佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事 1.370

1.370

問：「沙彌受大戒，請一比丘為大戒師。而此比丘不知羯磨及受戒法，轉請一人與授。以何者為師？」答：「與戒者為師，是無法非師。授五戒比丘，唯得授婆羅門。於餘者尼授，比丘不得問中間事。問者，犯僧殘。」

Question: "A novice receives the full ordination and invites one monk to be the full ordination master (upādhyāya). But this monk does not know the karmavācanā and the method for conferring the precepts, and in turn invites another person to confer them. Which one is considered the master?" Answer: "The one who confers the precepts is the master; the one who lacks the procedure is not the master. A monk conferring the five precepts may only confer them on a brāhmaṇa. For others, a nun confers them; a monk must not inquire into the intervening matters. If he inquires, he commits a saṅghāvaśeṣa."
