大威儀請問
若有善男子、善女人，不將澡豆洗手捉經，及前睡眠、伏地，三百億歲作廁中蟲；淨手搔癢、對經漫語，八百萬億歲墮黑闇地獄、二億歲生狐兔中；經前㖒唾、口銜帶，亦同前罪。

The "Great Dignified Conduct Inquiry" is an important Buddhist scripture, whose original translation is now lost and whose author is unknown. It is believed to have been composed during the period of Indian Mahayana Buddhism. The sutra takes the form of questions and answers, in which the Buddha or bodhisattvas elaborate on the detailed rules for dignified conduct and practice. It covers the daily activities of monks and nuns—walking, standing, sitting, lying down, as well as regulations regarding clothing, food, rituals, and recitation—emphasizing the foundational role of pure precepts in the practice of liberation. Belonging to the Vinaya category, this sutra is a significant text for studying early Buddhist disciplinary thought and monastic life. Although the original text has been lost, related quotations and commentaries still exist within Chinese and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, reflecting its profound influence on the development of Buddhist institutions.
