七 落髮披衣
Chapter 7: Cutting Off Hair and Putting On the Robes
引請師復引至闍梨前。行者長跪合掌，以淨巾圍肩項。闍梨告云：
The guiding teacher then leads the practitioner before the master. The practitioner kneels upright with palms together, and a clean cloth is draped around their shoulders and neck. The master says:
「剃除鬚髮，為捨憍慢。著壞色衣，為除貪愛。少選之間，即與三乘賢聖儀相無別，當自欣慶。」
"Shaving off hair and beard is to let go of arrogance. Wearing dyed robes is to remove greed and craving. In but a moment, you become no different in outward bearing from the noble ones of the Three Vehicles—so you should rejoice in yourself."
言訖，即為剃四邊髮，留頂上少許。正剃髮時，大眾同唱出家偈云。：
After saying this, he shaved the hair on all four sides, leaving only a small tuft on the crown. As the hair was being shaved, the whole assembly chanted the verse for leaving home:
「毀形守志節， 割愛無所親， 棄家弘聖道， 願度一切人。」
"They shave their heads and hold fast to their vows, cutting off attachment and clinging to no one. They leave home to spread the sacred path, vowing to save all beings."
剃已，立起。又引至和尚前，行者長跪合掌。和尚云：
「今為汝剃去頂髮，可否？」
行者答云：
「爾！」
和尚便為剃之。大眾再同唱出家偈云：
「毀形守志節， 割愛無所親， 棄家弘聖道， 願度一切人。」
剃已，除去淨巾。○和尚取袈裟，授與行者。便頂戴受已，復還和尚。如是三反已，和尚親為著之，說偈云：
「大哉解脫服， 無相福田衣， 披奉如戒行， 廣度諸眾生。」
所授袈裟，即是縵衣。所以三授三反者，資持偈云：「三授與者，示勤至也。三反者，表辭讓也。」
