English

English version ‘If a Buddha-son deliberately sells good people as slaves, or sells livestock, or trades in coffins, planks, or implements for the dead, he should not do it himself, let alone teach others to do it. If he knowingly does it, he commits a minor offense.’ ‘If a Buddha-son, with an evil mind, groundlessly slanders others—good people, virtuous people, Dharma masters, Sangha members, kings, or nobles—he commits an offense equivalent to the seven rebellious acts and ten major offenses (Seven rebellious acts: killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, disrupting the Sangha; Ten major offenses: the most serious offenses in Buddhist precepts). Towards parents, siblings, and the six kinds of relatives, one should cultivate filial piety and compassion, but if one instead adds to their suffering through rebellious or harmful actions, causing them to fall into undesirable circumstances, he commits a minor offense.’ ‘If a Buddha-son, with an evil mind, deliberately sets large fires to burn mountains, forests, or wilderness areas. From the fourth month to the ninth month, setting fires that burn other people's houses, residences, cities, monasteries, fields, trees, or the property of ghosts and spirits, or government property—anything that has an owner—must not be deliberately burned. If he knowingly burns them, he commits a minor offense.’ ‘If a Buddha-son should teach all Buddha-disciples, non-Buddhists, six kinds of relatives, and all good advisors, one by one, to receive and uphold the Mahayana Sutras and Vinaya (Vinaya: monastic rules), and should teach them to understand the meaning and principles, causing them to generate Bodhicitta (Bodhicitta: the mind of enlightenment), the Ten Faiths, the Ten Sustaining Minds, and the Ten Diamond Minds. Regarding these thirty minds, one should explain the order, methods, and functions of each one. However, if a Bodhisattva, with an evil mind or an angry mind, instead teaches others the Sutras and Vinaya of the Two Vehicles of Sravakas (Two Vehicles of Sravakas: the Hearer Vehicle of Hinayana Buddhism), or non-Buddhist heretical views, he commits a minor offense.’ ‘If a Buddha-son should first learn the Mahayana rules of conduct and Vinaya with a good mind, and widely understand their meaning. Seeing newly learning Bodhisattvas coming from hundreds or thousands of miles to seek the Mahayana Sutras and Vinaya, he should explain to them all the ascetic practices according to the Dharma, such as burning the body, burning the arms, or burning the fingers. If one does not burn the body, arms, or fingers to make offerings to the Buddhas, he is not a renunciate Bodhisattva. Even to hungry tigers, wolves, lions, and all hungry ghosts, one should give up one's body, flesh, hands, and feet to make offerings to them, and then explain the Proper Dharma to them one by one in order, causing their minds to open and understand. However, if a Bodhisattva, for the sake of gain and profit, answers when he should not answer, speaks of the Sutras and Vinaya in a reversed manner, with words that have no beginning or end, or slanders the Three Jewels and the speakers, he commits a minor offense.’ ‘If a Buddha-son, for the sake of his own food, money, profit, or fame, associates with kings, princes, ministers, or officials, relying on their power to beg, demand, beat, or involve others,’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

