65.176

Preceptor (heshang 和上; in sūtras sometimes written hezhe 和闍, which are all corruptions. It should properly be upādhyāya [鄔波弟邢], which translates here as 'reciting near', because when a disciple is young he does not leave his teacher, constantly following him closely to receive the scriptures and chant them. It is also called wubatuoye [鄔波拕邪; upādhyāya], translated here as 'personal instructor'. Older translations say: 'Knowing offenses and knowing non-offenses is called a heshang').
