English version: 'Ultimately, one should not listen to pleasant sounds with a mind that has broken precepts.' 'Again, make this vow: 'I would rather have my nose cut off by hundreds and thousands of blades than greedily smell various fragrances with a mind that has broken precepts.' 'Again, make this vow: 'I would rather have my tongue cut off by hundreds and thousands of blades than eat the various delicious and pure foods offered by people with a mind that has broken precepts.' 'Again, make this vow: 'I would rather have my body chopped and hacked by sharp axes than be attached to pleasant tactile sensations with a mind that has broken precepts.' 'Again, make this vow: 'May all sentient beings attain Buddhahood.' If a Bodhisattva does not make this vow, they commit a minor offense. 'If a Buddha's disciple! One should regularly practice dhūta (ascetic practices) at two times, engage in meditation during winter and summer, and observe vassāvāsa (the rainy season retreat). One should regularly use a tooth-cleaning twig, cleansing powder, the three robes (tricīvara), an alms bowl (pattra), a sitting cloth (niṣīdana), a khakkhara (staff), a dhūpadānī (incense burner), an udakacchādanā (water filter bag), a hand towel (hatthapuñcana), a small knife (churikā), an aggi-cakmakā (fire striker), tweezers (saṃdāsikā), a rajju-mañca (rope bed), the sūtra-vinaya (scriptures and precepts), a buddha-pratimā (Buddha image), and a bodhisattva-pratimā (Bodhisattva image). When a Bodhisattva practices dhūta and travels, walking hundreds or thousands of miles, these eighteen items should always accompany them. The times for dhūta practice are from the fifteenth day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the third month, and from the fifteenth day of the eighth month to the fifteenth day of the tenth month. During these two periods, these eighteen items should always accompany them, like the two wings of a bird. On uposatha (observance day), newly learning Bodhisattvas should observe uposatha every half month, reciting the ten major and forty-eight minor precepts. At this time, in front of the images of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, if one person observes uposatha, then one person recites. If there are two, three, or even hundreds or thousands of people, still only one person recites. The reciter sits on a high seat, and the listeners sit below. Each wears a nine-striped, seven-striped, or five-striped kāṣāya (robe). The vassāvāsa should be conducted according to the Dharma. During dhūta practice, one should not enter dangerous places, such as countries in distress, places with evil rulers, uneven terrain, dense vegetation, places with lions, tigers, wolves, water, fire, wind disasters, or places with robbers and poisonous snakes. All dangerous places should not be entered. During dhūta practice and even during the summer retreat, these dangerous places should not be entered. If one deliberately enters them, one commits a minor offense. 'If a Buddha's disciple! One should sit in accordance with the Dharma and in order. Those who have received the precepts earlier should sit in front.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

