四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.454

3.454

《五分》：應遣三尼，來僧中自恣。《中含》：八尊師法中，若比丘聽尼問經律毘曇，然後得問；不聽者，犯第五尊師法。《僧祇》：尼入僧寺，應頭面一一禮比丘足；若老病不堪，隨力多少；不遍者，總禮，口云：「我尼某甲，頭面禮一切僧足。」若比丘入尼寺，尼禮亦爾。不得云：是犯戒、是醫師、是摩呵羅、無所知，及虛實罪。比丘得說尼實罪。尼若憍慢，不敬起迎禮足者，越敬法。《十誦》：見大僧不起者，墮。《五分》亦爾。

The Pañcavargika-vinaya states: Three bhikṣuṇīs should be dispatched to come before the saṃgha for pravāraṇā. The Madhyama-āgama states: In the eight gurudharmas, only if a bhikṣu permits a bhikṣuṇī to ask about the sutras, vinaya, and abhidharma may she then ask; if he does not permit it, she violates the fifth gurudharma. The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: When a bhikṣuṇī enters a monastery of monks, she should bow her head and face to salute the feet of each bhikṣu one by one; if old and sick and unable to bear it, she does so according to her strength; if not all are reached, she bows collectively, stating orally: "I, the bhikṣuṇī so-and-so, bow my head and face to salute the feet of the entire saṃgha." If a bhikṣu enters a nunnery, the bhikṣuṇī's salutation is also like this. She must not say: "This one has violated the precepts; this one is a physician; this one is a mahallaka who knows nothing," nor speak of false or true offenses. A bhikṣu is permitted to speak of a bhikṣuṇī's true offenses. If a bhikṣuṇī, through arrogance, does not respectfully rise to greet and salute his feet, she transgresses the dharmas of respect. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: Seeing a great monk and not rising is a pāyattika. The Pañcavargika-vinaya is also like this.
