《Precepts for Shaolin Disciples》
—— Songshan Shaolin Temple,China
Abbot Shi Yongxin

戒为菩提本，也是武德根。想我少林，立世千载，不为无因。今吾顺承古意，赓续前言，聊为诸子，略叙鄙怀。
Precepts are the principles of Bodhi; they are also the roots of martial arts virtue. By staying true to these precepts, our Shaolin Temple has been able to endure for over a thousand years.
In keeping with our patriarchs’ intention, I would like to express my humble ideas in order to pass on their teachings to our disciples.

其约如下：

一戒叛师:
凡少林弟子，须尊师守礼，明道为先；法贤进德，至善是念。
1.Loyalty and respect to teachers：

All Shaolin disciples must follow our commitment to respecting teachers.
Understanding the Way is foremost. Follow our virtuous ancestors’ behavior, and uphold our kind mind.

二戒忘恩:
凡少林弟子，当孝恩是膺，济报有常；伤亲害友，雷怨众迁。
2. Gratitude to parents and teachers：

All Shaolin disciples must undertake the responsibility of repaying gratitude to parents and teachers. Any harmful behavior to others will lead to bad karma and others will not want to associate with them.

三戒诸恶:
凡少林弟子，当净意择善，律己从道；杀盗淫妄，功德尽捐。
3. Avoiding evil behavior：

All Shaolin disciples must practice purifying their mind and kindness, following the rules of no killing, no adultery, and no lying.

四戒浮艺:
凡少林弟子，当虚己勤习，抱朴专艺；博识凝神，心沉自雄。
4.Humility and dedication：

All Shaolin disciples must be humble and diligent in their practice, dedicating themselves to developing expertise while acquiring broad knowledge and maintaining focus. A dedicated mind achieves inner power.

五戒偏执:
凡少林弟子，须体用兼备，明体达用；禅武并重，宗风乃彰。
5.Eliminating ego：

All Shaolin disciples must practice what they learn in their daily lives. Propagation of Chan and Martial Arts is achieved when disciples practice both simultaneously.

六戒怠惰:
凡少林弟子，须敬事不辍，信理不馁；朝夕精练，久久为功。
6.Diligence：

All Shaolin disciples must practice diligently and courageously. Kung Fu can only be achieved through continuous hard work.

七戒欺斗:
凡少林弟子，禁逞强斗狠，恃技辱人；狂心戾气，必招悔恨。
7.Avoiding cheating and fighting:
Shaolin disciples must never use their skills to bully others.

八戒帮派:
凡少林弟子，实同袍连枝，气属一体；挟私阴聚，伤吾浩然。
8.No factions：

All Shaolin disciples are united as one entity. There should not be any private groupings.

九戒毁他:
凡少林弟子，当和敬同道，砥砺共进；自赞毁他，当知是耻。
9. Respecting the reputation of others：

All Shaolin disciples must respect each other following the principles of the Way. Praising oneself and disparaging others is a shameful behavior.

十戒抗诏:
凡少林弟子，当心系大义，有召必应；苟利众生，忘身如归！
10.Obedience：

All Shaolin disciples must obey orders in carrying out missions for the benefit of all.

凡此十戒，自度度他，当遵不犯，志心恒念！

All Shaolin disciples must observe these ten precepts with strong will and faith to liberate themselves and others.
