(A) Asta-Pravacana-Mata – Eight Mother Precepts 八大规则

Iriyabhasesana’dane, uccare samii iya.

Managutti vayagutti, kayagutti ya atthama. (384)

Vigilance in walk, speech, begging alms, receiving and keeping down of things and excreting are five Samitis (acts of carefulnes): control of mind, control of speech and control of body (i.e. actions) are three guptis. All are eight in number. (384)

谨慎个行走、讲话、乞求布施、接受或保存物品以及排泄係五种谨慎个行为;对思
想个控制、对言语个控制以及对行为个控制係三大自律,总计係八种。

Edao attha pavayanamadao nanadamsanacarittam.

Rakkhamti sada munino, mada puttam va payadao. (385)

These eight are called pravacanamata (mother precepts). Just as a diligent mother protects her son, so they protect right knowledge, right faith and right conduct of the monk. (385)

咧八条称为八大规则。咧就似勤勉个母亲保护自己个仔一样,佢地保护僧侣们正确
个知识、正确个信仰同正确个行为。

Eyao pamca samiio, caranassa ya pavattane.

Gutti niyattane vutta, asubhatthesu savvaso. (386)

The five types of vigilances are meant for the practice of religious life and the three controls (guptis) for the prevention of every thing sinful. (386)

五大谨慎意味住遵守宗教个要求生活,但係三大控制意味住防止罪恶个事情。

Jaha guttassiriyai, na homti dosa taheva samiyassa.

Guttitthiya ppamayam, rumbhai samu sacetthassa. (387)

Just as one who practises the gupti is not touched by defects pertaining to Samiti so also one who practises the samiti; does not have the defects of gupti. Certainly a gupti puts an act of negligence on the part of one who is undertaking an activity, to an end. (387)

就似一个自律个人唔会受到受到谨慎行为个影响,反过来亦都係一样。谨慎个行为
能够结束一个人个疏忽大意。

Maradu va jiyadu va jivo, ayadacarassa nicchida himsa.

Payadassa natthi bandho, himsamettena samidisu. (388)

The person who is careless in his activities is certainly guilty of violence irrespective of whether a living being remains alive or dies; on the other hand, th4e person who is careful in observing the samitis experiences no karmic bondage simply because some killing has not taken place in connection with his activities. (388)

一个行为上唔谨慎个人肯定会唔顾及生物个死活但係係行为上出现暴力;另一方面,
一个谨慎咁遵循samitis个人就唔会受到因果报应个限制,因为佢个行为唔会造成杀
生。

Ahacca himsa samitassa ja tu, sa davvato hoti na bhavato u.

Bhavena himsa tu asamjatassa, je va vi satte na sada vadheti.

Sampatti tasseva jada bhavijja, sa davvahimsa khalu bhavato ya.

Ajjhatthasuddhassa jada na hojja, vadhena jogo duhato va’himsa. (389 & 390)

A monk who is observing the Samitis i.e. vigilant about his activities may commit himsa (injury) through oversight; in such a case, there is only external violence (Dravya-Himsa) and not the internal. On the other hand a negligent person is guilty of the internal violence (Bhava-Himsa) even though no external violence is caused by him by killing being. When an injury is caused through negligence of a person, whether he is ascetic or not there will be both types of violence external (physical) as well as internal (mental). A monk firm in his observance of the samitis will not cause nay violence because of the purity of his soul; there will be neither external violence nor internal violence. (389 & 390)

一个遵守Samitis个僧侣会因为疏忽但係导致伤害,係咧种情况下,咧只係外部个暴
力但係唔係内心个暴力。係另一方面,一个疏忽个人尽管可能唔会造成外部个暴力,
佢内心却係暴力嘅。当一个人由于疏忽但係造成对人地个伤害个时候,无论佢是否
禁欲,佢都有外部个同内心个伤害。一个遵守Samitis个僧侣由于佢内心个纯洁,唔
会造成任何内部同外部个暴力。

Uccaliyammi pae, Iriyasamiyassa niggamanatthae.

Abadhejja kulimgi, marijja tam jogamasajja.

Na hi tagghadanimitto, bandho suhumo vi desio samae.

Muccha pariggaho tti ya, ajjhappa pamanado bhanido.(391 & 392)

If a tiny living creature is accidentally crushed under the foot of a monk who is careful in respect of his movement, the scriptures state that he will not attract even the slightest of karmac bondage (i.e. he is not responsible for that violence). Just as possessiveness consists in a sese of attachment so the violence consists in the intention of killing. (391 & 392)

如果僧侣无意中踩死着细小个生物,根据典籍,佢唔会受到因果报应个束缚,因为
佢唔需要为咧个暴力负责。就似占有欲存在于爱恋中一样,暴力存在于有意个杀戮。

Pauminipattam va jaha, udayena na lippadi sinehagunajutta.

Taha samidihim na lippai, sadhu kaesu iriyamto. (393)

Just as a lotus-leaf possessing the property of smoothness in not touched by water; similarly a monk practising samitis is not touched by karmic bondage in the course of moving around in the midst of living beings. (393)

就似莲花叶子表面光滑但係且唔会沾水一样,一个遵守samitis个僧侣係生物中移动
时,唔会因为杀生受到因果报应个束缚。

Jayana u dhammajanani, jayana dhammassa palani ceva.

Tavvuddhikari jayana, egamtasuhavaha jayana. (394)

Carefulness (Yatana) is the mother of religion; it is also the protector of religion; it helps the growth of religion and it begets perfect happiness. (394)

谨慎係宗教个母亲,佢同样亦都係宗教个守护神;佢使宗教成长并带来无尽个快乐。

Jayam care jayam citthe, jayamase jayam sae.

Jayam bhumjamto bhasamto, pavam kammam na bandhai. (395)

A monk who moves cautiously, stands cautiously, sits cautiously, sleeps cautiously, eats cautiously and speaks cautiously would not be bounded by the evil karmas. (395)

缚。

小个生物。

Imdiyatthe vivajjitta, sajjhayam ceva pamcaha.

Tammutti tappurakkare, uvautte iriyam rie. (397)

Not paying attention to the objects of sensuous enjoyment and not taking up the study of five types, one should walk cautiously absorbing oneself in the task of walking and giving all out prominence to the task of walking. (397)

先要开始苦行。

Note:- The five-fold methods of study are: Reading of sacred texts (vacana), questioning the teacher (prcchana), revision by re-reading (paravartana), pondering over what has already been studied and learnt (anupreksa) and reading illustrative strories (dharmakatha).

备注:五种学习方式为:阅读典籍,向上师提问,反复阅读,对已经学习过嘅进行
沉思,阅 读有启发意义个故事。

Tahevuccavaya pana, bhattatthae samagaya.

Tam ujjuam na gacchijja, jayameva parakkame. (398)

Similarly, one ought not to walk on straight within the midst of such livintg beings of all sorts as have gathered together (on the wayside) with a view to feeding themselves: this is how one ought to move cautiously. (398)

同样嘅,一个人亦都唔应当係微小生物聚集个地方径直穿过,应当跟路边行过,咧
就係人为乜要谨慎行路个原因。

Emee samana mutta, je loe samti sahuno.

Vihamgama va pupphesu, danabhattesaneraya. (407 & 408)
