This text contains five clauses: first, the transgressor; second, making an arrangement; third, traveling together; fourth, the excepted circumstances; fifth, the determination of the offense. The first two clauses are self-evident. “Making an arrangement” means agreeing to go together to a certain place. As for the third, “traveling along the same road to a village”: “the same road” refers to a place of travel demarcated between villages. As for the fourth, “except at a different time”: this provides an exception for circumstances that are not offenses. As for the fifth, “prāyaścittika”: this is the clause determining the offense upon crossing a boundary. The Vinaya states that according to the boundaries of the villages, for however many boundaries there are, he incurs a prāyaścittika for each. “Multiple boundaries” refers to multiple village boundaries; when traveling through uninhabited wilderness, it is a prāyaścittika for up to ten li. If it is less than one village or less than ten li, he incurs a duṣkṛta. If he travels across multiple villages within the same boundary, it is also a duṣkṛta. If by expedience an arrangement is made but he does not travel, it is also a duṣkṛta. The bhikṣuṇī also incurs a duṣkṛta; a bhikṣuṇī is a weak woman who must rely on a man as a companion and protector, so her subjective fault is slight. The Mahīśāsaka Vinaya states that from this settlement to that settlement, and in places without settlements for half a yojana, one incurs a prāyaścittika. The Vinaya states that for non-offenses: if they did not make an arrangement; first, traveling with a large caravan of merchants; second, in a place of suspicion, suspecting there are thieves; third, in a place of terror, fearing there are thieves; fourth, if going there brings safety; fifth, if incapacitated by physical force, or in perils to life or celibacy—all are permitted and do not constitute an offense. The Sarvāstivāda Vinaya permits it for guiding a bhikṣuṇī through dangerous paths. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.55) - [Next: 3.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.57) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787~en-mt.3.56) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [四分律比丘戒本](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.pratimoksa.dharmaguptaka*zh-buddhayasas.1.103) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2787.3.56) · Pramāṇa
