Sin. What is the reason for this? It is because this Bhikkhuni's (Buddhist nun) intention is not to accept offerings for the sake of the Dharma (Buddhist teachings), but to accept offerings with lustful thoughts. Because of this, the donors cannot find peace. If a Bhikkhuni is tired and sick, the illness will not heal, and ghosts and spirits will cause increasing disasters. Why? Because women are mostly indulgent in their postures and cannot rectify their own minds, how can they rectify the minds of others? They cannot even liberate themselves, how can they liberate the bodies of others? They are still in sin, how can they free others from sin? Why? Because they have too much desire and hope. Because of this, they cannot heal people's illnesses, but instead cause ghosts and spirits to create chaos.' The Buddha told Ananda (one of the Buddha's ten principal disciples): 'In my Dharma, there are now Bhikkhunis who will cause a decrease in lifespan by five hundred years. After my Parinirvana (the passing away of a Buddha or Arhat), there will be three thousand Bhikkhunis and one thousand eight hundred Bhikkhus (Buddhist monks), who will uphold these laws and all attain Arhatship (one who has attained the highest goal of enlightenment). In the future, there will be eighty thousand Bhikkhunis, and seven hundred and sixty Bhikkhunis who uphold these laws and scriptures, and all will attain Arhatship. The rest, after one hundred and thirty Kalpas (an aeon in Buddhist cosmology), will again uphold these laws and will again attain Arhatship.' At that time, Ananda asked the Buddha: 'How should Bhikkhunis practice to attain the Dao (the path to enlightenment)? What methods should they use to practice?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'The desires and defilements of the world are very heavy. If one can eliminate these postures, one can attain the Dao. A woman's body is like a jewel, its appearance is very beautiful, but it cannot last long. It will delude morality and cause the loss of the human body. Why? Because the jewel is beautiful, people will enter the deep sea to seek it endlessly, eventually losing their lives. Women seeking the Dao are only entangled by the eighty-four external postures, which in turn bind themselves. Those who fall into these eighty-four postures are like entering a deep sea, and will surely drown themselves. Those who can remove these eighty-four postures are Arhats.' Ananda again clasped his hands, knelt down, and said to the Buddha: 'What are the eighty-four postures? That prevent people from attaining the Dao. I hope that the Buddha will bestow his divine power to explain these postures, and display his majestic virtue, so that everyone can understand and believe in their meaning, and learn and listen to them all day long, thereby escaping from the suffering of sin and attaining true liberation.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 欢喜，及后当来皆使开解。”
