Translation
a1 | ... stand towards the external... according to the rules. If my wish is fulfilled by you, receive the teaching under your care... in Nirvāṇa... In this way, very learned... |
---|---|
a2+ | ... monks, having become wish-fulfillers of Buddha the teacher, establishing the teaching, doing deeds of Buddha-dignity, ... having become refuge and hope. |
a3 | Thus, Buddha the teacher said in a Sūtra: |
a4 | Whoever honors a knowledgeable, very learned monk... ... he antagonizes him... He put me... like... In the Phullena-tune: The life of the teaching... |
a5 | ... having enjoyed... is honor and scorn... Whoever... to manifestly honor me... not... |
a6 | ... says: |
a6+ | ... great... of the very knowledgeable ones... |
a7 | ... the very learned monks... announce... ... the abhidharma, what cause, why now... |
a7+ | He says: |
a8 | ... nuns who break a precept - what is the reason? Buddha the teacher... said to Ānanda in a Sūtra: |
a9 | ... if women would not leave their home... full... the proclaimed law... |
b1 | ... destroyed... for five hundred years for me... |
b1+ | And for (another) five hundred years... remains for a thousand... years... |
b2 | ... regarding the teaching ..., the Buddha spoke thus: |
b2+ | If women would not leave their home, like... five hundred years..., just so... would..., since... five hundred years... |
b4 | ... and his hair was thick. All that... of women... |
b5 | ... they are the announcers. ... and at the beginning they are not under the control of the well-behaving ones ... |
b6 | ... and it is no longer heard. Or if he has reproached the behavior with blame, and through the blame of the behavior... |
b7 | ... he said to Mahākāśyapa: The law of the Buddha is not destroyed by the earthen kind, nor by the watery kind, nor the fiery kind... |
b8 | There, the beings arise who desire evil, evil-doers, with evil laws... |
b9 | They will call law (what is not law), and they will call not law what is law. They will call (Vinaya) what is not ( Vinaya). (They will call not Vinaya) what is Vinaya. |
