沙彌尼戒經
在後漢錄
沙彌尼初戒：不得殺生。慈愍群生如父母念子，加哀蠕動猶如赤子。何謂不殺？護身口意。身不殺人物蚑行喘息之類，而不手為亦不教人，見殺不食、聞殺不食、疑殺不食、為我殺不食。口不說言當殺、當害、報怨，亦不得言死快、殺快，某肥、某瘦，某肉多好、某肉少也。意亦不念當有所賊殺于某快乎，某畜肥、某瘦。哀諸眾生如己骨髓，如父、如母、如子、如身，等無差特，普等一心常志大乘。是為沙彌尼始學戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得盜竊。一錢以上草葉毛米，不得取也。主不手與不得取。口不言取，心不念取，目不愛色，耳不愛聲，鼻不盜香，舌不偷味，身不貪衣，心不竊欲。六情無著，常立權慧，則曰不盜。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得淫泆。何謂不得？一心清潔，身不淫泆，口不說淫，心不念淫。執己鮮明，如虛空風無所倚著。身不行淫，目不淫視，耳不淫聽，鼻不淫香，口不淫言，心不存欲。觀身四大本無所有，計地、水、火、風，無我、無人、無壽、無命，何所淫泆，何所著乎？志空無相愿。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得兩舌惡言。言語
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 沙彌尼戒經 在後漢錄 沙彌尼初戒：不得殺生。要慈悲憐憫一切眾生，如同父母愛護子女一樣，要憐惜那些蠕動的生物，如同對待嬰兒一樣。什麼是不殺生呢？就是保護好自己的身、口、意。身體上不殺害任何生物，包括昆蟲和所有有呼吸的動物，自己不親手殺，也不教唆別人殺，看見被殺的不吃、聽說是被殺的不吃、懷疑是被殺的不吃、爲了我而殺的不吃。口頭上不說『應當殺』、『應當傷害』、『報仇』之類的話，也不得說『死了好』、『殺了好』，或者議論『某個動物肥』、『某個動物瘦』、『某塊肉多好』、『某塊肉少』。心裡也不要想『如果能殺死某個東西就好了』，或者想『某個牲畜肥』、『某個牲畜瘦』。要愛護一切眾生如同愛護自己的骨髓，如同對待父親、母親、子女、自身一樣，平等對待，沒有差別，一心一意常懷大乘之心。這就是沙彌尼開始學習的戒律。 沙彌尼戒：不得盜竊。即使是一文錢以上的草葉、毛髮、米粒，都不能拿取。主人沒有親手給予的，就不能拿取。口頭上不說要拿取，心裡也不想拿取，眼睛不貪戀美色，耳朵不貪戀美妙的聲音，鼻子不偷聞香味，舌頭不偷嘗美味，身體不貪圖華麗的衣物，心裡不竊取慾望。六根清凈，沒有執著，常懷權巧智慧，這就叫做不盜竊。這就是沙彌尼的戒律。 沙彌尼戒：不得淫慾。什麼是不淫慾呢？就是一心清凈，身體上不淫亂，口頭上不說淫穢的話，心裡也不想淫穢的事情。堅定自己的信念，如同虛空中的風一樣，無所依傍。身體上不行淫，眼睛不淫邪地看，耳朵不淫邪地聽，鼻子不淫邪地聞香，口裡不說淫穢的話，心裡不存淫慾。觀察身體由地、水、火、風四大組成，本來就是空無所有的，計較這些地、水、火、風，其中沒有我、沒有人、沒有壽命、沒有命運，又有什麼可以淫慾的，又有什麼可以執著的呢？要立志于空、無相、無愿。這就是沙彌尼的戒律。 沙彌尼戒：不得兩舌惡言。言語要...
