大德僧聽！僧差某甲比丘教誡比丘尼。誰諸長老忍僧差某甲比丘教誡比丘尼者默然，誰不忍者說。僧已忍差某甲比丘教誡比丘尼竟。僧忍，默然故，是事如是持。（彼被差者將一比丘為伴，往比丘尼住處。應剋時到，比丘尼亦剋時迎。若比丘剋時不至，突吉羅；尼剋時不迎，亦爾。時教誡師觀眾集已，為說八不可過法及說法。言八不可過者：）雖百歲比丘尼，見新受戒比丘，應起迎逆、禮拜、與敷淨座令坐；如此法應尊重恭敬讚歎，盡形壽不得過。比丘尼不應罵詈比丘呵責，不應誹謗言：破戒、破見、破威儀；如此法應尊重等（如上）。比丘尼不應為比丘作舉、作憶念、作自言，不應遮他覓罪、遮說戒、遮自恣，比丘尼不應呵比丘，比丘應呵比丘尼；如此法應尊重等（如上）。式叉摩那學戒已，從比丘僧乞受大戒；如此法應尊重等（如上）。比丘尼犯僧殘罪，應二部僧中行摩那埵；如此法應尊重等（如上）。比丘尼半月從僧乞教誡；如此法應尊重等（如上）。比丘尼不應在無比丘處夏安居；如此法應尊重等（如上）。比丘尼僧夏安居竟，應往比丘僧中求三事自恣：見、聞、疑；如此法應尊重等。（如上。次為說法，量機開導。）

"May the venerable saṃgha listen! The saṃgha appoints bhikṣu so-and-so to instruct the bhikṣuṇīs. Whichever venerable ones consent to the saṃgha appointing bhikṣu so-and-so to instruct the bhikṣuṇīs, let them remain silent. Whoever does not consent, let him speak. The saṃgha has consented to appoint bhikṣu so-and-so to instruct the bhikṣuṇīs. Because the saṃgha consents and remains silent, so is this matter maintained." (He who has been appointed takes a bhikṣu as a companion and goes to the bhikṣuṇīs' dwelling place. He should arrive at the set time, and the bhikṣuṇīs must also receive him at the set time. If the bhikṣu does not arrive at the set time, it is a duṣkṛta; if the bhikṣuṇīs do not receive him at the set time, it is likewise. Then, the instructing master, having seen that the assembly has gathered, explains to them the eight strict rules and preaches the Dharma. The eight strict rules are: Even a bhikṣuṇī of a hundred years, seeing a newly ordained bhikṣu, should rise to receive him, bow in homage, spread a clean seat, and invite him to sit; such a rule should be respected, revered, and praised, and never exceeded for as long as life lasts. A bhikṣuṇī should not scold or reprimand a bhikṣu, nor slander him saying that he has broken the precepts, broken view, or broken deportment; such a rule should be respected, etc., as above. A bhikṣuṇī should not initiate accusations, cause reminders, or take personal statements against a bhikṣu; she should not obstruct him from investigating offenses, obstruct poṣadha, or obstruct pravāraṇā; a bhikṣuṇī should not reprimand a bhikṣu, but a bhikṣu may reprimand a bhikṣuṇī; such a rule should be respected, etc., as above. A śikṣamāṇā, having trained in the precepts, requests full upasampadā from the bhikṣu-saṃgha; such a rule should be respected, etc., as above. A bhikṣuṇī who commits a saṃghāvaśeṣa offense must undergo mānatva in both saṃghas; such a rule should be respected, etc., as above. A bhikṣuṇī half-monthly requests instruction from the saṃgha; such a rule should be respected, etc., as above. A bhikṣuṇī should not observe the summer rains retreat in a place where there are no bhikṣus; such a rule should be respected, etc., as above. When the bhikṣuṇī-saṃgha has completed the summer rains retreat, they must go to the bhikṣu-saṃgha to request three-point pravāraṇā: what has been seen, heard, and suspected; such a rule should be respected, etc., as above. Next, he preaches the Dharma to them, opening their understanding according to their capacity.)