,后受戒者在后坐,不问老少、比丘比丘尼、贵人、国王王子乃至黄门奴婢,皆应先受戒者在前坐,后受戒者次第而坐。莫如外道痴人,若老若少无前无后,坐无次第兵奴之法。我佛法中先者先坐、后者后坐。而菩萨不次第坐者,犯轻垢罪。 “若佛子!常应教化一切众生。建立僧房山林园田立作佛塔,冬夏安居坐禅处所,一切行道处皆应立之。而菩萨应为一切众生讲说大乘经律,若疾病国难贼难、父母兄弟和上阿阇梨亡灭之日,及三七日乃至七七日,亦应读诵讲说大乘经律,斋会求福行来治生。大火所烧、大水所㵱、黑风所吹船舫、江河大海罗刹之难,亦应读诵讲说此经律。乃至一切罪报三报七逆八难,杻械枷锁系缚其身,多淫多瞋多愚痴多疾病,皆应读诵讲说此经律。而新学菩萨若不尔者,犯轻垢罪。如是九戒,应当学,敬心奉持。梵坛品当说。” 佛言:“佛子!与人受戒时,不得蕑择。一切国王王子大臣百官、比丘比丘尼、信男信女淫男淫女、十八梵天、六欲天子、无根二根、黄门奴婢、一切鬼神尽得受戒。应教身所著袈裟,皆使坏色与道相应,皆染使青黄赤黑紫色一切染衣,乃至卧具尽以坏色,身所著衣一切染色。若一切国土中国人所著衣服,比丘皆应与其俗服有异。若欲受戒时,师应问言: 现代汉语译本:后受戒的人坐在后面,不论年老年少、比丘(bhiksu,男性出家众)比丘尼(bhiksuni,女性出家众)、达官贵人、国王王子乃至太监奴婢,都应该先受戒的人坐在前面,后受戒的人按顺序坐下。不要像外道愚痴之人那样,不论年老年少没有先后顺序,坐没有次序如同兵卒奴隶一样。我佛法中先受戒的先坐,后受戒的后坐。而菩萨不按次序坐,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘佛子!应当经常教化一切众生,建立僧房、山林园田,建造佛塔,设立冬夏安居坐禅的场所,一切修道的场所都应当建立。菩萨应当为一切众生讲说大乘经律,遇到疾病、国家灾难、盗贼侵扰、父母兄弟和尚阿阇梨(acarya,导师)去世的日子,以及三七日乃至七七日,也应当读诵讲说大乘经律,举办斋会祈求福报,出行经商谋生。遇到大火焚烧、大水淹没、黑风吹袭船只、江河大海罗刹(raksasa,恶鬼)的灾难,也应当读诵讲说此经律。乃至一切罪报、三报、七逆、八难,被绳索枷锁捆绑身体,多淫欲、多嗔恨、多愚痴、多疾病,都应当读诵讲说此经律。如果新学菩萨不这样做,就犯了轻垢罪。这九戒,应当学习,以恭敬心奉持。《梵坛品》中会详细说明。’ 佛说:‘佛子!给人授戒时,不得选择对象。一切国王王子大臣百官、比丘比丘尼、信男信女、淫男**、十八梵天(brahmaloka,色界天)、六欲天子(kamavacara,欲界天)、无根二根、太监奴婢、一切鬼神都可以受戒。应当教导他们身上所穿的袈裟(kasaya,僧侣的法衣),都要使其颜色不正,与道相应,都染成青黄赤黑紫色等不正的颜色,乃至卧具都要用不正的颜色,身上所穿的衣服都要染成不正的颜色。如果一切国土中国人所穿的衣服,比丘都应当使他们的俗服有所不同。如果想要受戒时,师父应当问:’

English version: Those who receive the precepts later should sit behind. Regardless of age, whether they are bhiksus (male monastics), bhiksunis (female monastics), nobles, kings, princes, or even eunuchs and slaves, those who received the precepts earlier should sit in front, and those who received the precepts later should sit in order. Do not be like the foolish heretics who, regardless of age, have no order of precedence, sitting without order like soldiers and slaves. In my Buddha-dharma, those who received the precepts earlier sit first, and those who received the precepts later sit last. If a Bodhisattva does not sit in order, they commit a minor offense. ‘O Buddha-son! You should always teach and transform all sentient beings. Establish monasteries, forests, gardens, and fields. Build Buddha-stupas. Establish places for winter and summer retreats for seated meditation, and all places for practicing the Way should be established. Bodhisattvas should expound the Mahayana sutras and Vinaya for all sentient beings. In times of illness, national disasters, banditry, on the days of the passing of parents, siblings, Upadhyayas (ordaining teacher), and Acaryas (acarya, teacher), and during the three seven-day periods or even the seven seven-day periods, you should also recite and expound the Mahayana sutras and Vinaya, hold vegetarian feasts to seek blessings, travel for business, and make a living. In