六 所用之教授法
Six: The Teaching Method Used
參用新教授法,務期明瞭易解。
Using a new teaching method to ensure clarity and ease of understanding.
惟依文釋義,無有發揮。 如「三寶」、「七佛」,乃至「涅槃」等義,講釋尤略。
Explaining only according to the literal meaning, without elaboration. For terms such as the "Three Jewels," the "Seven Buddhas," and "Nirvana," the explanations are especially brief.
難解之文言,及律學專門名詞,必不得已乃用之,用時隨即略為解釋。
For challenging classical expressions and specialized Vinaya (monastic discipline) terminology, use them only when absolutely necessary, and provide a brief explanation immediately after their use.
教材極為簡單,罕有增加。惟增加下記數種:
The teaching materials were extremely simple and rarely expanded. Only the following few kinds were added:
講解之前,先略說律學派別等。
Before explaining the teachings, let me briefly outline the different schools of the Vinaya (monastic discipline).
《靈峯宗論》及《毗尼事義集要》中,有警策之文及問答等,酌為選錄,隨時附講。
From the *Collected Works of Master Lingfeng* and the *Essential Collection of Vinaya Matters and Meanings*, I will select instructive passages and dialogues, using them as supplementary teachings when the opportunity arises.
講廣教別序後,略說篇聚名義等。
After explaining the general structure of the teachings and their specific sequence, I will now briefly discuss the names and meanings of the sections and categories.
盜戒依《戒疏》、《事鈔》增之。
The precept against stealing is expanded upon according to the "Commentary on the Precepts" and the "Matters of Conduct."
消釋文義,皆宗南山、靈芝之說。凡有新律家所釋,與舊說大異者,亦附及之,以備參考。(南山《鈔》、《疏》,有時所說不同。蓋《鈔》文猶宗昔解,《疏》文乃改易也。)
The explanations of texts and meanings all follow the traditions of the Southern Mountain and Lingzhi schools. Whenever the interpretations by new Vinaya masters differ significantly from older theories, these are also included for further reference. (The Southern Mountain school's *Commentary* and *Sub-commentary* sometimes differ in their explanations. This is because the *Commentary* still adheres to earlier interpretations, while the *Sub-commentary* reflects revised ones.)
