English version The Sutra on Five Hundred Light and Heavy Matters in the Vinaya as Asked by Maudgalyāyana, Spoken by the Buddha Volume 1 Name of Translator Lost, Now Appended to the Eastern Jin Record Chapter 1: Matters of the Five Categories Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove (Kalandaka Venuvana) in Rājagṛha (王舍城). At that time, Maudgalyāyana (目连) rose from his seat and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! I now wish to ask some questions. I hope the World-Honored One will explain them for me.' The Buddha said: 'Excellent! What you ask can greatly benefit countless beings. Ask whatever you wish.' Maudgalyāyana said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! In the degenerate age, if a Bhikṣu (比丘) disrespects the Buddha's words, violates the Śaikṣa (眾學戒) precepts, and mixes the use of the Three Jewels' (Triratna 三寶) property, where will he fall?' At that time, the Buddha told Maudgalyāyana: 'Listen carefully, listen carefully, I will explain it to you. If a Bhikṣu has no shame, disrespects the Buddha's words, and violates the Śaikṣa precepts, like the Four Heavenly Kings (Cāturmahārājika 四天王) whose lifespan is five hundred years, he will fall into Naraka (泥犁) after death, which is equivalent to nine million years in the human realm. Violating Pratideśanīya (波羅提提舍尼), like the Thirty-three Heavens (Trāyastriṃśa 三十三天) whose lifespan is one thousand years, he will fall into Naraka after death, which is equivalent to three hundred and sixty million years in the human realm. Violating Pāyantika (波夜提), like the Yama Heaven (Yāmadeva 夜摩天) whose lifespan is two thousand years, he will fall into Naraka after death, which is equivalent to twenty billion years in the human realm. Violating Sthūlātyaya (偷蘭遮), like the Tuṣita Heaven (兜率天) whose lifespan is four thousand years, he will fall into Naraka after death, which is equivalent to fifty-six billion years in the human realm. Violating Saṃghāvaśeṣa (僧伽婆尸沙), like the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heaven (不憍樂天) whose lifespan is eight thousand years, he will fall into Naraka after death, which is equivalent to two hundred and thirty billion and forty million years in the human realm. Violating Pārājika (波羅夷), like the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heaven (他化自在天) whose lifespan is sixteen thousand years, he will fall into Naraka after death, which is equivalent to five hundred and twenty-one billion and sixty million years in the human realm.' Chapter 2: Asking About Buddha Matters Question: 'If Buddha's property is initially placed in one place, and a Bhikṣu takes it to another place to perform Buddha's affairs, what offense is committed?' Answer: 'The offense of abandonment is committed. All Buddha's property must not be moved. If there is a difficulty and all the Sangha (眾僧) must leave, it should be reported to the assembly. If the assembly agrees, then it can be taken.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 至余处，无罪。” 问：“佛物得买供养具不？”答：“得。”

