English version The One Hundred and Twenty Chapters of Verses on the Exhaustion of the Dharma, Spoken by the Bhiksu Katyayana, an Emissary of the Buddha (Name of the translator lost, now appended to the Western Jin Dynasty record) The venerable Katyayana (Kātyāyana, a disciple of the Buddha) embodies the path, cultivates the precepts, and protects the law. Seeing those who are rash and violent, he opens the path to the Dharma for them with verses. His heart is constantly filled with sorrow and regret, contemplating sorrowful matters. He is always diligent and zealous, concerned about the future, and feels great fear. The True Dharma (Saddharma, the genuine teachings of the Buddha) is about to perish, and people's lifespans are only a hundred years. The light emitted by the True Dharma will not last long in the world; it will soon disappear. The True Dharma has already been exhausted, and the community of bhiksus (bhiksu, Buddhist monks) is confused. They will abandon the sutras, that is, the teachings spoken by the enlightened one (the Buddha). Instead, they will accept miscellaneous writings, abandoning the teachings spoken by the Buddha. Seeing the shallow sutras of instruction, their hearts are filled with joy. They will often argue with each other, violating the teachings and scriptures. They will slander each other in turn, each being arrogant and looking down on others. Foolish people are difficult to teach, and without wisdom, they are like tree stumps. You have no ability to discern, and you do not study the True Dharma of the Buddha. Abandoning the meaning of the sutras, they instead seek each other's faults. What I have heard and transmitted is unique, without companions. Putting the middling below, and putting the lower in the middle. No longer recognizing the order, their words pursue novelty. Even if the cited places have errors, they instead speak without beginning or end. What is heard and accepted is all superficial and boundless, and the discussions have no clear words. These monks harbor malicious intentions, slandering and defaming their upadhyaya (upadhyaya, teacher). Seeing the venerable ones and teachers, they are arrogant and disrespectful. These people argue and quarrel with each other, feeling very distressed in their hearts. They are greedy for the world, admiring wealth and honor, falling into bondage without awakening. I have awakened to the profound truth; you truly know nothing. What you speak is very upside down and wrong; my words accord with the meaning of the scriptures. They argue with each other, using it to generate malicious and harmful intentions. Greedy for gain and offerings, they sink and float along with the world. Accustomed to living comfortably in houses, they are unable to extricate and liberate themselves. They always talk about greed, only saying...

English version Worldly Affairs At that time, the various Bhikshus (bǐ qiū, Buddhist monks) dwelt in the forests and secluded places, traveling between villages, establishing monasteries between two villages. They delighted in commotion and did not yearn for tranquility, encroaching upon and deceiving each other, in order to support their wives and children. Sometimes when a Bhikshu (bǐ qiū, Buddhist monks) came from afar, the master of the monastery would first settle himself in, and only when he was free would he listen to the visiting Bhikshu's (bǐ qiū, Buddhist monks) requests. They were jealous of others' dwelling places, jealous of others' virtues and reputations, also jealous of others' families and surnames, and also jealous of others' desire to study the Dharma scriptures. Seeing a Bhikshu (bǐ qiū, Buddhist monks) from afar with an unhappy countenance, they would feel relieved when he left. They were greedy for offerings, using them to breed poisonous jealousy, maintaining a dignified facade, and being arrogant towards each other, thus giving rise to anger and faults. They constantly thought of anger and evil, being arrogant and self-important, their desires never satisfied, indulging their minds and pursuing worldly defilements. They should not engage in poisonous deeds, unwilling to recite and receive the scriptures, laughing, singing, and dancing all day long, falling asleep late at night and unable to wake up. When these people gathered together, their words did not concern the principles of the Dharma, but only spoke of county officials, thieves, and worldly affairs. If someone studied the Dharma and was supported by the people, those who envied him would want to renounce the world, saying they wanted to study the Bhikshu's (bǐ qiū, Buddhist monks) precepts. If someone studied the Dharma and was revered by laypeople, they would devote themselves to trivial matters, thus gaining fame. Their actions were not in accordance with the Buddha's teachings, everything arising from profit and offerings, and at a young age, they would accumulate many disciples. Their hearts were filled with strife and confusion, unable to thoroughly study the Dharma, and after two or three years of being a Shramana (shā mén, a wandering ascetic or religious mendicant), they would extensively accumulate dependents. Unable to carefully observe the precepts, they would fall into wrong views. Some would say that everything is annihilated, while others would say that the soul exists, having already settled in such wrong views, falling into evil paths, and shaving their beards and hair. Their disciples were mostly base and lowly, surrounded by young people. Sometimes there was severe drought, and sometimes there was great flood, with disasters such as sparrows, rats, and locusts all arriving together. The five grains were universally exhausted, and the people were all hungry and destitute, and in order to barely make a living, they would renounce the world to seek peace and stability. Thus, they would become Shramanas (shā mén, a wandering ascetic or religious mendicant), not taming themselves, exceeding the norm, and not understanding the precepts.
