commits an irredeemable offense; if one does not die immediately, and later does not die because of this reason, it is a medium offense that can be repented. Making a smokeless fire pit for others, if a person dies, it is irredeemable; if a non-human (referring to ghosts and spirits, etc.) dies, it is a medium offense that can be repented; if a livestock dies, it is a minor offense that can be repented. Making a pit for a non-human, if a non-human dies, it is a medium offense that can be repented; if a person dies, it is a minor offense that can be repented; if a livestock dies, one commits a minor offense that can be repented. If one makes a pit for livestock, if a livestock dies, it is a minor offense that can be repented; if a person falls and dies, or a non-human falls and dies, both commit a minor offense that can be repented. If an Upasaka (Upasaka, a lay male devotee) does not specifically make a pit for one thing, and all who come are made to fall and die, if a person dies, one commits an irredeemable offense; if a non-human dies, it is a medium offense that can be repented; if a livestock dies, it is a minor offense that can be repented; if no one dies, one commits three expedient offenses that can be repented. This is called smokeless fire pit killing! 'Vaitāla (Vaitāla, a kind of man-eating ghost)', if an Upasaka on the twenty-ninth day, seeks a corpse with a whole body, summons a ghost, chants a mantra to make the corpse stand up, washes it with water, puts on clothes, and makes the corpse hold a knife in its hand, if one thinks in one's heart or says in one's mouth, 'I am doing this Vaitāla for so-and-so!' then one recites the mantra, if the person one wants to harm dies, one commits an irredeemable offense; if this person enters various Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative absorption), or is protected by heavenly gods, or is rescued by a great mantra master, and no harm is done, one commits a medium offense that can be repented. This is called Vaitāla killing! 'Half Vaitāla', if an Upasaka on the twenty-ninth day makes an iron chariot, after making the iron chariot, makes an iron man, summons a ghost, chants a mantra to make the iron man stand up, washes it with water, puts on clothes, and makes the iron man hold a knife in its hand, if one thinks in one's heart or says in one's mouth, 'I am reciting this mantra for so-and-so!' If this person dies, one commits an irredeemable offense; if this person enters various Samadhi, is protected by heavenly gods, or is rescued by a mantra master, and does not die, it is a medium offense. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 罪可悔。是名半毗陀罗杀。

English version A sin that can be repented is called half-Vaitarana killing (half the sin of taking a life). 'Taking a life' refers to, for twenty-nine days, smearing the ground with cow dung, placing wine and food in the middle, lighting a fire and immediately putting it into water, silently reciting a mantra in your heart and mouth, saying: 'As the fire is extinguished in the water. If the fire is extinguished, that person's life will also be extinguished.' Again, for twenty-nine days, smearing the ground with cow dung, placing wine and food in the middle, drawing an image of the person you want to kill. After drawing the image, immediately erase it, silently reciting a mantra in your heart and mouth, saying: 'As this image is destroyed, that person's life will also be destroyed. If the image is destroyed, that person's life will also be destroyed.' Again, for twenty-nine days, smearing the ground with cow dung, placing wine and food in the middle, pricking the corner of a garment with a needle, immediately pulling it out, silently reciting a mantra in your heart and mouth, saying: 'As this needle is pulled out, that person's life will also be pulled out.' This is called taking a life. If various spells are used to cause death, an unpardonable sin is committed; if the person does not die, it is a medium sin that can be repented. 'Abortion' refers to giving a pregnant woman emetic drugs or infusing various drugs, or piercing blood vessels with needles, or even using tear-inducing drugs, thinking in your heart: 'By this cause and condition, let this woman die.' If she dies, an unpardonable sin is committed; if she does not die immediately, but later dies because of this reason, an unpardonable sin is also committed; if she does not die immediately, and later does not die because of this reason, it is a medium sin that can be repented. If the abortion is done to kill the mother, if the mother dies, an unpardonable sin is committed; if the fetus dies, this sin can be repented; if both the mother and the fetus die, this sin is unpardonable; if neither the mother nor the fetus dies, it is a medium sin that can be repented. If an abortion method is used to kill the fetus, if the fetus dies, an unpardonable sin is committed; if the fetus does not die, it is a medium sin that can be repented; if the mother dies, it is a medium sin that can be repented; if both die, an unpardonable sin is committed. This is called the method of abortion and killing. 'Pressing the abdomen' refers to making a pregnant woman do heavy labor, or carry heavy objects, inciting her to run in front of a cart, or making her climb a steep bank, thinking in your heart: 'Let this woman die.' If she dies, an unpardonable sin is committed; if she does not die immediately, but later dies because of this reason, this sin is unpardonable; if --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

