不拜 [bu bai]—Not Bowing—[Miscellaneous Notes (雜語 [za yu])] Those who have taken the Three Refuges (三歸 [san gui]) to become Upāsakas (優婆塞 [you po sai]) and Upāsikās (優婆夷 [you po yi]) must not worship the heavenly deities and earthly spirits (天神地祇 [tian shen de qi]) of other paths (餘道 [yu dao]). Bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]) and Bhikṣuṇīs (比丘尼 [bi qiu ni]) who have received the full precepts (具足戒 [ju zu jie]) must furthermore not bow to kings (國王 [guo wang]) or parents (父母 [fu mu]). The Pratyutpanna Samādhi Sūtra (般舟三昧經 [ban zhou san mei jing]), Chapter on the Four Assemblies (四輩品 [si bei pin]), states: "Having taken refuge in the Buddha, taken refuge in the Dharma, and taken refuge in the Bhikṣu Saṅgha, one must not serve other paths, must not bow to heaven, and must not offer sacrifices to ghosts and spirits (鬼神 [gui shen])." The lower scroll of the Brahmajāla Sūtra (梵網經 [fan wang jing]) states: "The rules for renunciants (出家人法 [chu jia ren fa]) are: not to bow to kings, not to bow to parents, not to revere the six relations (六親 [liu qin]), and not to bow to ghosts and spirits." Tang Yancong (唐彥悰 [tang yan cong]) compiled a six-volume work titled Collection of Matters Regarding Monastics Not Bowing to Lay People, etc. (集沙門不應拜俗等事 [ji sha men bu ying bai su deng shi]).
不拜—【雜語】受三歸為優婆塞優婆夷者，不得拜餘道之天神地祇。受具足戒之比丘比丘尼，并不得拜國王父母也。般舟三昧經四輩品曰：「自歸命佛，歸命法，歸命比丘僧，不得事餘道，不得拜於天，不得祠鬼神。」梵網經下曰：「出家人法，不向國王禮拜，不向父母禮拜，六親不敬，鬼神不禮。」唐彥悰所撰有集沙門不應拜俗等事六卷。
