English version New learners should stay away from the temptations of various desires, maintain inner peace, and guard their actions. 'Firstly, Bhikkhus (male monastics) and Bhikkhunis (female monastics) should not reside side by side or in the same dwelling. If they do reside side by side or in the same dwelling, it is an impure act, they will be entangled by desires, and they cannot avoid the root of sin. They should firmly restrain themselves, wisely cut off desires, maintain inner peace, and guard their actions.' 'Secondly, every three months, they should reside in the same place, inspect and urge each other on, and reflect on what they have heard and seen. If they hear evil speech and do not stop it, it is as if they have not heard it; if they see it, it is as if they have not seen it, and there is no cause for interaction. Maintain inner peace and guard their actions.' 'Thirdly, Bhikkhunis should not independently resolve disputes. If a Bhikkhu disputes because of what he has heard or seen, or if a Bhikkhu disputes with a Bhikkhuni because of what he has heard or seen, the Bhikkhuni should reflect on her own faults and should not shout loudly, revealing her state of desire. They should inspect and urge themselves on, maintain inner peace, and guard their actions.' 'Fourthly, if a Bhikkhuni has aspirations for the Dharma, she may ask the Bhikkhu Sangha (monastic community) about matters of the Sutras and Vinaya (monastic rules), but she may only discuss Prajna Paramita (perfection of wisdom, the way to the other shore), and should not discuss unimportant worldly matters together. If they discuss unimportant matters, it is known that this person is not seeking the Way, but is a worldly, indulgent person. They should deeply reflect on themselves, maintain inner peace, and guard their actions.' 'Fifthly, if a Bhikkhuni has not yet attained the fruit of the Path, once she violates the precepts, she should confess her faults and repent in the Sangha every half month, thereby abandoning the attitude of arrogance. Now, she should also feel ashamed and remorseful, deeply reflect on herself, maintain inner peace, and guard her actions.' 'Sixthly, even if a Bhikkhuni is a hundred years old and upholds all the precepts, she should sit below a newly ordained Bhikkhu and should pay homage to him with humility and respect.' 'These are the Eight Garudhammas (eight weighty rules). I teach women that they should restrain themselves, not exceed these regulations, and should study and practice them throughout their lives. If Mahaprajapati (Buddha's aunt and foster mother) can indeed uphold these Eight Garudhammas, then she will be allowed to leave home and become a Sramana (wandering ascetic).' The worthy Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha), having received the Buddha's teachings, with skillful thought and deep understanding, arose, paid homage to the Buddha, and then departed. He told Gotami (another name for Mahaprajapati): 'Gotami! There is no need to worry anymore, you have already received permission to leave home, and leaving the family to pursue the truth is very peaceful.