English version Question: 'If two people observe Vassa (Rain Retreat) together, the younger one sits first, and the older one sits later. The one who sits first has already received the year (age in monastic life), while the latter has not. Within a month, which one should be considered senior?' Answer: 'The one who received the year first is senior, calculated according to the date of receiving the year.' Question: 'During Vassa, if one does not accept the seven-day rule, and temporarily goes slightly out of bounds, is it permissible to continue sitting?' Answer: 'Repentance is required.' Question: 'During Vassa, can one accept the seven-day rule three times due to one circumstance?' Answer: 'Yes, it is permissible.' Question: 'During Vassa, if one does not sit, or if ten to fifteen people want to come and stay together to receive the year, is it permissible to live together and receive the year together?' Answer: 'If they can catch up with the later boundary setting, then it is permissible to set the boundary. If they cannot catch up with the later boundary setting, then it is not permissible. If these people are completely unaware of the rules of sitting, it is permissible to accommodate them. If they knowingly violate the rules, it is not permissible.' Question: 'During Vassa, if one is sitting, and due to matters concerning the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), illness, or various difficulties, is it permissible to move the sitting place?' Answer: 'It is permissible to move the sitting place, but one should inform the Sangha and accept the thirty-nine-day rule. If there is a matter within thirty-nine days, one can leave the boundary. According to the thirty-nine-day rule, one can return after thirty-nine days. If one cannot return, one can also receive the year in that place without offense. If one did not accept the rule at the beginning of the sitting, one can also accept it before leaving. If one has already completed thirty-nine days of sitting, one can leave the boundary if there is a matter, without needing to accept the rule again. If one does not return, one can also receive the year in that place.' Question: 'If one does not establish a boundary for sitting, or does not accept the seven-day rule, but has already received the year, is it permissible?' Answer: 'If one is unaware of the rules and has already received the year, one can obtain Vassa (Rain Retreat), but not Summer retreat. If one wants to obtain Summer retreat, the Sangha should advise once, and it is good to accept. If one does not accept after three advices, one commits the offense of harsh speech and needs to undergo decisive repentance. If one still wants to accept, one should inform the Sangha when accepting, and it is permissible with their approval.' Question: 'What offense does a Bhikkhu (monk) commit if he does not receive the year?' Answer: 'If a Bhikkhu does not receive the year, the Sangha should advise him to receive it. It is good to accept after one to three advices. If he does not accept after three advices, he commits the offense of decisive action. If he does not accept after four advices, he is not a Sramana (ascetic), because he is unwilling to accept the Dharma.' Question: 'During the Summer Retreat, if a newly ordained person establishes the boundary for sitting after midday, can he obtain the year?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”答：“得。唯后夜不得。”

English version Answer: 'It is permissible, except during the latter part of the night.' Question: 'If one forgets to meditate during the summer retreat and does not leave once according to the seven-day rule, can one continue to sit?' Answer: 'If one remembers and repents, it is permissible. One should not have more than two or three repentances in one sitting; if one exceeds two or three repentances, it does not count as a full year.' Question: 'If it rains when receiving the annual observance (Sui Shi), is it permissible to receive it under the eaves?' Answer: 'It is permissible.' Question: 'Having arrived at a certain place to establish the summer retreat, if there is an obstacle preventing arrival, is it permissible to remotely establish the retreat in advance?' Answer: 'It is not permissible. One can only establish the subsequent retreat after arriving there. If there is a monastery on the road, one should stay there, spend two or three days repairing the rooms, and then proceed after observing the thirty-nine days. If there is no monastery, five or more people should jointly establish a boundary (jie jie) for the retreat, and then leave one or two people to guard the boundary. Only after completing thirty-nine days can they leave. If later individuals leave before completing thirty-nine days, the earlier departing individuals do not know if they have lost the retreat qualification, but the later individuals will lose it.' Question: 'Can one to four people establish a retreat at the home of a layperson (bai yi)?' Answer: 'It is not permissible. Five or more people are required.' Question: 'Can one person establish a retreat in a quiet place?' Answer: 'If there is a pre-existing boundary, two or more people are required. One person is not allowed because there is no one to jointly observe the retreat. Without a boundary, it is completely forbidden. If one wishes to have a separate retreat, one should request monks to establish a boundary again, and then one can have the retreat.' Question: 'During the summer retreat, can a Bhikshu (Biqiu) receive offerings from others, or accept items entrusted by others, for a period of ten days to three months? Is this permissible?' Answer: 'If one accepts without greed, there is no time limit.' Question: 'During the summer retreat, if one engages in active affairs within the boundary, can one respond to the retreat?' Answer: 'One can give instructions regarding meritorious deeds, but not for other matters.' Question: 'For those observing the summer retreat, how should damaged dwellings be repaired? Is it at the beginning of the retreat or at the end?' Answer: 'Repair any damage that occurs within the three months.' Question: 'When receiving the annual observance, if a Bhikkhuni (Ni) comes within the boundary seeking to receive the annual observance, should it be granted?'

