Fourth, the precept against great false speech. It possesses nine conditions: first, the recipient is a human; second, one conceives of them as a human; third, the matter is false; fourth, one knows oneself that the matter is false; fifth, one has the intent to deceive others; sixth, one speaks of states beyond ordinary humans; seventh, one says oneself has realized them; eighth, the words and phrasing are clear; ninth, the other person understands. The Dharmaguptaka, Daśādhyāya, and Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā state: From attaining the contemplation of the impure on up to the four fruits, if one says "I have attained it," all incur a grave offense. If one manifests physical signs and the other person has no doubt, it is likewise grave; if they doubt, it is a thullaccaya. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: Question: This impurity [contemplation] and the like are proximate, lesser dharmas; why does it incur a grave offense? Answer: It is the initial gate to the deathless; all noble persons enter through it. Furthermore, the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya states: Saying that devas, dragons, ghosts, or spirits come to make offerings to oneself, and the like, likewise incurs a grave offense. It also states: If one intends to speak to this person, but instead speaks to that person, all are grave. The Mātrikā states: Calling oneself a Buddha, a teacher of gods and humans, and the like, is a thullaccaya. The rest is as explained in the Commentary on the Prātimokṣa. Under non-offenses, the Vinaya states: If one knows oneself to have attained the contemplation of the impure, and speaks of it to an agreeable elder bhikṣu; or speaks in jest, or speaks hurriedly, or speaks alone in a secluded place; or intends to speak of this but mistakenly speaks of that—none of these incur a grave offense; however, one incurs a duṣkṛta, because it is not the proper decorum for speech.
