English version Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice): ‘Secondly, for the rest of your life, you must not steal, and you must not be greedy for wealth. In buying and selling, you must not cheat others by giving short weight or measure. Keep your mind on the Dharma, keep your mind quiet, and guard yourself. Do not teach others to buy or use slaves, or to borrow or hire servants. Do not accept gifts of wealth, or men's clothing and bedding. If you do, you are impure, and this is a disturbance to practice. You must not wear ornate and precious clothing, or wear pearl rings and necklaces, or sit on high beds with curtains. If you have these thoughts, you are impure. Take clothing to cover the body, do not use patterns. Take food to fill the mouth, to maintain the balance of the four elements (earth, water, fire, and wind), do not pursue taste, do not accumulate dirty things. Do not accept jewels given by others, where do evil thoughts come from? If you must accept them, you are impure. Before speaking the Dharma to others, lament the suffering of sin and hell (Naraka). The wise should know that the blessings of heaven are immeasurable, do not go against the right path and speak of the world's birth, old age, sickness and death. If someone makes offerings, rather cut off your hand than accept unjust wealth, quietly guard yourself, and resolutely stay away from **. If you violate these precepts, you are not a Śrāmaṇerikā. ‘Thirdly, for the rest of your life, a Śrāmaṇerikā must not engage in sexual activity. You must not have a husband, you must not think of a husband, you must not miss a husband, your residence must be far away from men, keep your emotions closed, have no lustful thoughts in your heart, no flirtatious words in your mouth, and do not use gorgeous fragrances and powders to approach the body. Always think that the state of lust is filthy and impure, and think that lustful and evil things will bring all kinds of troubles. Rather break your bones and shatter your heart, burn your body to death, than engage in sexual activity. It is better to die guarding chastity than to be born because of lust. The state of lust is like Mount Sumeru (Sumeru): drowning in the sea, with no day to come out. The desire for lust is submerged in hell (Naraka), which is deeper than Mount Sumeru. If you violate these precepts, you are not a Śrāmaṇerikā. ‘Fourthly, for the rest of your life, a Śrāmaṇerikā must be sincere and faithful. Take sincerity as the foundation, have no double talk in your mouth, do not gossip and stir up trouble, do not use abusive language to slander and hurt others, do not lie or use flowery language, praise in front and slander behind, and falsely accuse others of crimes. Do not slander others, and speak of the rights and wrongs of others. Speak slowly and justly, and do not speak if it is not just.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

宣也。若人说法一心听之，思念要义意以为庆。大士处世，斧在口中，所以杀身皆由恶言。恣心快语乃致祸患，捡身口意灾当何缘？智者所达，自守节一心。有犯斯戒，非沙弥尼也。 “五者沙弥尼尽形寿不得饮酒。不得尝酒、不得嗅酒、不得粥酒、以酒饮人。不得言有欺药酒、不得至酒家、不得与酒客共语言。夫酒为毒药、酒为毒水、酒为毒气，众失之原众恶之本，残贤毁圣败乱道德，轻毁致灾立祸根本。四大枯朽，去福就祸靡不更之。宁饮焬铜，不饮酒味。所以者何？酒令人失志迷乱颠狂，令人不觉入泥犁中，是故防酒耳。有犯斯戒，非沙弥尼也。 “六者沙弥尼尽形寿不得乘车马舆、快心恣意可口骂詈、咒咀自可。不得戏故五岁男儿，不得引掌触雄畜生，不得挝捶雄畜生，不得摸𢱢雄畜生阴。静志自守思念经道，常以空寂为娱乐。一切群生无快死者，欲买其肉，五肉不得食。常自惭愧恶露不净，忏悔慈心无所伤害。有犯斯戒，非沙弥尼也。 “七者沙弥尼尽形寿不得采画。不得金缕绣，不作织成衣与他人，不得坐高床上低帷而坐，不得照镜自现其形相好不好，不得施床襜衣，不得倨床而吟，不得大笑而语。不得高声大语，语时当软声。不得弹琴手执乐器，不得歌舞自摇身体，不得顾视而行， 现代汉语译本： 宣讲的是，如果有人说法，要一心听讲，思考其中的重要意义，并心怀喜悦。菩萨处世，祸从口出，所以招致杀身之祸都是因为恶语。放纵心思，逞一时口舌之快，最终会导致灾祸。约束身、口、意，灾祸从何而来呢？智者通达事理，会坚守节操，一心向善。如有违反此戒律者，就不是沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerī，意为女出家众）。 ‘第五，沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerī）终身不得饮酒。不得品尝酒的味道，不得闻酒的气味，不得用酒送粥，不得用酒给人喝。不得说有可以欺骗人的药酒，不得去酒家，不得与酒客交谈。酒是毒药，酒是毒水，酒是毒气，是众多过失的根源，是众多罪恶的根本，会摧残贤能，毁坏圣人，败坏道德，轻慢侮辱会招致灾祸，是树立祸患的根本。使四大（四大，指地、水、火、风四种构成物质世界的元素）枯竭衰朽，舍弃福报而趋向祸患，没有谁能避免这些。宁愿饮用烧红的铜汁，也不饮用酒的味道。为什么呢？因为酒会使人丧失意志，迷惑颠狂，使人在不知不觉中堕入泥犁（Niraya，意为地狱）之中，所以要防止饮酒。如有违反此戒律者，就不是沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerī）。’ ‘第六，沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerī）终身不得乘坐车马轿舆，不得随心所欲地谩骂诅咒，不得戏弄五岁左右的男童，不得用手掌触摸雄性畜生，不得敲打捶击雄性畜生，不得抚摸玩弄雄性畜生的阴部。应保持清静的志向，守护自己的行为，思念经书中的道理，经常以空寂为乐。一切众生没有喜欢死亡的，如果想要购买它们的肉，五种肉（五种肉，指人肉、象肉、马肉、狗肉、蛇肉）不得食用。应经常为自己的身体污秽不净而感到惭愧，忏悔自己的罪过，以慈悲之心对待一切众生，不伤害任何生命。如有违反此戒律者，就不是沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerī）。’ ‘第七，沙弥尼（Śrāmaṇerī）终身不得进行彩绘装饰。不得用金线刺绣，不为他人制作织锦华丽的衣服，不得坐在高大的床上，低垂着帷幔而坐，不得照镜子，自我欣赏自己的容貌是好是坏，不得施舍床上的装饰品，不得靠在床上吟唱，不得大声喧笑说话。说话时应当轻声细语。不得弹琴，不得手持乐器，不得唱歌跳舞，摇动身体，不得左顾右盼地行走。