不因死者，是中罪可悔。若为胎者，如上说，是名按腹杀也。 “遣令道中死者，知是道中有恶兽饥饿，遣令往至恶道中，作如是念：‘令彼恶道中死。’死者，犯不可悔；余者亦犯，同如上说。是名恶道中杀。乃至母胎中，初得二根——身根、命根——迦罗逻时，以杀心起，方便欲令死。死者，犯不可悔；余犯同如上说。 “赞叹杀有三种：一者，恶戒人；二者，善戒人；三者，老病人。恶戒人者，杀牛羊，养鸡猪，放鹰捕鱼，猎师围兔、射獐鹿等，偷贼魁脍，咒龙守狱，若到是人所，作如是言：‘汝等恶戒人，何以久作罪？不如早死！’是人因死者，是罪不可悔；若不因死者，是中罪可悔。若恶人作如是言：‘我不用是人语。’不因是死，犯中可悔罪。若赞叹是人令死，便心悔，作是念：‘何以教是人死？’还到语言：‘汝等恶人，或以善知识因缘故，亲近善人，得听善法，能正思惟，得离恶罪，汝勿自杀。’若是人受其语不死者，是中罪可悔。 “善戒人者，如来四众是也。若到诸善人所，如是言：‘汝持善戒有福德人。若死，便受天福。何不自夺命？’是人因是自杀死者，犯不可悔罪；若不自杀者，中罪可悔。若善戒人作是念：‘我何以受他语自杀！’若不死者，是罪可悔。若教他死已， 现代汉语译本：如果不是因为死者自身的原因，这种罪属于中等罪，可以忏悔。如果是为了堕胎，情况如上所述，这被称为按压腹部杀人。 ‘派遣他人到必死的路上，明知道这条路上有凶猛的野兽饥饿难耐，还派遣他人前往恶劣的环境中，并这样想：‘让他死在恶劣的环境中。’如果这个人因此而死，就犯了不可忏悔的罪；其余情况也构成犯罪，与上述情况相同。这被称为在恶劣环境中杀人。甚至在母胎中，最初获得两个根——身根（kaya-indriya）、命根（jīvitendriya）——在羯罗蓝（kalala）阶段，就以杀心生起，想方设法要让他死亡。如果因此而死，就犯了不可忏悔的罪；其余情况也构成犯罪，与上述情况相同。 赞叹杀人有三种情况：第一种是，对恶戒之人；第二种是，对善戒之人；第三种是，对年老病人。对于恶戒之人，比如杀牛羊、养鸡猪、放鹰捕鱼、猎师围猎兔子、射杀獐鹿等，以及偷盗贼首、刽子手、诅咒龙、狱卒，如果到这些人那里，这样说：‘你们这些恶戒之人，为什么还要长期作恶？不如早点死了算了！’如果这些人因此而死，这种罪是不可忏悔的；如果不是因为这些话而死，就是中等罪，可以忏悔。如果恶人说：‘我不听这些人的话。’如果不是因为这些话而死，就犯了中等可忏悔的罪。如果赞叹这些人让他们去死，之后又后悔，这样想：‘我为什么要教这些人去死？’然后又去对他们说：‘你们这些恶人，或许因为善知识的缘故，亲近善人，得以听闻善法，能够正确地思考，从而脱离恶罪，你们不要自杀。’如果这些人听了他的话没有自杀，这就是中等罪，可以忏悔。 善戒之人，指的是如来的四众弟子。如果到这些善人那里，这样说：‘你们持守善戒，是有福德的人。如果死了，就能享受天上的福报。为什么不自己结束生命呢？’如果这些人因为这些话而自杀，就犯了不可忏悔的罪；如果没有自杀，就是中等罪，可以忏悔。如果善戒之人这样想：‘我为什么要听他的话自杀！’如果没有自杀，这种罪是可以忏悔的。如果教唆他人去死之后，

English version: If the death is not caused by the deceased's own actions, it is a medium offense that can be repented. If it is for abortion, the situation is as described above, and it is called killing by pressing the abdomen. 'Sending someone to a road where death is certain, knowing that there are fierce and hungry beasts on this road, and sending them to a bad environment, thinking: 'Let him die in that bad environment.' If the person dies because of this, it is an irredeemable offense; other cases are also offenses, the same as described above. This is called killing in a bad environment. Even in the mother's womb, when the first two roots are obtained—the body root (kaya-indriya), and the life root (jīvitendriya)—at the kalala stage, with the intention to kill arising, trying to cause death. If death results, it is an irredeemable offense; other offenses are the same as described above.' There are three types of praising killing: first, praising killing to those with evil precepts; second, praising killing to those with good precepts; third, praising killing to the old and sick. For those with evil precepts, such as those who kill cattle and sheep, raise chickens and pigs, release eagles to catch fish, hunters who hunt rabbits, shoot deer, etc., as well as thieves, executioners, those who curse dragons, and prison guards, if you go to these people and say: 'You evil precept holders, why do you continue to commit evil for so long? Why not die sooner!' If these people die because of this, the offense is irredeemable; if they do not die because of these words, it is a medium offense that can be repented. If the evil person says: 'I will not listen to these people's words,' and does not die because of these words, it is a medium repentable offense. If you praise these people to die, and then regret it, thinking: 'Why did I teach these people to die?' Then you go back and say to them: 'You evil people, perhaps because of a good teacher, you can be close to good people, hear good Dharma, be able to think correctly, and escape evil offenses, do not kill yourselves.' If these people listen to your words and do not kill themselves, it is a medium offense that can be repented. Those with good precepts refer to the fourfold assembly of the Tathagata. If you go to these good people and say: 'You uphold good precepts and are virtuous people. If you die, you will enjoy heavenly blessings. Why not end your own lives?' If these people commit suicide because of these words, it is an irredeemable offense; if they do not commit suicide, it is a medium offense that can be repented. If the person with good precepts thinks: 'Why should I listen to his words and commit suicide!' If they do not commit suicide, this offense can be repented.
