English version: Saving those who are suffering is also like this, and so on. Three, skillful means of differing intentions: It is to match the other person's intentions. If the other person does not act according to the agreement, just like not acting according to the agreed matter. Only for the benefit of the other person, showing anger and rebuke without giving to him, temporarily abandoning him, and ultimately settling him down. Four, skillful means arising from coercion: It is that either the head of the household or acting as a king obtains increasing power, forcing others to cultivate good deeds. Five, skillful means of bestowing kindness and repaying kindness: It is to bestow kindness upon sentient beings according to one's ability, whether little or much, or to relieve difficulties. When they want to repay the kindness, the Bodhisattva at this time exhorts them to cultivate good deeds to receive the repayment of kindness, telling them not to repay with worldly wealth. Six, skillful means of ultimate purity: It is to reach the ultimate, descending from the Tusita Heaven and attaining Buddhahood through the eight aspects. Such skillful means should be learned. The Seventh Precept: Improper Manner of Explaining the Dharma Sutra: If a Buddha-son constantly teaches and transforms, even to the point of speaking the Dharma improperly, he commits a minor offense. Commentary: Respecting people and valuing the Dharma are the sources of supreme goodness. Otherwise, it will give rise to inverted evil dharmas. Here, because nobles are mostly arrogant, it is specifically mentioned. Words, listeners, sitting down, etc., give rise to a desire for admiration. As stated in the *Mahāyānasaṃgraha* (Compendium of the Mahayana): 'If a person's precepts are weak, but he can explain the Dharma and benefit many people, he should be venerated like the World Honored One, accepting the similarity of their good speech.' Also, the *Nirvana Sutra* says: 'Those who know the Dharma, whether old or young, are like the second Deva serving Indra.' The Eighth Precept: Establishing Rules Unlawfully Sutra: If a Buddha-son, with faith, even to the point of creating things that destroy the Dharma, he commits a minor offense. Commentary: If one does not allow evil people to leave home, or does not need to make images and sell them, etc., there should be no offense. All the rest constitute offenses. The Ninth Precept: Self-Destruction of the Inner Dharma Sutra: If a Buddha-son with good intentions, even if he does it intentionally, he commits a minor offense. Commentary: Speaking right and wrong and destroying only exists within the Buddhist family. It is not something that external paths, etc., can do. As the *Lotus Face Sutra* says: The Buddha told Ananda, for example, when a lion dies, whether in the air, on the ground, in the water, or on land, all sentient beings dare not eat the lion's flesh. Only the insects born from the lion itself eat the lion's flesh. Ananda, my Buddha-dharma cannot be destroyed by other external paths, it is in my Dharma --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: O, Bhikshus (monks), this is the Buddhadharma (Buddha's teachings) that I, Śākyamuni (释迦牟尼), have accumulated through diligent and arduous practice over three great asaṃkhya-kalpas (阿僧祇劫, countless eons). Sutra: Thus, with utmost sincerity, one should accept and uphold these nine precepts with joy and reverence. Commentary: The three meanings of the minor precepts. From here onwards is the third section, concluding and exhorting practice. Sutra: At that time, Śākyamuni Buddha (释迦牟尼佛) spoke in the chapter on the Seven Practices. Commentary: This sutra, from beginning to end, is divided into three sections at the beginning of the scroll. This is the third section, the dissemination section. The meaning of this passage is that when one Śākyamuni (释迦牟尼) practices the Bodhisattva path, the other Śākyamunis (释迦牟尼) do the same. It should be known that, starting from Maheśvara (摩醯首羅, Great Lord of the World) and others, it speaks of the ten world-seas, etc., these places are as mentioned at the beginning of the scroll. Speaking of the 'heart treasury' etc., it is said that the 'heart treasury' refers to the Three Sages (stages of Bodhisattva practice). 'Earth treasury' refers to the lands of the Ten Saints. 'Precept treasury' refers to the ten major and forty-eight minor precepts. 'Measureless practice and vow treasury' refers to the practices and vows possessed by the Three Sages and Ten Saints mentioned above. 'Cause' refers to the practice of the three great kalpas. 'Effect' refers to the Four Wisdoms. Buddha-nature is the permanent and pure Dharma-realm. From here onwards is the conclusion, as the text says, it can be understood. Sutra: An enlightened person with strong patience and wisdom can quickly attain Buddhahood.
