Third, number and categories: discussing this section comprehensively, this section has ten categories: 1. according to the Yogācārabhūmi, there are forty-four types of minor precepts; 2. according to the Dichi and Shanjie jing, although there are minor additions and omissions, they largely agree with the Yogācārabhūmi; the above are mostly precept characteristics for the ordained; 3. according to the Bodhisattva Internal Precept Sūtra, forty-two types; 4. according to the Shansheng jing, aside from the six major ones, there are separately twenty-eight; 5. according to the Fangdeng jing, aside from the twenty-four precepts, there are separately five times five, or twenty-five types instituted that should not be done; the above are mostly precepts for the laity; 6. according to the general count of this sūtra, there are forty-eight types; 7. if one closely examines within this text, in one precept there may be multiple precepts, totaling nearly a hundred types; the above apply commonly to both monastics and laity; 8. or eighty thousand types, as stated below in the listed "Chapter on the Eighty Thousand Deportments"; 9. or one hundred thousand types, as the Liang Treatise cites the Vinayaghoṣila Sūtra stating that the bodhisattva precepts have one hundred thousand distinct types; 10. precepts as numerous as dust and sand, as in the Dazhidulun, which has eighty thousand in brief and numbers like dust and sand in extensive. Such are all of this category.