【English Translation】 English version Śrāmaṇerikā-vinaya (沙彌尼戒經, Śrāmaṇerikā-vinaya: Rules for female novices) Recorded in the Later Han Dynasty The first precept for a female novice: Do not kill living beings. Have compassion for all sentient beings, like parents caring for their children, and cherish even the smallest creatures as if they were infants. What does it mean to not kill? It means protecting one's body, speech, and mind. The body should not kill any living thing, including insects and all breathing creatures. Do not kill with your own hands, nor instruct others to kill. Do not eat what you see being killed, hear being killed, suspect being killed, or killed for your sake. The mouth should not say things like 'should kill,' 'should harm,' or 'take revenge.' Nor should you say 'good to be dead,' 'good to kill,' or discuss 'this animal is fat,' 'that animal is thin,' 'this meat is good,' 'that meat is not good.' The mind should not think 'it would be good to kill something,' or 'this livestock is fat,' 'that livestock is thin.' Cherish all beings as if they were your own bone marrow, like your father, mother, children, or yourself, treating them equally without discrimination, and always aspire to the Mahayana (大乘, Mahayana: Great Vehicle) with a single mind. This is the first precept that a female novice learns. The precept for a female novice: Do not steal. Do not take even a blade of grass, a strand of hair, or a grain of rice worth more than one coin. Do not take anything that the owner has not given with their own hand. Do not say you will take it, and do not think of taking it. The eyes should not crave beautiful sights, the ears should not crave beautiful sounds, the nose should not steal fragrances, the tongue should not steal flavors, the body should not crave fine clothing, and the mind should not steal desires. Keep the six senses pure and unattached, and always maintain skillful wisdom. This is called not stealing. This is the precept for a female novice. The precept for a female novice: Do not engage in sexual misconduct. What does it mean to not engage in sexual misconduct? It means having a pure mind, not engaging in sexual acts with the body, not speaking of sexual matters with the mouth, and not thinking of sexual matters with the mind. Hold your own beliefs clearly, like the wind in the empty sky, without attachment. Do not engage in sexual acts with the body, do not look with lustful eyes, do not listen with lustful ears, do not smell with lustful nose, do not speak lustful words with the mouth, and do not harbor lustful desires in the mind. Observe that the body is composed of the four great elements (四大, Four Great Elements: earth, water, fire, wind) and is fundamentally empty. Considering these earth, water, fire, and wind, there is no self, no person, no life, and no destiny. What is there to be lustful about, and what is there to be attached to? Aspire to emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness. This is the precept for a female novice. The precept for a female novice: Do not engage in divisive or harsh speech. Speech should be...
安詳，不見莫言見、不聞莫言聞。見惡不傳、聞惡不宣，惡言直避，常行四等。無有非言，言輒說道。不得論說俗事，不講王者臣吏賊事，常嘆經法菩薩正戒。志於大乘，不為小學，行四等心。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得飲酒。不得嗜酒，不得嘗酒。酒有三十六失，失道、破家、危身、喪命，皆悉由之。牽東引西，持南著北；不能諷經，不敬三尊；輕易師友，不孝父母；心閉意塞，世世愚癡；不值大道，其心無識，故不飲酒。欲離五陰、五欲、五蓋，得五神通，得度五道。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得持香華自熏飾，衣被履縷不得五色，不得以眾寶自瓔珞，不得著錦繡綾羅綺縠。不得綺視，當著粗服，青、黑、木蘭，及泥洹裡衣，低頭而行。欲除六衰，以戒為香。求誦深法以為真寶，三十二相以為瓔珞，得殖眾好以為被服，愿六神通無礙，六度導人。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得坐金銀高床。綺繡錦被，寶綩綖，不得念之。不得教求索好床榻席、五色畫扇、上好㲖拂。不得著臂釧指镮。直信、戒、慚、愧、施、博聞、智慧，一心精專。常求三昧以為床榻，心不動搖；眾慧自然以為坐具，七覺不轉志於道心。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得聽歌舞音樂聲拍手鼓節。不
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 安詳，不看壞的不該看的，不聽壞的不該聽的。看到別人的惡行不傳播，聽到別人的惡行不宣揚，壞話直接避開，經常奉行四種平等心。不說沒有意義的話，說出來的話一定符合正道。不談論世俗瑣事，不講論君王臣子盜賊之事，經常讚歎佛經佛法和菩薩的正戒。立志于大乘佛法，不追求小乘，奉行四種平等心。這就是沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒。
沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒：不得飲酒。不得貪戀飲酒，不得嘗試飲酒。酒有三十六種過失，喪失正道、敗壞家庭、危害身體、喪失性命，都由此而來。說話顛三倒四，拿東邊的說成西邊的，拿南邊的說成北邊的；不能背誦佛經，不尊敬佛、法、僧三寶；輕視師長朋友，不孝順父母；內心封閉，思想閉塞，世世代代愚昧無知；不能遇到正道，內心沒有智慧，所以不飲酒。想要脫離五陰（pañca-skandha）、五欲（pañca kāmaguṇāni）、五蓋（pañca nivaraṇāni），獲得五神通（pañcābhijñā），得到解脫五道輪迴。這就是沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒。
沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒：不得用香和花來裝飾自己，衣服鞋襪不得用五種顏色，不得用各種寶物來裝飾自己，不得穿錦繡綾羅綺縠等華麗的衣物。不得斜眼看人，應當穿粗布衣服，青色、黑色、木蘭色，以及壞色衣，低著頭走路。想要去除六種衰損，以戒律作為香氣。追求背誦深奧的佛法作為真正的珍寶，用三十二相（dvātriṃśat mahāpuruṣa lakṣaṇāni）來作為裝飾，希望廣植善根作為衣被，愿得到六神通（ṣaṭ abhijñā）沒有障礙，用六度（ṣaṭ pāramitā）來引導他人。這就是沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒。
沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒：不得坐金銀高床。綺繡錦被，寶綩綈，不得思念這些。不得教唆別人去尋求好的床榻坐席、五彩繪畫的扇子、上好的拂塵。不得戴臂釧指環。要正直、有信仰、持戒、有慚愧心、樂於佈施、廣聞博學、有智慧，一心精進專一。經常尋求禪定作為床榻，內心不動搖；眾多的智慧自然生起作為坐具，七覺支（sapta bojjhaṅgāḥ）不改變志向，專心於道心。這就是沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒。
沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā）戒：不得聽歌舞音樂，不得拍手打節。
【English Translation】 English version Be peaceful, do not see what should not be seen, do not hear what should not be heard. Do not spread evil deeds that are seen, do not proclaim evil deeds that are heard, directly avoid evil words, and constantly practice the four equalities. Do not speak meaningless words, and always speak in accordance with the Dharma. Do not discuss worldly affairs, do not talk about matters of kings, ministers, or thieves, and constantly praise the scriptures, the Dharma, and the correct precepts of the Bodhisattvas. Aspire to the Mahayana (Great Vehicle), do not pursue the Hinayana (Small Vehicle), and practice the four equalities. This is the Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept.
Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept: Do not drink alcohol. Do not be addicted to alcohol, do not taste alcohol. Alcohol has thirty-six faults, losing the Way, ruining the family, endangering the body, and losing life, all of which come from it. Speaking incoherently, taking east for west, and taking south for north; unable to recite scriptures, disrespecting the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha); belittling teachers and friends, being unfilial to parents; the mind is closed, the thoughts are blocked, and one is foolish in every life; unable to encounter the Great Way, the mind has no knowledge, therefore do not drink alcohol. Desiring to be free from the five skandhas (pañca-skandha), the five desires (pañca kāmaguṇāni), and the five hindrances (pañca nivaraṇāni), to obtain the five supernormal powers (pañcābhijñā), and to be liberated from the five paths of reincarnation. This is the Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept.
Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept: Do not use incense and flowers to adorn oneself, clothing and shoes must not be of five colors, do not adorn oneself with various treasures, do not wear brocade, embroidery, silk, or damask. Do not look askance, and should wear coarse clothing, blue, black, magnolia, and kasaya robes, and walk with your head lowered. Desiring to remove the six decays, take the precepts as fragrance. Seek to recite the profound Dharma as true treasure, use the thirty-two marks (dvātriṃśat mahāpuruṣa lakṣaṇāni) as adornments, hope to plant many good roots as clothing, and vow to obtain the six supernormal powers (ṣaṭ abhijñā) without hindrance, and use the six perfections (ṣaṭ pāramitā) to guide others. This is the Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept.
Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept: Do not sit on high beds of gold and silver. Do not think of embroidered silk quilts and precious cushions. Do not instruct others to seek good beds and seats, fans with five-colored paintings, and excellent dusters. Do not wear armlets or finger rings. Be upright, have faith, keep the precepts, have shame and remorse, be generous, be learned, have wisdom, and be single-minded and diligent. Constantly seek samadhi (meditative absorption) as a bed, with the mind unmoving; numerous wisdoms naturally arise as a seat, the seven factors of enlightenment (sapta bojjhaṅgāḥ) do not change the aspiration, and focus on the mind of the Way. This is the Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept.
Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) precept: Do not listen to singing, dancing, or music, and do not clap hands or beat rhythms.
得自為亦不教人。常自修身，順行正法，不為邪行，一心歸佛，誦經行正以為法樂，不為俗樂。聽經思惟深入大義。自不有疾，不得乘車馬象。當念輕舉、八不思議神通之達，以為車乘，度脫八難。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：不得積聚珍寶。不得手取，不得教人。常自專精，以道為寶，以經為上，以義為妙，解空無相無愿為本。至於三脫，不求貪慾。欲離九惱，住道甚久，無窮無極，無有邊際，亦無所住。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼戒：食不失時。常以時食不得失度，過日中后不得復食，雖有甘美無極之味，終不復食。亦不教人犯，心亦不念。假使無上自然食來，亦不得食也。若長者國王過日中后，亦不服食，終死不犯。常思禪定，一切飲食雖有所食，裁自支命。欲令一切解深達愿，得十種力以為飲食。是為沙彌尼戒也。
沙彌尼已受十戒，原道思純，能行是十事，五百戒自然具足。譬如人頭、手、足、眼、耳、鼻、口、身、意、腹、背不毀，諸根具足，腸、胃、肺、肝、五藏諸節、筋、脈悉具。譬如樹根安隱具足，不枯腐朽，莖節、枝葉、華、實自然弘茂。沙彌尼如是，能備十戒之本，其五百戒皆悉周滿，可逮神通無所不達。譬如好田，種不腐敗，風雨時節，五穀豐熟，人民得治。沙彌尼如
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 不自己積聚財物，也不教別人積聚。經常自我修行，遵循正法，不做邪惡之事，一心歸依佛陀，誦讀佛經，奉行正道，以此為法樂，不追求世俗的快樂。聽聞佛經時，深入思考其中的深奧含義。自己不生病，不乘坐車馬象。應當想著輕身飛行，達到八不思議神通（不可思議的八種神通），以此為車乘，度脫八難（八種苦難）。這是沙彌尼戒。
沙彌尼戒：不得積聚珍寶。不得親手拿取，也不得教唆他人拿取。應當經常專心精進，以道為珍寶，以佛經為至上，以義理為精妙，以理解空性、無相、無愿為根本。達到三脫（三種解脫），不貪求慾望。想要脫離九惱（九種煩惱），安住于道中很久，無窮無盡，沒有邊際，也沒有任何執著。這是沙彌尼戒。
沙彌尼戒：吃飯要守時。經常按時吃飯，不得違背規定，過了中午之後不得再吃東西，即使有極其甘美的食物，也絕對不再吃。也不教唆別人違反，心中也不生起這樣的念頭。即使有無上自然的食物送來，也不得食用。如果長者或國王過了中午之後，也不進食，寧死也不違犯。經常思念禪定，一切飲食即使有所食用，也僅僅是用來維持生命。想要讓一切眾生理解深刻，達到願望，獲得十種力量（佛的十種力量）作為飲食。這是沙彌尼戒。
沙彌尼已經受持了十戒，探求真道，心思純正，能夠奉行這十件事，五百戒自然就具足了。譬如人的頭、手、足、眼、耳、鼻、口、身、意、腹、背沒有殘缺，諸根具足，腸、胃、肺、肝、五臟諸節、筋、脈全部具備。譬如樹的根安穩具足，不枯萎腐朽，莖節、枝葉、花、果自然繁茂。沙彌尼也是這樣，能夠具備十戒的根本，那麼五百戒就全部圓滿，可以獲得神通，無所不能達到。譬如好的田地，種子沒有腐敗，風調雨順，五穀豐收，人民得到治理。沙彌尼也是這樣。
【English Translation】 English version She does not acquire possessions for herself, nor does she teach others to do so. She constantly cultivates herself, follows the right Dharma, does not engage in evil deeds, wholeheartedly takes refuge in the Buddha, recites scriptures, and practices righteousness as the joy of the Dharma, not seeking worldly pleasures. When listening to scriptures, she deeply contemplates their profound meanings. She does not become ill herself and does not ride in carriages, on horses, or elephants. She should contemplate lightness and flight, attaining the eight inconceivable spiritual powers (eight kinds of inconceivable spiritual powers), using them as vehicles to cross over the eight difficulties (eight kinds of suffering). This is the Śrāmaṇerī precepts (female novice precepts).
