Essential Regulations for the Chan Monastery (禪林備用清規)


月 諸祖忌
道行崇重。功宰山門。隔日法堂鋪陳。不可越例。若列祖如常。粥罷諷經。當請牌座。法座敷設供養。依法出班。住持兩班展拜。侍者班尾拜。借香問訊。或大眾拜。有見。只就祖堂。下食一位。諷經(甚非禮也)。

The Way is profound and revered. The abbot presides over the mountain gate. Every other day, the Dharma hall is arranged; one must not overstep the customary rules. If the ancestral patriarchs are present as usual, after the morning porridge, scriptures are recited. The ceremonial seat should then be set up, with offerings arranged according to the Dharma. The abbot and the two assemblies perform prostrations, with the attendants bowing at the rear. Incense is offered with a respectful inquiry. If all beings bow, one may proceed to the ancestral hall, offering a single meal. Scriptures are recited, (which is most improper indeed).

回向(仰冀真慈。俯垂昭鑒。今月巳日。山門伏值前住當山第幾代。某人和尚。示寂之辰。營備香羞。以伸供養。諷誦大悲神呪。所集殊勳。奉為真慈增崇品位。十方三世。一切諸佛。云云)。
