English version: Listen, venerable Sangha (community of monks). The Bhikkhus (monks) of this dwelling, observe the precepts together in the same dwelling. If the Sangha deems it the right time, may the Sangha permit the dissolution of the great boundary (大界, da jie). This is the announcement. Listen, venerable Sangha. The Bhikkhus of this dwelling, observe the precepts together in the same dwelling. Now the great boundary is dissolved. Which of the elders approves of the Sangha observing the precepts together in the same dwelling and dissolving the great boundary, let them remain silent. Whoever disapproves, let them speak. The Sangha has approved observing the precepts together in the same dwelling and the dissolution of the great boundary is completed. The Sangha approves because of silence. Let this matter be carried out accordingly. The Karma (羯磨, jie mo) for dissolving the precept ground (戒场, jie chang) (should be performed within the precept ground, and not remotely from within the great boundary. There is no explicit rule in the Vinaya (律, lv). The old Karma used the method of dissolving the great boundary to dissolve the precept ground, only differing in the terms 'great' and 'small'. Now it is different. The precept ground does not allow the recitation of precepts, so how can it be dissolved by announcement? It should follow the difficult matters, but changing 'establishing' to 'dissolving', the reasoning is clear and the text is smooth. The meaning text says): Listen, venerable Sangha. The Bhikkhus of this dwelling are dissolving the precept ground. If the Sangha deems it the right time, may the Sangha permit the dissolution of the precept ground. This is the announcement. Listen, venerable Sangha. The precept ground of the Bhikkhus of this dwelling. The Sangha is now dissolving the precept ground. Which of the elders approves of the Sangha gathering here to dissolve the precept ground, let them remain silent. Whoever disapproves, let them speak. The Sangha has approved the dissolution of the precept ground here. The Sangha approves because of silence. Let this matter be carried out accordingly. The method of reciting the precepts by two or three people in turn (should say): Two venerable ones, please focus your minds. Today is the fifteenth day of the white month, the Sangha is reciting the precepts. I, Bhikkhu (比丘, bi qiu) so-and-so, am pure. (Repeat three times) The other person replies: 'Yes.' (The other two people also perform the same method. If it is after the fifteenth day, it should be said: 'Fifteenth day of the black month,' or call it according to the actual situation. The recitation of precepts does not ask about the number of people within the boundary, all must ring the bell, prepare the counters, burn incense, scatter flowers, and sprinkle the ground with fragrant water, the same as the usual Sangha affairs, there is no difference.) The one who mentally recites the Sangha precepts (when gathering, remove the first sentence of the counter, the rest of the method is all the same as above). The method of dwelling in peace by counter: Venerable one, please focus your mind. I, Bhikkhu so-and-so, now rely on the Samgharama (僧伽蓝, seng qie lan) of so-and-so (if it is in a layperson's home, it should be said: 'rely on the settlement of so-and-so'), because the dwelling for the three months of the summer retreat is damaged and needs repair (repeat three times), the person in front asks: ' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: ‘Who’s precepts do you uphold?’ (Answer:) ‘Lawyer So-and-so.’ (He should reply:) ‘If there are doubts, you should ask.’ (The younger one should) respectfully uphold it. (If it is after the 17th day of the fourth month up to the 16th day of the fifth month, it should be said:) ‘The last three months of the summer retreat.’ (The rest of the method is the same.) One person contemplates the retreat method in their mind. Only a great virtuous one can contemplate it in their mind, as well as the questions and answers below. Apart from that, the method of facing each other is used. (Whether facing each other or contemplating in the mind, if it is in a layman's house, the reason for repairing damaged houses must be removed; the rest is the same. A Bhikkhu (monk) must not work for a layman; whatever he does, he will incur a Dukkata (misdeed) offense.) Text of the Karma (formal act) for Receiving Days: Venerable Sangha (community of monks), please listen. If the time is right for the Sangha, and the Sangha agrees to listen, Bhikkhu ‘So-and-so’ receives the seven-day rule, fifteen days (if it is one month, it should be said ‘one month day’) outside the boundary, for the sake of being summoned (if it is for the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), healing illnesses, etc., it should be stated according to the matter), and returns here to observe the retreat. I report thus. Venerable Sangha, please listen. Bhikkhu ‘So-and-so’ receives the seven-day rule, fifteen days (if it is one day, it should be said ‘one month day’) outside the boundary, for the sake of being summoned (if it is for the Three Jewels or various reasons such as healing illnesses, it should be stated according to the matter), and returns here to observe the retreat. Which elders agree? The Sangha listens to Bhikkhu ‘So-and-so’ receiving the seven-day rule, fifteen days (one month as appropriate), outside the boundary, for the sake of being summoned (other reasons should be stated accordingly), and returning here to observe the retreat, remain silent. Whoever does not agree, speak up. The Sangha has already agreed to grant Bhikkhu ‘So-and-so’ the seven-day rule, fifteen days (if it is one month, it should be stated accordingly) outside the boundary, for the sake of being summoned (other reasons should be stated accordingly), and the completion of returning here to observe the retreat. The Sangha agrees and remains silent; this matter is thus upheld. Receiving the Seven-Day Rule by Facing Each Other: (This Vinaya (monastic code) has the allowance to receive the seven-day rule, so the Vinaya says, ‘Listening to the allowance to receive the day,’ but there is no method for receiving it. The method of receiving it that has been practiced in ancient and modern times is only the meaning of the words of the Karma that is established, it should be known. If receiving the seven days, one only gets six nights, so the Vinaya says, ‘and also returns on the seventh day.’ The text says:) Venerable one, contemplate in your mind, I, Bhikkhu ‘So-and-so,’ receive the seven-day rule, outside the boundary, for such-and-such a reason, and return here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