Śrāmaṇerī precepts: She must not accumulate treasures. She must not take them with her own hands, nor instruct others to do so. She should always be diligent and focused, taking the Path as her treasure, the scriptures as supreme, the meaning as subtle, and understanding emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness as the foundation. Reaching the three liberations (three kinds of liberation), she does not seek greed and desire. Desiring to be free from the nine vexations (nine kinds of vexations), she dwells in the Path for a very long time, without end or limit, without boundaries, and without dwelling anywhere. This is the Śrāmaṇerī precepts.
Śrāmaṇerī precepts: Eating must be at the proper time. She should always eat at the proper time and not exceed the limit. After midday, she must not eat again, even if there is extremely delicious food, she will never eat it again. She also does not instruct others to violate this, nor does she even think about it in her mind. Even if the most supreme natural food comes, she must not eat it. If an elder or a king does not eat after midday, they would rather die than violate this. She constantly contemplates meditation, and even if she eats some food, it is only to sustain her life. She wants to enable all beings to understand deeply, attain their wishes, and obtain the ten powers (ten powers of the Buddha) as food. This is the Śrāmaṇerī precepts.
The Śrāmaṇerī has already received the ten precepts, explores the true path, and her mind is pure. If she can practice these ten things, the five hundred precepts will naturally be complete. For example, if a person's head, hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, body, mind, abdomen, and back are not damaged, and all the faculties are complete, and the intestines, stomach, lungs, liver, five viscera, joints, tendons, and veins are all complete. For example, if the roots of a tree are secure and complete, not withered or decayed, the stems, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits will naturally flourish. The Śrāmaṇerī is like this; if she can possess the foundation of the ten precepts, then the five hundred precepts will all be fulfilled, and she can attain spiritual powers and be able to reach everything. For example, in good fields, the seeds are not rotten, the wind and rain are timely, the five grains are abundant, and the people are well governed. The Śrāmaṇerī is like this.
是能尊十戒，五百戒則為舉矣。譬如國君風化普平，萬民安寧。沙彌尼如是，若能具十戒者，五百之戒自然普備，若父母慈和，子孫、眷屬、奴客、婢使自然率從。
又沙彌尼常尊三寶，敬師和上，過於父母百千萬倍。父母一世，和上度無極無限。念報反覆，不造反逆。常厭穢身，如人閉獄，墮墜溷廁。不貪女身，不燒色慾。如於大火，譬若處賊。心念一切，如父、如母、如子、如身。常慚本行懷態不快，乃獲斯身。當解本無，猶如幻化，無男無女從行得之，本無五道，況男女乎？求大乘者，了一切空如幻、化、夢、影、響、野馬、芭蕉、深山之響，緣對而生，本無所有。信色如影，痛癢如芭蕉，思想如野馬，生死如泡，識如幻，非我。因緣合成，無緣則無，獨來獨去，無一隨者。
欲為道者。權慧為父母；樂法為兄弟；不離深義以為和上；慈、悲、喜、護、諦住正法以為男女；六度無極以為伴黨；神通之慧以為車乘；不違經戒，思惟空義以為屋宅。
又沙彌尼不得獨行。同類為伴，二人若三人。若無沙彌尼，當與清信女俱行。若婢使不得與大沙彌、男子同牀座坐。不妄語。又不得比寺居止。自不疾病，不得數往反。檀越請讀經乃說。不得自用等輩相教，隨年恭順，不得慢恣。轉相導說，若有過失
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：如果能夠尊重沙彌尼的十戒，那麼五百條戒律也就等於全部遵守了。這就好比國君的教化普及而太平，萬民都安居樂業。沙彌尼也是這樣，如果能夠具足十戒，那麼五百條戒律自然就全部具備了。如果父母慈愛和睦，那麼子孫、眷屬、奴僕、婢女自然都會遵從。
此外，沙彌尼要經常尊敬三寶（佛、法、僧），敬重師父和和尚，要超過對父母的百千萬倍。父母只能護佑一生，而和尚的教導卻能使人脫離無邊無際的苦海。要常常想著報答他們的恩德，不要做出違背叛逆的事情。要經常厭惡這個污穢的身體，就像人被關在監獄裡，或者墮落到糞坑廁所里一樣。不要貪戀女人的身體，不要焚燒**。要像面對大火一樣，如同身處賊窩。心裡要想著一切眾生，如同對待父親、母親、兒子、自身一樣。要經常為自己過去的行為感到慚愧，因為過去的行為不好，才獲得了這個身體。應當明白身體的本質是空無，就像幻化出來的一樣，沒有男人也沒有女人，只是隨著行為而產生。本來就沒有五道輪迴，更何況男女之分呢？追求大乘佛法的人，要明白一切都是空性的，如同幻影、變化、夢境、影子、迴響、陽焰、芭蕉、深山的回聲一樣，都是因緣和合而生，本來就什麼都沒有。要相信色相如同影子，痛癢如同芭蕉，思想如同陽焰，生死如同水泡，意識如同幻覺，都不是真實的我。都是因緣聚合而成，沒有因緣就沒有，獨自而來，獨自而去，沒有一樣東西可以跟隨。