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。佛说：‘女人作沙门者，有八敬之法，不得逾越，但当终身勤意学而行之耳。持意当如防水善治堤塘，勿令漏泆。’”尔时阿难便一一为母说佛教敕八敬之事，言：“能如是者，可得入佛法律。” 于是大爱道闻是语即大欢喜而言：“唯诺阿难！听我一言。譬如四姓家女，沐浴涂香衣被庄严之事，而人复欲利之，如是宁当益安隐不？”对曰：“无不安隐也。”“复以好华香珍宝结为步瑶，持与女人，岂不爱乐头首受乎！今佛所教敕八敬法者，我亦观心，愿以头顶受而行之，遂乐所业万不惟恨，自约如是无不悦豫。” 尔时佛便授大爱道十戒为沙弥尼。“沙弥尼奉戒者，断之根也。不得杀生，禽兽虫蛾斫树生折草华，终无害心。不得盗不得偷，不得贪人财物、或娱色欲、软细语言令人迷乱。贪得布施以为家业，此利堕贪盗之中。比丘尼当慎莫豫也。” 尔时大爱道便受十戒为沙弥尼。“何等为十戒？为贤者道。当以慈心不起毒意，尽形寿不得残杀群生伤害人物，常念所生当慈念之。精进行道，欲度父母及一切人，慎无温讼求直害彼。蜎飞蠕动蚑行之类，一不得伤害。恒欲济生慈心于道，及见杀者为其堕泪，闻声不食，常当悲哀之。自誓淫欲之根，乃致是哉乎。作是、得是、不与他人。有犯斯戒，非 { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本\n佛说：‘女人如果想出家做沙门（佛教出家修行者），必须遵守八敬法，不得违越，应当终身勤勉学习并践行。保持意念应当像防水一样，好好修筑堤坝，不要让它泄漏。’”当时，阿难（释迦牟尼的十大弟子之一）便一一为摩诃波阇波提（佛陀的姨母，也是第一位比丘尼）讲述佛教规定的八敬法，说：“能够这样做的，才可以进入佛的法律之中。”", "于是摩诃波阇波提听了这些话，非常欢喜地说：“是的，阿难！听我说一句。譬如四姓（古印度社会四个种姓）人家的女子，沐浴、涂香、穿戴华丽的衣物，如果有人再给她利益，这样难道不会更加安稳吗？”阿难回答说：“没有不安稳的。”摩诃波阇波提说：“再用美好的花香和珍宝结成步摇（一种首饰），送给女人，难道她不会喜爱并戴在头上吗！现在佛所教导的八敬法，我也用心观察，愿意用头顶来接受并践行，因此乐于所做的事，万分不会后悔，自己约束自己，没有不喜悦的。”", "当时，佛便授予摩诃波阇波提十戒，让她成为沙弥尼（见习女出家人）。“沙弥尼奉持戒律，是断除烦恼的根本。不得杀生，即使是禽兽、虫蛾，砍树、折断草木花朵，都不能有伤害的心。不得盗取，不得偷窃，不得贪图别人的财物，或者用妖冶的姿态、轻柔的言语来迷惑他人。贪图得到布施来作为家业，这种利益会堕入贪盗之中。比丘尼（正式出家的女性）应当谨慎，不要参与这些事。”", "当时，摩诃波阇波提便受持十戒，成为沙弥尼。“什么是十戒呢？是贤者的道路。应当以慈悲心对待一切众生，不起恶毒的念头，终身不得残杀任何生物，伤害人和动物，常常想着所生之处，应当慈悲地对待它们。精进修行，想要度化父母和一切人，谨慎不要参与诉讼，为了求得自己的理而伤害他人。即使是小虫、蠕动的生物，都不得伤害。永远想要救济众生，以慈悲心对待一切，如果见到杀生的人，要为他们流泪，听到杀生的声音，不吃肉食，常常应当悲悯他们。自己发誓断除淫欲的根本，才会有这样的成就。做了什么，得到什么，不会给别人。如果违犯这些戒律，就不是..." ], "english_translations": [ "English version\nThe Buddha said: 'If a woman wishes to become a *sramana* (Buddhist monastic), she must observe the Eight Respects (*asta-garu-dharma*), which she must not transgress, but should diligently study and practice throughout her life. She should guard her mind as one would build a strong embankment to prevent water from leaking out.'" At that time, Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha) explained to Mahaprajapati (Buddha's maternal aunt and foster mother, also the first Buddhist nun) one by one the Eight Respects prescribed by the Buddha, saying, 'One who can do this can enter the Buddha's law.'", "Then Mahaprajapati, hearing these words, rejoiced greatly and said, 'Yes, Ananda! Listen to me. For example, if a woman from one of the four castes (the four social classes in ancient India) bathes, applies fragrant oils, and wears adorned clothing, and someone then gives her further benefits, would this not bring her even greater peace and security?' Ananda replied, 'There would be no lack of peace and security.' Mahaprajapati said, 'Furthermore, if beautiful fragrant flowers and precious jewels were strung together to form a *buyao* (a kind of hairpin), and given to a woman, would she not love and wear it on her head! Now, the Eight Respects taught by the Buddha, I also observe with my heart, and I am willing to accept and practice them with the crown of my head. Therefore, I am happy in what I do, and I will never regret it. I restrain myself in this way, and there is nothing but joy.'", "At that time, the Buddha then bestowed upon Mahaprajapati the Ten Precepts to become a *sramanerika* (a novice female monastic). 