English version: If there are many wicked people, and the community is unwilling to accept them, one should avoid leaving that area. If they dwell together and observe the varsa (rain retreat) together, they cannot observe the varsa again. Question: 'During the summer retreat, is it permissible to hold a fan or a whisk?' Answer: 'All whisks made of hair or animal tails are not allowed to be held, but fans made of reeds or bamboo are allowed.' Question: 'During the summer retreat, is it permissible to create merit for a deceased teacher?' Answer: 'Yes, it is. But one should not personally handle the related affairs.' Question: 'Can a person who enters the retreat later leave after observing the varsa on the fifteenth day of the seventh month?' Answer: 'No, they cannot. If they did not know beforehand that they had already observed the varsa, they can. If they knowingly violate the rule, they cannot. If the Sangha (community) has already harmonized and is preparing to accept the counting sticks, then when the person who entered the retreat later observes the varsa, the person who entered earlier does the same.' Question: 'Two people ordained in the same year, the younger one enters the retreat earlier, and the older one enters later. The one who entered earlier has already observed the varsa, and the one who entered later has not yet observed it. Within a month, who should be considered senior?' Answer: 'The one who ordained earlier is still senior, calculated according to the date of ordination.' Question: 'During the summer retreat, if one does not accept the seven-day rule and only temporarily leaves the boundary slightly, can one continue the retreat?' Answer: 'After repentance, one can.' Question: 'During the summer retreat, can one accept the seven-day rule three times for one reason?' Answer: 'Yes, one can.' Question: 'During the summer retreat, if there are ten or five people who did not participate in the retreat and want to stay and observe the varsa together, can they stay and observe the varsa together?' Answer: 'If they arrive in time to participate in the later varsa boundary setting, they can. If they do not arrive in time for the later varsa boundary setting, they cannot. If this person is completely unaware of the rules of the retreat, they can be accommodated. If they knowingly violate the rules, they cannot.' Question: 'If one does not set the varsa boundary or accept the seven-day rule, but has already received ordination years, can they be counted in the summer years?' Answer: 'If one is unaware of the rules of the retreat and has already received ordination years, they can be counted as ordination years, but not as summer years. If one has already entered the retreat, the Sangha should advise them once to correct it. If they do not correct it after three admonishments, they commit the offense of harsh speech and need to undergo a decisive confession. If they correct it, they can be counted as summer years. When correcting it, it should be announced to the community and approved, then it is permissible.' Question: 'If a Bhikkhu (monk) does not observe the varsa, what offense does he commit?' Answer: 'If a Bhikkhu does not observe the varsa, the Sangha should advise him to observe it. One to three admonishments are good. If he does not accept it after three admonishments, he commits the offense of decisive action.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 断，过四不受非沙门，以不肯受法故。”

English version Question: 'One who has severed (afflictions), who is beyond the four who are unworthy of offerings, is not a Śrāmaṇa (Buddhist monastic) because he is unwilling to accept the Dharma.' Question: 'If a newly ordained person observes the Varṣa (rain retreat) and begins the retreat after midday, does it count as a year?' Answer: 'Yes, it does. Only the latter part of the night is not permissible.' Question: 'If during the Varṣa, one forgets to observe the seven-day (rule) and goes out once, can one still observe the retreat?' Answer: 'If one remembers and repents, yes. One cannot have more than three repentances in one retreat; exceeding three repentances disqualifies it as a year.' Question: 'If it rains when receiving the year (completion of the retreat), can one receive the year under a roof?' Answer: 'Yes, one can.' Question: 'If one plans to establish a retreat in a certain direction but is hindered from reaching it, can one establish the retreat remotely?' Answer: 'No, one cannot. One can only establish the retreat after arriving there. If there is a dwelling place for monks on the way, one should go there to establish the retreat. Spend two or three days repairing the dwelling, and then after observing thirty-nine days, one can leave. If there is no dwelling place for monks, five or more people should jointly establish a boundary for the retreat, and then leave one or two people to guard the boundary. Only after completing thirty-nine days can one leave. If the later person leaves before completing thirty-nine days, the person who left earlier does not unknowingly lose the retreat, but the later person loses it.' Question: 'Can one to four people establish a retreat at the home of a layperson?' Answer: 'No, one cannot. Five or more people are required to establish a retreat.' Question: 'Can one person establish a retreat in a quiet place?' Answer: 'If there is a pre-existing boundary, two or more people can. One person cannot, because there is no one to jointly observe the retreat. Without a boundary, it is completely impermissible. If one wishes to establish a separate retreat, one should invite monks to establish a boundary for the retreat, and then it is permissible.' Question: 'During the Varṣa, can a Bhikṣu (monk) receive pure offerings from others or accept items entrusted by others, even if it takes ten days to three months? Is that permissible?' Answer: 'Accept with a non-greedy intention, without limiting the time.' Question: 'During the Varṣa, if one engages in intentional activities within the boundary, does it accord with the rules of the retreat?' Answer: 'For meritorious activities, one can give instructions; otherwise, one cannot.' Question: 'The text for observing the Varṣa states that damaged dwellings should be repaired. Does this refer to the beginning of the retreat or the end of the retreat?' Answer: 'Repair it when it is damaged during the three months (of the retreat).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
