五分比丘尼戒本 1.3

1.3

「合十指爪掌，供養釋師子，
我今欲說戒，僧當一心聽。
乃至小罪中，心應大怖畏，
有罪一心悔，後更莫復犯。
心馬馳惡道，放逸難禁制，
佛說切戒行，亦如利轡勒。
佛口說教誡，善者能信受，
是人馬調順，能破煩惱軍。
若不受教勅，亦不愛樂戒，
是人馬不調，沒在煩惱軍。
若人守護戒，如犛牛愛尾，
繫心不放逸，亦如猴著鎖。
日夜常精進，求實智慧故，
是人佛法中，能得清淨命。」

"Joining the ten fingernails of our palms, we make offerings to the Lion of the Śākyas.
I now wish to recite the śīla; the saṅgha should listen single-mindedly.
Even toward minor offenses, in mind one should have great fear.
Where there is an offense, single-mindedly confess it, and never commit it again hereafter.
The mind-horse gallops along evil paths; pramāda is hard to restrain.
The Buddha declared the keen practice of śīla to be like sharp reins and a bridle.
When the Buddha's mouth preaches admonitions, the good can faithfully accept them;
Such a person's horse is well-tamed, able to defeat the army of kleśas.
If one does not accept instructions and does not delight in the śīla,
Such a person's horse is untamed, sinking into the army of kleśas.
If a person guards the śīla as a yak cherishes its tail,
Binding the mind without pramāda, like a monkey wearing a chain,
Constantly diligent day and night for the sake of seeking true wisdom,
Such a person within the Buddha's Dharma is able to attain a pure life."
