The *Shisong Jiemo Biqiu Yao Yong* compiled by Sengqu during the Liu Song dynasty is a practical manual of Buddhist Vinaya based on the *Shisong Lü*. This work systematically organizes the karmavācanā (formal procedures) and disciplinary regulations required for bhikṣus in their daily religious life, covering essential guidelines for important observances such as poṣadha (fortnightly confession), repentance, and ordination. Its compilation arose from the need within the Chinese monastic community for greater clarity in the practical application of the Vinaya-piṭaka, endowing it with high utility and instructional value. This text serves as a key document for the study of the development of Vinaya studies and the construction of monastic institutional systems in early Chinese Buddhism. It holds a significant position within the Vinaya tradition of Chinese Buddhism and has provided authoritative guidance for monastics across generations in upholding precepts and cultivating practice.

宋沙門釋僧璩於楊都中興寺依律撰出

Song Dynasty Monastic Shi Sengqu Compiled at Zhongxing Temple in Yangdu According to the Vinaya

(羯磨隨事乃有眾多，且依成文略出要用，若餘不盡在於大本。凡在大眾內欲作羯磨，作羯磨者集唱：僧今和集欲作何事？僧中一人應隨答作某羯磨)又唱：「不來諸比丘說欲(說已唱白羯磨，若在戒場上但唱也)。」

(There are many types of Karma procedures depending on the situation. Based on the written texts, I'm briefly listing the essential ones. For what is not covered here, please refer to the original scriptures. When performing Karma within a community, the one leading the ceremony announces: "The Sangha is now assembled. What matter shall we proceed with?" Then a member of the community replies according to the task.) Then, he announces: "Absent monks, state your intentions." (After saying this, the formal Karma declaration is chanted. If only on the precept platform, the chanting alone suffices.)

「僧今和集欲作何事？」

"The Sangha has gathered here today—what shall we do?"

受三歸五戒文第一(受三歸五戒法，白衣初來欲受三歸五戒，教禮佛法僧，胡跪合掌懺悔三業，然後受之。戒師應教云)

Wen on Receiving the Three Refuges and Five Precepts, Part 1

「我某甲，從今盡壽，歸依佛兩足尊、歸依法無欲尊、歸依僧眾中尊。」(如是三說)

"I, [Your Name], from this day forward and for the rest of my life, take refuge in the Buddha, the most honored among beings; take refuge in the Dharma, the most free from attachment; take refuge in the Sangha, the most respected in the community." (Repeat this three times.)

「我某甲，歸依佛竟、歸依法竟、歸依僧竟。於釋迦牟尼佛法中，樂受五戒為優婆塞。當證知。」(如是三說)

I, [your name], take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha. Within the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, I joyfully receive the Five Precepts as a lay practitioner. May this be known.(Repeat three times)

「汝某甲聽。是佛婆伽婆，釋迦牟尼多陀阿伽度、阿羅訶、三藐三佛陀，為優婆塞說五戒。凡是優婆塞，當盡壽護持。何等為五？盡壽離殺生是優婆塞戒。是中盡壽離殺生，是事能持不？」(答能)
「盡壽離不與取是優婆塞戒。是中盡壽離不與取，是事能持不？(答能)

*Refraining from taking what is not given for one's entire life is the precept of a lay practitioner. In this, can you uphold refraining from taking what is not given for your entire life?* *(Answer: I can.)*

「盡壽離邪婬是優婆塞戒。是中盡壽離邪婬，是事能持不？」(答能)
「盡壽離妄語是優婆塞戒。是中盡壽離妄語，是事能持不？」(答能)
「盡壽離飲酒是優婆塞戒。是中盡壽離飲酒，穀酒、甘蔗酒、蒲萄酒，一切能放逸酒，是事能持不？」(答能)