times of great fires, great floods, black winds blowing ships, and the dangers of rakshasas (raksasa, demons) in rivers, seas, and oceans, you should also recite and expound this sutra and Vinaya. Even in all cases of karmic retribution, the three retributions, the seven rebellious acts, the eight difficulties, being bound by ropes, shackles, and fetters, being excessively lustful, excessively angry, excessively ignorant, and excessively ill, you should all recite and expound this sutra and Vinaya. If a newly learning Bodhisattva does not do so, they commit a minor offense. These nine precepts should be learned and upheld with reverence. The Brahma-altar chapter will explain this in detail.’ The Buddha said: ‘O Buddha-son! When giving precepts to others, you must not be selective. All kings, princes, ministers, officials, bhiksus, bhiksunis, believing men and women, lewd men **, the eighteen Brahma heavens (brahmaloka, form realm heavens), the six desire realm devas (kamavacara, desire realm heavens), those without roots or with two roots, eunuchs, slaves, and all ghosts and spirits can receive the precepts. You should teach them that the kasaya (kasaya, monastic robe) they wear should all be of impure colors, in accordance with the Way, and should all be dyed in impure colors such as blue, yellow, red, black, and purple. Even bedding should be of impure colors, and all clothing worn on the body should be dyed in impure colors. If the clothing worn by people in all countries, including China, is different from the lay clothes of bhiksus, they should be made different. If someone wants to receive the precepts, the teacher should ask:’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘汝现身不作七逆罪耶?’菩萨法师不得与七逆人现身受戒。七逆者,出佛身血、杀父、杀母、杀和上、杀阿阇梨、破羯磨转法轮僧、杀圣人。若具七遮,即现身不得戒,余一切人尽得受戒。出家人法,不向国王礼拜、不向父母礼拜,六亲不敬、鬼神不礼,但解师语。有百里千里来求法者,而菩萨法师以恶心而不即与授一切众生戒者,犯轻垢罪。 “若佛子!教化人起信心时,菩萨与他人作教诫法师者,见欲受戒人,应教请二师:和上、阿阇梨。二师应问言:‘汝有七遮罪不?’若现身有七遮,师不应与受戒,无七遮者得受。若有犯十戒者,应教忏悔。在佛菩萨形像前,日夜六时诵十重四十八轻戒。若到礼三世千佛得见好相,若一七日二三七日乃至一年,要见好相。好相者,佛来摩顶,见光见华种种异相,便得灭罪。若无好相,虽忏无益。是人现身亦不得戒,而得增受戒。若犯四十八轻戒者,对首忏罪灭,不同七遮。而教诫师于是法中一一好解。若不解大乘经律若轻若重是非之相,不解第一义谛习种性、长养性、不可坏性、道种性、正性,其中多少观行出入十禅支一切行法,一一不得此法中意。而菩萨为利养故、为名闻故,恶求多求贪利弟子,而诈现解一切经律,为供养故,是自欺诈亦欺诈他人。故与人受戒者 现代汉语译本 ‘你现在没有犯七逆罪吗?’菩萨法师不能为犯七逆罪的人当面授戒。七逆罪是指:使佛出血、杀父、杀母、杀和尚(和上,Upadhyaya,亲教师)、杀阿阇梨(Acharya,轨范师)、破坏僧团的羯磨(Karma,业)转法轮、杀圣人。如果具备这七种遮障,就不能当面受戒,其余一切人都可以受戒。出家人的规矩是,不向国王礼拜、不向父母礼拜,对六亲不尊敬、对鬼神不礼敬,只听从师父的话。如果有从百里千里之外来求法的人,而菩萨法师因为心怀恶意而不立即为他们传授一切众生戒,就犯了轻垢罪。 ‘如果佛子!教化他人发起信心的时候,菩萨为他人做教诫法师,见到想要受戒的人,应该教导他请两位师父:和上(Upadhyaya,亲教师)、阿阇梨(Acharya,轨范师)。两位师父应该问:‘你有没有犯七遮罪?’如果现在身犯有七遮罪,师父不应该为他授戒,没有七遮罪的才能受戒。如果有人犯了十戒,应该教他忏悔。在佛菩萨的形像前,日夜六时诵读十重四十八轻戒。如果能礼拜三世千佛,得见好的征相,或者一个七天、两三个七天乃至一年,一定要见到好的征相。好的征相是指,佛来摩顶,见到光、见到花等等各种不同的征相,这样才能灭罪。如果没有好的征相,即使忏悔也没有用。这样的人现在身也不能得戒,只能增加受戒的次数。如果犯了四十八轻戒,通过对首忏悔就能灭罪,这和七遮罪不同。而教诫师要对这些法一一透彻理解。如果不理解大乘经律的轻重是非之相,不理解第一义谛的习种性、长养性、不可坏性、道种性、正性,以及其中多少观行出入十禅支的一切行法,就不能领会这些法的真意。而菩萨为了利益供养、为了名闻利养,用恶劣的心去追求、贪求更多的弟子,却假装通晓一切经律,为了得到供养,这是自欺欺人,也欺骗他人。因此,给他人授戒的人啊!’
