第八不歌舞音樂戒
沙彌尼戒。不得聽歌舞音樂聲。拍手鼓節。不得自為。亦不教人。常自修身。順行正法。不為邪行。一心歸佛。誦經行正。以為法樂。不為俗樂。聽經思惟。深入大義。自不有疾。不得乘車馬象。當念輕舉。入不思議神通之達。以為車乘。度脫八難。是為沙彌尼戒也。
The Novice Nun's Precepts: One must not listen to singing, dancing, or music, nor clap hands or keep rhythm. One should not do these oneself, nor teach others to do them. Always cultivate oneself, follow the right path, and avoid wrong actions. With a focused mind, take refuge in the Buddha, recite scriptures, and practice right conduct—finding joy in the Dharma, not in worldly pleasures. Listen to the teachings and contemplate them deeply, entering into their profound meaning. Unless ill, one should not ride in carriages, on horses, or on elephants. Instead, keep in mind the light and lifted state of mind that transcends ordinary thought, and use the reach of inconceivable spiritual powers as one's vehicle to escape the eight difficult conditions. These are the precepts for a novice nun.
