《百丈禅师丛林要则二十条》中英版

丛林以无事为兴盛，修行以念佛为稳当。

精进以持戒为第一，疾病以减食为汤药。

烦恼以忍辱为菩提，是非以不辩为解脱。

留众以老成为真情，执事以尽心为有功。

语言以减少为直截，长幼以慈和为进德。

学习以勤习为入门， 因果以明白为无过。

老死以无常为警策，佛事以精严为切实。

待客以至诚为供养，山门以老旧为庄严。

凡事以预立为不劳，处世以谦恭为有理。

遇险以不乱为定力，济物以慈悲为根本。

The Twenty Essential Rules of the Monastic Community by Chan Master Bai-zhang

A monastery flourishes when there is nothing amiss;
Spiritual cultivation is most secure through the recitation of the Buddha’s name.

Diligence begins with upholding the precepts;
Illness is best treated by moderating one’s food intake.

Afflictions are transformed into enlightenment through forbearance;

Disputes are resolved and liberated by refraining from argument.

To retain the community, one must rely on the genuine, seasoned virtue of the elders;
In fulfilling duties, wholehearted devotion is true merit.

Speech is perfected through restraint;
Compassion & Harmony between elders and juniors nurture virtue.

Study advances through diligent practice;
Understanding causality prevents transgression.

Awareness of impermanence keeps one vigilant against death at old age;
Buddhist rituals are meaningful only when performed with precision and reverence.

Receiving guests with sincerity is an offering of respect;
An aged and weathered monastery radiates true dignity.

Preparation before action prevents exhaustion;
Humility and courtesy are the principles of conduct.

Remaining steadfast in the face of peril is the power of samādhi;
Extending compassion in the aid of others is the root of all virtue.