横取钱物一切求利,名为恶求。多求、教他人求,都无慈心无孝顺心者,犯轻垢罪。   “若佛子!学诵戒者,日夜六时持菩萨戒,解其义理佛性之性。而菩萨不解一句一偈戒律因缘,诈言能解者,即为自欺诳亦欺诳他人。一一不解一切法,而为他人作师授戒者,犯轻垢罪。   “若佛子!以恶心故,见持戒比丘手捉香炉行菩萨行,而斗构两头谤欺贤人无恶不造。若故作者,犯轻垢罪。   “若佛子!以慈心故行放生业,一切男子是我父、一切女人是我母,我生生无不从之受生,故六道众生皆是我父母。而杀而食者,即杀我父母,亦杀我故身。一切地水是我先身,一切火风是我本体,故常行放生。生生受生常住之法,教人放生。若见世人杀畜生时,应方便救护解其苦难,常教化讲说菩萨戒救度众生。若父母兄弟死亡之日,应请法师讲菩萨戒经福资亡者,得见诸佛生人天上。若不尔者,犯轻垢罪。如是十戒,应当学敬心奉持,如灭罪品中广明一一戒相。”   佛言:“佛子!不得以瞋报瞋、以打报打。若杀父母兄弟六亲,不得加报。若国主为他人杀者,亦不得加报。杀生报生不顺孝道。尚不畜奴婢打拍骂辱,日日起三业口罪无量,况故作七逆之罪。而出家菩萨无慈报仇,乃至六亲中故报者,犯轻垢罪。 现代汉语译本: 横取钱物,一切追求利益,这叫做‘恶求’。贪求无厌,教唆他人求取,心中没有慈悲,没有孝顺之心的人,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘如果佛弟子!学习背诵戒律的人,日夜六时持守菩萨戒,理解其中义理和佛性之性。而菩萨不理解一句一偈的戒律因缘,却假装说自己能理解,这就是自欺欺人。一点都不理解一切法,却为他人作师父传授戒律,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘如果佛弟子!因为恶心,看见持戒比丘手拿香炉行菩萨道,就两面挑拨,诽谤贤人,无恶不作。如果明知故犯,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘如果佛弟子!以慈悲心行放生之业,视一切男子为我的父亲,一切女人为我的母亲,我生生世世没有不是从他们那里受生的,所以六道众生都是我的父母。如果杀害并吃掉他们,就是杀害我的父母,也是杀害我过去的身躯。一切地水是我的前身,一切火风是我的本体,所以要常常行放生之事。生生世世受生常住之法,教导他人放生。如果看见世人杀害畜生时,应该想方设法救护,解除他们的苦难,常常教化讲说菩萨戒,救度众生。如果父母兄弟死亡之日,应该请法师讲菩萨戒经,用功德资助亡者,使他们得见诸佛,往生人天。如果不这样做,就犯了轻垢罪。这十条戒律,应当学习,以恭敬心奉持,就像《灭罪品》中详细说明的每一条戒相一样。’ 佛说:‘佛弟子!不得以嗔恨报复嗔恨,以殴打报复殴打。如果父母兄弟六亲被杀,不得加以报复。如果国君为了他人而杀人,也不得加以报复。杀生报复杀生不顺应孝道。尚且不应蓄养奴婢,打骂侮辱,每天造作身口意三业的无量罪过,何况故意造作七逆之罪。而出家的菩萨没有慈悲心去报仇,乃至对六亲中故意报复的,就犯了轻垢罪。’

English version: Greedily taking money and possessions, seeking profit in every way, is called 'evil seeking'. Those who are insatiably greedy, instigate others to seek, and have no compassion or filial piety in their hearts, commit a minor offense. 'If a Buddha-son! Those who study and recite the precepts, uphold the Bodhisattva precepts day and night in the six periods, and understand their meaning and the nature of Buddha-nature. If a Bodhisattva does not understand the causes and conditions of even a single verse of the precepts, but falsely claims to understand, they are deceiving themselves and others. If they do not understand any of the teachings, yet act as a teacher and transmit the precepts to others, they commit a minor offense. 'If a Buddha-son! Due to an evil mind, upon seeing a precept-holding Bhikshu (monk) holding an incense burner and practicing the Bodhisattva path, they sow discord and slander virtuous people, committing all kinds of evil. If they do so intentionally, they commit a minor offense. 