'Observing the precepts for a *sramanerika* is the root of cutting off afflictions. One must not kill living beings, even birds, beasts, insects, or ants. One must not cut down trees or break grass and flowers, and one must never have a harmful thought. One must not steal, one must not covet the wealth of others, or use seductive gestures and gentle words to confuse others. To crave offerings as a means of livelihood is to fall into greed and theft. *Bhikkhunis* (fully ordained female monastics) should be careful not to participate in these things.'", "At that time, Mahaprajapati then received the Ten Precepts and became a *sramanerika*. 'What are the Ten Precepts? They are the path of the wise. One should treat all beings with compassion, without harboring any malicious thoughts. Throughout one's life, one must not kill any living creatures, harm people or animals, and always remember the place of birth, and treat them with compassion. Diligently practice the Way, desiring to liberate parents and all people. Be careful not to engage in lawsuits, seeking to justify oneself at the expense of others. Even small insects, crawling creatures, must not be harmed. Always desire to help living beings, treat all with compassion, and if one sees someone killing, one should weep for them. Upon hearing the sound of killing, one should not eat meat, and should always be compassionate towards them. Vow to cut off the root of lust, for that is the cause of such suffering. What one does, one receives, and one does not give it to others. If one violates these precepts, one is not...'" ] } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 沙弥尼也。

“二者尽形寿不得偷盗、不得贪财。买贱卖贵圭合铢两，一不得欺人。心存于道，静志自守。口不教人买使奴婢借倩僮客，或人惠施财宝及男子衣被，一不得取。若受者，为不清净，是为勃乱。不得服饰衣珍宝之衣，不得着珠环璎珞，不得坐高床帏帐之中。若有此想，为不清净。衣取盖形，莫用文采。饭取充口，立其四大，莫着味、积秽恶宝、人与莫受，恶从何得前耶。若设受者，为不清净。为人说经前，叹罪恶地狱之患。贤者当知，天上之福不可称量，违说世间生死之事也。若设布施者，宁就斩手不取非财也，寂然自守坚离色欲。有犯斯戒，非沙弥尼也。 “三者沙弥尼尽形寿不得淫。不得畜夫婿、不得思夫婿、不得念夫婿，房远男子禁闭情态、心无存淫、口无言调、华香脂粉无以近身。常念欲态垢浊不净，自念淫恶万事百端，宁破骨碎心焚烧身体死死无淫。非淫妷而生，不如守贞洁而死。淫妷之态，譬如须弥山，溺在海中无有出期。淫妷之欲，没在泥犁中，甚于须弥山。有犯斯戒，非沙弥尼也。 “四者沙弥尼尽形寿至诚有信。心直为本，口无二言，不得两舌说道奸非，不得恶骂詈中伤他人，妄言绮语前誉后毁、证入人罪。不得诽谤于他人，是不是好不好。徐语惟正乃宣，不正无 现代汉语译本 沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）： ‘第二，终身不得偷盗，不得贪财。买卖时在重量上缺斤少两，一概不得欺骗他人。心中想着道，清静心志，自我守护。口中不教唆他人购买或使用奴婢，借用或雇佣童仆，别人施舍的财宝以及男子的衣服被褥，一概不得接受。如果接受了，就是不清净，这是扰乱修行。不得穿戴华丽珍贵的衣服，不得佩戴珠环璎珞，不得坐在高床帷帐之中。如果心中有这些想法，就是不清净。穿衣为了遮盖身体，不要用有花纹的。吃饭为了充饥，维持四大（地、水、火、风）的平衡，不要追求味道，不要积攒污秽之物。别人给的珍宝，不要接受，恶念从何而来呢？如果一定要接受，就是不清净。在为人讲经说法之前，要叹息罪恶和地狱的苦难。贤者应当知道，天上之福是不可称量的，不要违背正道，宣说世间生老病死的事情。如果有人布施，宁可砍断手也不要接受不义之财，寂静安然地守护自己，坚决远离**。如果违犯了这些戒律，就不是沙弥尼。 ‘第三，沙弥尼终身不得行淫。不得有丈夫，不得思念丈夫，不得想念丈夫，住所要远离男子，禁闭自己的情态，心中没有淫念，口中没有调情之语，不要用华丽的香料脂粉来接近身体。常常想着淫欲之态是污浊不净的，自己想着淫恶之事会带来各种各样的麻烦，宁可粉身碎骨，焚烧身体而死，也不要行淫。与其因为淫欲而生，不如为了守贞洁而死。淫欲之态，譬如须弥山（Sumeru）：沉溺在海中，没有出来的日子。淫欲之欲，没在地狱（Naraka）中，比须弥山还要深重。如果违犯了这些戒律，就不是沙弥尼。 ‘第四，沙弥尼终身都要至诚有信。以心直为根本，口中没有二话，不得两舌搬弄是非，不得恶语谩骂中伤他人，不得妄语绮语，当面赞誉背后诋毁，诬陷他人罪行。不得诽谤他人，说人的是非好坏。说话要缓慢而正直，不正直的话不要说。