想要修道的人，權巧的智慧就是父母；喜愛佛法就是兄弟；不離開甚深的佛法真義就是和尚；慈悲喜捨四無量心、安住于正法就是子女；六度波羅蜜（佈施、持戒、忍辱、精進、禪定、智慧）就是同伴；神通的智慧就是車乘；不違背經書戒律，思維空性的道理就是房屋。
此外，沙彌尼不得獨自出行。應當與同類的沙彌尼結伴，兩人或者三人一起。如果沒有沙彌尼，應當與清信女一起出行。婢女不得與大沙彌、男子同牀而坐。不打妄語。也不得在比丘寺院居住。自己沒有疾病，不得頻繁往返。如果有檀越邀請讀經，才可以去說法。不得自作主張，同輩之間互相教導，要按照年齡大小恭敬順從，不得傲慢放縱。要互相引導勸說，如果有了過失
【English Translation】 English version: If one can respect the ten precepts of a Śrāmaṇerī (female novice), then observing the five hundred precepts is equivalent to observing all of them. It is like a king whose teachings are widespread and bring peace, and all the people live in peace and contentment. The Śrāmaṇerī is the same; if she can fully observe the ten precepts, then the five hundred precepts are naturally fully observed. If parents are kind and harmonious, then their children, relatives, servants, and maids will naturally follow their example.
Furthermore, the Śrāmaṇerī should always respect the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), and revere her teacher and preceptor more than she reveres her parents by a hundred thousand times. Parents can only protect one for a lifetime, while the teachings of the preceptor can liberate one from limitless suffering. One should always think of repaying their kindness and not commit rebellious acts. One should always detest this impure body, as if one were imprisoned or had fallen into a latrine. Do not be greedy for the female body, do not burn **. One should regard it as facing a great fire, as if one were in a den of thieves. In one's mind, one should regard all beings as one's father, mother, son, or oneself. One should always be ashamed of one's past actions, for it is because of those unfavorable actions that one has obtained this body. One should understand that the essence of the body is emptiness, like an illusion; there is neither male nor female, it arises according to one's actions. Originally, there are no five realms of existence, let alone male or female. Those who seek the Mahayana (Great Vehicle) should understand that everything is empty, like illusions, transformations, dreams, shadows, echoes, mirages, banana trees, and echoes in deep mountains; they arise from the combination of causes and conditions, and originally have nothing of their own. Believe that form is like a shadow, pain is like a banana tree, thoughts are like a mirage, birth and death are like bubbles, and consciousness is like an illusion; they are not 'I'. They are formed by the combination of causes and conditions; without causes and conditions, they cease to exist. One comes alone and goes alone, with nothing to accompany one.
Those who wish to cultivate the Way, skillful wisdom is their parents; the joy of the Dharma is their siblings; not departing from the profound meaning is their preceptor; loving-kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity, and abiding in the correct Dharma are their children; the six pāramitās (perfections of giving, morality, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom) are their companions; the wisdom of supernatural powers is their vehicle; not violating the sutras and precepts, and contemplating the meaning of emptiness is their dwelling.