问：“佛物造堂与直，可赁不？”答：“一切佛物得买，不得赁。” 问：“比丘作佛事，得佛奴牛驴马。得借使不？”答：“若知本是佛物，不得。不知得，以非法得故。” 问：“僧地起塔，用佛物作篱，篱里可住不？”答：“若知而故入犯堕，不知不犯。若知故住，过三谏犯决断，过四谏转犯重。” 问：“先佛堂坏，主人更出私财作堂，用故财施比丘。比丘可取不？”答言：“不得。” 问：“僧地，佛物用作都篱，篱里先有井果菜，可食不？”答：“不得。若是檀越物作佛事，先要以果并菜施僧，得食。不要，不得食。若买，五倍价。若知不买而食，计钱多少犯罪。” 问：“欠负佛物，物云何偿？”答：“直偿本物。以佛不出入，故不加偿。虽尔，故入地狱。昔佛泥洹后，一比丘精进聪明。有一婆罗门见比丘精进聪明，持女施比丘，作比丘尼。比丘即受。其女姝好，比丘后生染意作不净行，共生活用佛法僧物，各一千万钱用衣食。而此比丘极聪明，能说法使人得四道果。自惟罪深重，便欲偿之。即诣沙佉国乞，大得钱物，还欲偿之。道路山中为七步蛇所螫，比丘知七步当死，六步里便向弟子言 现代汉语译本 ‘至于其他地方，就没有罪过。’ 问：‘佛寺的物品可以用来购买供养的器具吗？’答：‘可以。’ 问：‘用佛寺的物品建造殿堂，或者换成钱，可以出租吗？’答：‘一切佛寺的物品都可以买卖，但不可以出租。’ 问：‘比丘做法事，得到佛寺的奴仆、牛、驴、马，可以借用吗？’答：‘如果知道原本是佛寺的物品，就不可以。如果不知道，就可以，因为是以非法途径得到的。’ 问：‘在僧众的土地上建造佛塔，用佛寺的物品做篱笆，篱笆里面可以居住吗？’答：‘如果明知故犯，就触犯堕罪，如果不知道，就不算犯。如果明知故住，经过三次劝谏仍然不改，就触犯决断罪，超过四次劝谏，就转为触犯更重的罪。’ 问：‘原先的佛堂损坏了，主人另外拿出自己的钱财建造佛堂，用原来的钱财布施给比丘，比丘可以接受吗？’答：‘不可以。’ 问：‘僧众的土地，用佛寺的物品做成围墙，围墙里面原先有井、果树、蔬菜，可以食用吗？’答：‘不可以。如果是施主的东西用来做法事，必须先将果实和蔬菜布施给僧众，才可以食用。如果没有布施，就不可以食用。如果要购买，要付五倍的价格。如果明知没有购买而食用，根据钱财的多少来定罪。’ 问：‘欠了佛寺的物品，应该如何偿还？’答：‘按照原物的价值偿还。因为佛寺的物品不流通，所以不加利息。即使这样，仍然会堕入地狱。过去佛陀涅槃后，有一位比丘精进聪明。有一位婆罗门看到这位比丘精进聪明，就把女儿送给比丘，让她做比丘尼。比丘就接受了。这个女子非常美丽，比丘后来产生了爱欲，做了不清净的行为，共同生活，花费佛法僧的财物，各自用了一千万钱来购买衣食。而这位比丘非常聪明，能够说法使人证得四道果。他自己认为罪孽深重，就想偿还。于是前往沙佉国乞讨，得到了大量的钱财，想要偿还。在道路的山中被七步蛇咬伤，比丘知道被七步蛇咬伤后七步之内就会死亡，在走了六步的时候就对弟子说：

English version 'As for other places, there is no offense.' Question: 'Is it permissible to use property belonging to the Buddha to purchase items for offerings?' Answer: 'It is permissible.' Question: 'Is it permissible to rent out a hall built with property belonging to the Buddha, or the money obtained from it?' Answer: 'All property belonging to the Buddha can be bought and sold, but it cannot be rented out.' Question: 'If a Bhikkhu performs Buddhist rituals and receives slaves, cattle, donkeys, or horses belonging to the Buddha, is it permissible to borrow and use them?' Answer: 'If one knows that they originally belonged to the Buddha, it is not permissible. If one does not know, it is permissible, because they were obtained through unlawful means.' Question: 'If a stupa is built on Sangha land and a fence is made using property belonging to the Buddha, is it permissible to live inside the fence?' Answer: 'If one knowingly enters and dwells there, one commits an offense entailing expulsion (pācittiya); if one does not know, one does not commit an offense. If one knowingly dwells there, after three admonishments without change, one commits an offense entailing expulsion; after four admonishments, the offense becomes more serious.' Question: 'If a former Buddha hall is damaged, and the owner uses their own private wealth to build a new hall, using the old wealth to give alms to the Bhikkhus, is it permissible for the Bhikkhus to accept it?' Answer: 'It is not permissible.' Question: 'If Sangha land is used, and property belonging to the Buddha is used to make a surrounding fence, and there are wells, fruits, and vegetables inside the fence, is it permissible to eat them?' Answer: 'It is not permissible. If the property of a donor is used for Buddhist rituals, the fruits and vegetables