This
translation is based primarily on the teachings given by our late teacher Master Miu King (恩師上妙下境老和尚) on this precepts and also draws from our understanding of the Chinese Mahayana lineage and also from various sutta translations from the Pali Canon.
While we learn through the translation of this precept manual, we hope that this translation will serve to open the doors for English speaking communities to the Treasures found in the Buddha Dharma.
Should there be any typos, errors or mistranslations, please contact us so that we may put in updates and corrections where necessary.
May the merits and wisdom accrued from this translation lead to the attainment of Nirvana, Buddhahood of all sentient beings.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

Thanks for the translation!
But pls note that some of the Chinese sentences cannot be read — some only half-revealed. perhaps this can be modified?
Hi there,
May I know the page(s) with this half-revealed Chinese sentences?
A pdf containing selected chapters is available at http://buddhavacana.net/yogacarabhumi-sastra/
Hello Shifu, may I ask if this set of training rules are meant for lay individuals? I was a little confused as some of the precepts were about accepting offerings. Thank you.