English version: It is proclaimed that if someone preaches the Dharma, one should listen attentively with a focused mind, contemplate the essential meanings, and rejoice in one's heart. A Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva, meaning an enlightened being) living in the world should be mindful that misfortune often comes from the mouth; therefore, the cause of being killed often stems from evil speech. Indulging the mind and being quick with words will eventually lead to disaster. If one controls one's body, speech, and mind, where will disaster come from? The wise understand this and will uphold integrity and focus on goodness. Whoever violates this precept is not a Śrāmaṇerī (Śrāmaṇerī, meaning a female novice).' 'Fifth, a Śrāmaṇerī (Śrāmaṇerī) shall not drink alcohol for the rest of her life. She shall not taste alcohol, smell alcohol, use alcohol to mix with porridge, or give alcohol to others to drink. She shall not say there is medicinal alcohol that can deceive people, she shall not go to taverns, and she shall not converse with drinkers. Alcohol is a poison, alcohol is toxic water, alcohol is toxic air, the source of many faults, the root of many evils, destroying the virtuous, ruining the saints, corrupting morality, and causing disasters through disrespect and humiliation, the root of establishing misfortune. It causes the four elements (four elements, referring to earth, water, fire, and wind, the four elements that constitute the material world) to wither and decay, abandoning blessings and heading towards misfortune, and no one can avoid these. Rather drink molten copper than taste alcohol. Why? Because alcohol causes people to lose their will, become confused and deranged, causing them to unknowingly fall into Niraya (Niraya, meaning hell). Therefore, one must guard against alcohol. Whoever violates this precept is not a Śrāmaṇerī (Śrāmaṇerī).' 'Sixth, a Śrāmaṇerī (Śrāmaṇerī) shall not ride in carriages, horses, or palanquins for the rest of her life, shall not curse or scold at will, shall not tease boys around the age of five, shall not touch male animals with her palms, shall not strike or beat male animals, and shall not fondle the genitals of male animals. She should maintain a pure mind, guard her actions, contemplate the principles in the scriptures, and always find joy in solitude. All sentient beings do not desire death. If one wants to buy their meat, the five kinds of meat (five kinds of meat, referring to human meat, elephant meat, horse meat, dog meat, and snake meat) shall not be eaten. One should always feel ashamed of the impurity of one's body, repent for one's sins, treat all sentient beings with compassion, and not harm any life. Whoever violates this precept is not a Śrāmaṇerī (Śrāmaṇerī).' 'Seventh, a Śrāmaṇerī (Śrāmaṇerī) shall not engage in painting and decoration for the rest of her life. She shall not embroider with gold thread, shall not make brocade and ornate clothes for others, shall not sit on a high bed with lowered curtains, shall not look in the mirror and admire her appearance, whether it is good or bad, shall not donate bed decorations, shall not lean on the bed and chant, and shall not laugh loudly while speaking. When speaking, one should speak softly. She shall not play the zither, hold musical instruments, sing and dance, or shake her body, and shall not look around while walking.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