must first be offered to the Sangha before they can be eaten. If they are not offered, they cannot be eaten. If they are to be bought, they must be bought at five times the price. If one knowingly eats them without buying them, the offense is determined by the amount of money involved.' Question: 'If one owes property to the Buddha, how should it be repaid?' Answer: 'Repay the value of the original property. Because the Buddha's property does not circulate, no interest is added. Even so, one will still fall into hell. In the past, after the Buddha's Nirvana, there was a diligent and intelligent Bhikkhu. A Brahmin saw that this Bhikkhu was diligent and intelligent, so he gave his daughter to the Bhikkhu to become a Bhikkhuni. The Bhikkhu accepted her. The woman was beautiful, and the Bhikkhu later developed lust and engaged in impure conduct, living together and using the property of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, each spending ten million coins on clothing and food. This Bhikkhu was extremely intelligent and could preach the Dharma, enabling people to attain the four stages of enlightenment. He realized that his sins were grave and wanted to repay them. So he went to the country of Sakha to beg and obtained a large amount of money and property, intending to repay his debt. On the road in the mountains, he was bitten by a seven-step snake. The Bhikkhu knew that he would die within seven steps of being bitten by the seven-step snake, and after taking six steps, he said to his disciples:' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

：‘何处偿物？’遣还本国言：‘汝偿物已还，我住此待汝。’弟子偿物讫还报之，即起七步便死，堕阿鼻地狱中。初入温暖未至大热，谓是温室，便举大声经呗咒愿。狱中诸罪人鬼，闻经呗者数千人得度。狱卒大瞋，便举铁叉打之。即命终，生三十三天。以此验之，佛法僧物不可不偿。虽复受罪，故得时出矣。” 问：“佛塔上扫得土，弃之有罪不？”答：“得弃，不得余用。” 问：“佛物出与人，取子息用，犯罪不？”答：“与佛物同，体俱犯重。出入合子与佛，由故无福，以坏法身而为形故。” 问：“佛图主遣佛奴小儿给比丘，可使不？”答：“不得使，以是佛物故。” 问：“比丘要与佛作，得食佛食不？”答：“不得。比丘无客作之理，何况取佛物衣食用耶！” 问：“白衣与佛作，得佛物，用此物作食请僧。僧得食不？”答：“不得食。” 问：“佛事法事得捉金银钱不？”答：“不得捉，犯舍堕罪。” 问：“人施牛驴马奴，造佛事法事。可受不？”答：“得受使用，但不得卖。弓刀军器，一不得受。” 问：“人施佛屋宅，未用，可寄住不？”答：“不得。便是佛物。” 问：“续佛光明，昼可灭不？”答：“不得。若灭犯堕。虽云佛 现代汉语译本：‘在哪里偿还财物？’（债权人）让（欠债人）返回本国说：‘你偿还财物完毕后就回来，我在这里等你。’（欠债人的）弟子偿还财物完毕回来告知（债权人），（债权人）随即走了七步便死了，堕入阿鼻地狱（Avīci hell，八大地狱中最下层，无间地狱）中。刚进入（地狱）时感到温暖，还未到极热之处，（他）以为是温室，便大声诵经呗和咒愿。狱中众多罪人和鬼，听到经呗的数千人都得到了超度。狱卒非常生气，便举起铁叉打他。（他）随即命终，往生到三十三天（Trāyastriṃśa，欲界六天之一）。由此验证，佛法僧（Buddha, Dharma, Sangha，佛教三宝）的财物不可不偿还。即使因此受罪，最终也能及时解脱。 问：‘佛塔上扫下来的土，丢弃掉有罪过吗？’答：‘可以丢弃，但不得作其他用途。’ 问：‘把佛的财物拿出去给人，收取利息使用，犯戒吗？’答：‘与挪用佛的财物性质相同，都犯重罪。本金和利息都应归还给佛，这样做没有福报，因为损坏了佛的法身（Dharmakāya，佛的三身之一，代表真理之身），而只是徒具形式。’ 问：‘佛寺的主事者派遣佛寺的奴仆小孩去侍奉比丘（bhikkhu，出家男众），可以吗？’答：‘不可以，因为他们是佛寺的财物。’ 问：‘比丘（bhikkhu，出家男众）需要为佛寺做事，可以吃佛寺的食物吗？’答：‘不可以。比丘（bhikkhu，出家男众）没有做客工的道理，更何况取用佛寺的衣物和食物呢！’ 问：‘在家居士为佛寺做事，得到佛寺的财物，用这些财物做成食物供养僧人，僧人可以食用吗？’答：‘不可以食用。’ 问：‘佛事法事（Buddhist ceremonies and rituals）可以拿取金银钱财吗？’答：‘不可以拿取，触犯舍堕罪（Nissaggiya Pācittiya，一种戒律）。’ 问：‘有人捐献牛、驴、马、奴仆，用来建造佛事法事（Buddhist ceremonies and rituals），可以接受吗？’答：‘可以接受并使用，但不得变卖。弓箭、刀剑等军用器械，一概不得接受。’ 问：‘有人捐献给佛寺房屋，尚未使用，可以借住吗？’答：‘不可以。那已经是佛寺的财物了。’ 问：‘为了延续佛的光明，白天可以熄灭（灯火）吗？’答：‘不可以。如果熄灭就犯堕罪（Pācittiya，一种戒律）。虽然说佛’
