VENERABLE MASTER'S DHARMA RAIN

上人規矩集錦:出家人天天要讀誦戒律的經典
A Collection of the Venerable Master's Rules: Precept Sutras Daily

宣公上人講 心香 英譯 A talk by the Venerable Master Hua English translation by Heart Incense

……主其事的不可以躲懶偷安,不可以隨隨便便願意怎麼樣就怎麼樣,一定要守規矩,一定要守秩序,一定要把自己應該做的事情做好了它。上殿、過堂是照舊;除了上殿、過堂而外,天天都要讀誦戒律的經典,要能讀多少就讀多少,大家在一起來共同讀,共同來把五十三小咒,都要背得出,隨時隨地我會來要大家來背誦的。或者沙彌律、沙彌戒相、比丘四分律、比丘尼的戒律,再加菩薩戒,都要把它熟讀一新,都要能背誦,誰也不可以在這個時候躲懶偷安,又是用其他的理由來塘塞。這是一點!

Most importantly, you must not slack off or take it easy.  You cannot casually do as you please. You must adhere to  the rules and maintain order. You must do a good job of  fulfilling your duties. In addition to attending ceremonies  and taking your meal in the traditional way, you should recite the Precept Sutras daily, reciting as much as you are able  to. Everyone should recite together and memorize the fifty-three mantras. I may come in at any time and ask everyone  to recite them from memory. You should also become  thoroughly familiar with the Shramanera Vinaya, the  Shramanera Precepts, the Fourfold Bhikshu Vinaya, the  Bhikshuni Precepts, and the Bodhisattva Precepts. You have  to be able to recite them by heart. No one should be lazy or  give excuses. That's one point.
