1.301

(As in the Sūtra on Requesting the Saṃgha as a Field of Merit, a śrāmaṇera should know five virtues: first, generating the aspiration to leave the household in order to hold and revere the path; second, disfiguring his physical beauty to conform to the robes of the Dharma; third, severing dear relations forever, showing no partiality; fourth, giving up his physical life to honor the path; fifth, aspiring to seek the Mahāyāna in order to liberate others. According to the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, one should explain the ten numbers to him: 1. All sentient beings depend on food and drink; 2. Name-and-form; 3. The perception of pain and itching; 4. The four truths; 5. The five aggregates; 6. The six sense bases; 7. The seven factors of enlightenment; 8. The eightfold noble path; 9. The nine abodes of sentient beings; 10. The ten universal bases. The enumeration of numbers, explanation of marks, antidotes, and revelation of the correct are all spoken of in full as in the Xingshichao.)