Furthermore, a Śrāmaṇerī should not travel alone. She should travel with companions of the same kind, two or three together. If there are no Śrāmaṇerīs, she should travel with a laywoman of pure faith. Female servants should not sit on the same bed or seat with senior Śrāmaṇeras or men. Do not lie. Also, do not reside in a monastery of monks. If one is not ill, one should not frequently go back and forth. Only when a donor invites one to recite scriptures may one speak. Do not act on one's own authority; those of the same rank should teach each other, and one should be respectful and obedient according to age, and not be arrogant or indulgent. They should guide and advise each other, and if there are faults
，屏處相諫，莫于眾中說。聞善見善乃可宣揚，聞惡見惡不得傳說，唯可白和上，不得語餘人。常自克責，見善思及，見惡自察，悲哀彼人意不及故。
若作沙彌尼求和上者，當得好聰明智慧奉順法者，世世能度人。譬若有船完具牢堅，在所能度至於彼岸。若師不聰明，行不應法，非是大師。持作和上，譬如壞船，乘欲度海中路而沒，既溺眾人，師亦並命，無有遺余。其初持法授人經戒，正則為師。聞大師欲以為和上，本作沙彌尼，不得彼者，遙稱名、禮之以為師，未必面見，心近則近，心遠則遠，身雖相近，心乖不同，相去億里。沙彌尼行路，不得與男子共行同道相隨，不得與男子、沙門比房同寺。各各別異法之大節焉。
沙彌尼戒經一卷
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 私下勸諫，不要在眾人面前說。聽到或看到善行，才可以宣揚；聽到或看到惡行，不得傳播，只能稟告和尚（Upadhyaya，親教師），不得告訴其他人。常常自我反省，見到善行就思考學習，見到惡行就自我檢查，為那些不明事理的人感到悲哀。
如果想找和尚（Upadhyaya，親教師）的沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā，沙彌女），應當找聰明智慧、奉行佛法的人，這樣生生世世都能度化他人。好比有一艘完整堅固的船，能夠載人到達彼岸。如果老師不聰明，行為不符合佛法，就不是好的大師。讓這樣的人做和尚（Upadhyaya，親教師），就像一艘破船，想要渡海卻在中途沉沒，不僅淹死了眾人，老師也一同喪命，沒有幸存者。最初傳授佛法和戒律的人，才是真正的老師。聽說大師想要成為自己的和尚（Upadhyaya，親教師），但原本的沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā，沙彌女）無法得到他的教導，就遙遠地稱念他的名字、禮拜他作為老師。不一定要見面，心近則近，心遠則遠，即使身體相近，如果心意相悖，也如同相隔億里。沙彌尼（Śrāmaṇerikā，沙彌女）行走時，不得與男子同行，不得與男子、沙門（Śrāmaṇa，出家男子）同住一間房或同一座寺廟。這些都是重要的戒律。

【English Translation】 English version: Admonish in private, do not speak in the presence of the crowd. Only when you hear of or see good deeds, may you proclaim them; when you hear of or see evil deeds, you must not spread them, but only report them to the Upadhyaya (preceptor), and not tell others. Constantly reflect on yourself, when you see good deeds, think of learning from them, when you see evil deeds, examine yourself, and feel sorrow for those who do not understand the reasons.
If a Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) seeks an Upadhyaya (preceptor), she should find one who is intelligent, wise, and devoted to the Dharma, so that she can liberate others in every lifetime. It is like having a complete and sturdy ship that can carry people to the other shore. If the teacher is not intelligent and his conduct does not conform to the Dharma, he is not a good master. Having such a person as an Upadhyaya (preceptor) is like a broken ship that sinks in the middle of the sea while trying to cross it, drowning everyone, and the teacher also perishes, with no survivors. The one who initially teaches the Dharma and precepts is the true teacher. Hearing that a great master wants to be her Upadhyaya (preceptor), but the original Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) cannot receive his teachings, she should remotely call his name and pay homage to him as her teacher. It is not necessary to meet in person; if the heart is near, then it is near, if the heart is far, then it is far. Even if the bodies are close, if the minds are discordant, they are as far apart as a billion miles. When a Śrāmaṇerikā (female novice) walks, she must not walk with a man, and must not live in the same room or the same temple with men or Śrāmaṇas (male renunciates). These are the major precepts of the Dharma.