问：“未满五腊度人，犯何事？其弟子为得戒不？”答：“若知非法而度，犯舍堕。过三谏不止犯决断。若弟子不知是非法，得戒。若知，不得。” 问：“比丘都不诵戒，又不知法种种僧事，而多度人、或作三师。有所犯不？”答：“此人尚不应食人信施，况复度人！” 问：“若人，父母王法不听，比丘盗将去度。犯何事？”答：“犯重。若官人走奴，投比丘为道。比丘若知而安止，未度亦犯重。” 问：“若儿前出家，父母后出家，来投其儿，其儿得度不？”答：“得。” 问：“犯戒比丘得度人不？”答：“若犯重，无复度人之理。若犯决断，同上未满五腊者。若犯余轻戒，要须忏悔，然后得度。” 问：“白衣投一比丘欲出家，比丘即受，更为请和尚戒师。所投比丘故是师非？”答：“非师。若后从受法者，可为法师。若依随者，可为依止师。” 问：“比丘多度弟子、或作二师，都不教戒。犯何事？”答：“犯舍堕。昔迦叶佛时，有比丘度弟子，不教戒，多作非法。命终生龙中。龙法，七日 现代汉语译本 问：‘当时，如果比丘尼独自出界，犯什么重罪？’ 度人事品第六 问：‘一个人可以度沙弥（Śrāmaṇera，意为勤策男，佛教出家男子）吗？’答：‘需要两个人。’ 问：‘度沙弥，可以遥请和尚（Upādhyāya，意为亲教师）吗？’答：‘不可以。’ 问：‘未满五腊（Vassa，意为雨季安居）的比丘度人，犯什么事？他的弟子能得到戒律吗？’答：‘如果明知不合法而度人，犯舍堕（Nissaggiya Pācittiya，一种戒律）。经过三次劝谏仍然不停止，犯决断罪。如果弟子不知道是否合法，可以得戒。如果知道，就不能得戒。’ 问：‘比丘完全不诵戒，又不知道各种僧事，却大量度人，或者担任三师（和尚、羯磨阿阇梨、教授阿阇梨）。有什么罪过吗？’答：‘这种人尚且不应该接受别人的信施供养，更何况度人！’ 问：‘如果有人，父母和王法都不允许他出家，比丘偷偷地带他去度。犯什么事？’答：‘犯重罪。如果是官府逃走的奴隶，投奔比丘想要出家。比丘如果明知而收留，即使没有度，也犯重罪。’ 问：‘如果儿子先出家，父母后来出家，来投奔他的儿子，他的儿子可以度他们吗？’答：‘可以。’ 问：‘犯戒的比丘可以度人吗？’答：‘如果犯了重罪，就没有资格度人。如果犯了决断罪，和上面未满五腊的情况一样。如果犯了其他轻戒，必须先忏悔，然后才能度人。’ 问：‘一个白衣（Śvetāmbara，在家信徒）投靠一个比丘想要出家，比丘就接受了他，又为他请和尚戒师。这个被投靠的比丘，算是他的师父吗？’答：‘不算师父。如果后来跟随他学习佛法，可以算是法师。如果只是依附跟随，可以算是依止师。’ 问：‘比丘大量度弟子，或者担任两个师父的职务，却完全不教导他们戒律。犯什么事？’答：‘犯舍堕。过去迦叶佛（Kāśyapa Buddha）时代，有比丘度了弟子，却不教导他们戒律，做了很多不合法的事情。命终后转生到龙中。龙的寿命，只有七天。’