'If a Buddha-son! With a compassionate heart, they practice the act of liberating beings. All men are my father, all women are my mother. In all my lives, I have received birth from them, therefore all beings in the six realms are my parents. To kill and eat them is to kill my parents, and also to kill my former body. All earth and water are my former body, all fire and wind are my essence, therefore one should always practice liberating beings. The Dharma of constant abiding through birth after birth, teach others to liberate beings. If one sees people killing animals, one should find ways to rescue them and relieve their suffering, and constantly teach and explain the Bodhisattva precepts to save sentient beings. If on the day of the death of parents or siblings, one should invite Dharma masters to lecture on the Bodhisattva precepts, using the merit to benefit the deceased, so that they may see all the Buddhas and be reborn in the heavens. If one does not do so, one commits a minor offense. These ten precepts should be learned and upheld with reverence, just as the characteristics of each precept are explained in detail in the chapter on eradicating offenses.' The Buddha said: 'Buddha-sons! One must not repay anger with anger, or beating with beating. If parents, siblings, or the six kinds of relatives are killed, one must not retaliate. If the ruler of a country kills someone for another, one must not retaliate either. Killing to avenge killing is not in accordance with filial piety. One should not even keep slaves to beat, scold, or insult, as the countless sins of body, speech, and mind accumulate daily, let alone intentionally commit the seven rebellious acts. A monastic Bodhisattva who lacks compassion and seeks revenge, even intentionally retaliating against their six kinds of relatives, commits a minor offense.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“若佛子!初始出家未有所解,而自恃聪明有智、或恃高贵年宿、或恃大姓高门大解大福饶财七宝,以此憍慢而不咨受先学法师经律。其法师者,或小姓年少、卑门贫穷、诸根不具,而实有德一切经律尽解。而新学菩萨不得观法师种姓,而不来咨受法师第一义谛者,犯轻垢罪。   “若佛子!佛灭度后,欲心好心受菩萨戒时,于佛菩萨形像前自誓受戒,当七日佛前忏悔,得见好相便得戒。若不得好相,应二七三七乃至一年,要得好相。得好相已,便得佛菩萨形像前受戒。若不得好相,虽佛像前受戒,不得戒。若现前先受菩萨戒,法师前受戒时,不须要见好相。何以故?以是法师师师相授故,不须好相。是以法师前受戒即得戒,以生重心故便得戒。若千里内无能授戒师,得佛菩萨形像前受戒,而要见好相。若法师自倚解经律大乘学戒,与国王太子百官以为善友。而新学菩萨来问若经义律义,轻心恶心慢心,不一一好答问者,犯轻垢罪。   “若佛子!有佛经律大乘正法、正见正性正法身,而不能勤学修习而舍七宝,反学邪见二乘外道俗典、阿毗昙杂论书记,是断佛性障道因缘,非行菩萨道。若故作者,犯轻垢罪。   “若佛子!佛灭后,为说法主、为僧房主、教化主、坐禅主、行来主,应生慈心善 现代汉语译本: ‘如果佛弟子!刚刚出家,对佛法还没有理解,就自恃聪明有智慧,或者依仗自己出身高贵、年长,或者依仗自己是大姓高门、有很大的理解力、很大的福报、很多财富和七宝,因此骄傲自满,不向先学的法师请教经律。那些法师,或者出身小姓、年纪小、出身卑微、贫穷、诸根不全,但实际上有德行,对一切经律都完全理解。而新学的菩萨不能因为法师的种姓而轻视,不来向法师请教第一义谛,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘如果佛弟子!在佛陀灭度后,以善良的心愿受菩萨戒时,在佛菩萨的形像前自己发誓受戒,应当在七日内在佛前忏悔,如果见到好的征兆,便可以得到戒。如果没有见到好的征兆,应该十四日、二十一日乃至一年,一定要见到好的征兆。得到好的征兆后,便可以在佛菩萨形像前受戒。如果没有得到好的征兆,即使在佛像前受戒,也得不到戒。如果已经从现前的法师那里受过菩萨戒,再次在法师前受戒时,不需要再见到好的征兆。为什么呢?因为这位法师是师师相授的,不需要好的征兆。因此在法师前受戒就可以得到戒,因为生起了恭敬心,便可以得到戒。如果在千里之内没有能够授戒的法师,可以在佛菩萨形像前受戒,但一定要见到好的征兆。如果法师自己依仗对经律、大乘佛法的理解,与国王、太子、百官结为好友。而新学的菩萨来请教经义、律义,法师以轻慢、厌恶的心态,不一一好好地回答提问者,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘如果佛弟子!拥有佛经、戒律、大乘正法、正见、正性、正法身,却不能勤奋学习修习,反而舍弃七宝,去学习邪见、二乘、外道俗典、阿毗昙杂论书籍,这是断绝佛性、障碍菩萨道的因缘,不是在行菩萨道。如果明知故犯,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘如果佛弟子!在佛陀灭度后,作为说法的主持者、僧房的主持者、教化的主持者、坐禅的主持者、行脚的主持者,应该生起慈悲心和善意。
