僧羯磨 3.51

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809.3.51)

大德！莫自作不可共語，當作可共語。大德如法諫諸比丘，諸比丘亦當如法諫大德。如是佛弟子眾，得增益展轉相教，展轉相諫，展轉懺悔。大德！可捨此事，莫為僧所呵，更犯重罪。（若隨語者善；若不隨語者，乃至第三，如上。白四法體，亦如律明。）

> "Bhadanta! Do not make yourself unapproachable for speech; you should make yourself approachable for speech. The bhadanta should admonish the bhikṣus in accordance with the Dharma, and the bhikṣus will also admonish the bhadanta in accordance with the Dharma. In this way, the assembly of the Buddha's disciples increases by instructing one another, admonishing one another, and repenting to one another. Bhadanta! You may abandon this matter; do not be rebuked by the saṃgha and further commit a grave offense." (If he complies with the words, it is well; if he does not comply with the words, one proceeds up to the third, as above. The substance of the jñapticaturtha-karman procedure is also as explained in the Vinaya.)
