四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.198

2.198

Precept twenty-one: instructing bhikṣuṇīs without authorization. There are four conditions: first, not being designated by the saṃgha; second, assembling the community of bhikṣuṇīs; third, expounding the Dharma and delivering admonitions; fourth, the offense being incurred upon completing the speech. In the Vinaya, expounding the Dharma or the eight gurudharmas without saṃgha designation are both pāyattikas; on an improper day, it is a duṣkṛta. The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: 'The three days before (the three days following the fifteenth day on which the sūtra and precepts are recited) and the two days after (the two days before the upoṣadha day)—to go on these days is called an improper day.' Furthermore, ten virtues must be possessed, and personal conduct must also be distributed; now, only an abridged method is given, as in the Pruned and Supplemented Karman.
